DIY Sidewalk chalk paint
On April 14, 2012, the weather looked nice and Nico had been asking for a picnic so we headed to the park, but before we went, I decided that since Nico likes paint so much, maybe we should make our own DIY sidewalk chalk paint (haven’t seen any in stores anyways).

Clay Christmas ornaments
Here are the final products: In our quest to have our Christmas tree mostly decorated with ornaments made by or helped by Nico, we have been looking into different things to work with in order to make it easy to do and at good old Wal*Mart we saw Crayola air-dry clay, which does not have to be baked, but can just air dry, which we figured would be a cool thing to do with Christmas shaped … Read entire article »
