Martha University

Martha Stewart offers a video filled with many wonderful ideas for summertime crafting with the kids. It's a great way to work side-by-side with your kids as they master valuable skills such as how to use basic tools and materials, and it will help build their confidence in the act of creating. Plus, it's a fun, engaging, and easy way to lure them away from the TV and computer. Martha's simple, creative activities will ignite their imaginations as they make crafts and games using household items, and they'll learn basic techniques they can use again and again. While parental involvement is required for some of the projects (superhero capes for your little legends in the making), other projects require less supervision. And when you've helped a child make a water-sponge party happen, it becomes not only an indelible memory, but a bonding experience for all. This is a great general video for moms and dads and will help with weekend babysitting activity ideas for teens, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.  Includes helpful printouts How To Stock a Sewing Kit, How To Stock a Craft Kit, and Templates for Beanbag Toss and Superhero Cape Towels.
