Arctic Friends are perfect for this time of year, and with the December Orange Art Box you can learn to draw and sculpt them! Vada and Kyla had a great time creating friends on bookmarks, postcards, and cards. Then made critters and more with clay, and they learned some skills they want to teach you.
Also, be sure to check out THIS post for Orange Friday deals and a giveaway that ends on December 8th, 2019.
Bug art for kids? Sounds like some awesome summer fun to me! The July Orange Art Box is full of buzzin’ bugs and will bring out the creative little entomologist inside your kiddos. Kyla and Vada had a blast making all sorts of insect art, and they even ended up with a bug jar and bug book to keep the fun going all summer long.

It’s time for the unveiling of the May Orange Art Box projects by Kyla and Vada. There are lots of bitty birdies and bright colors this month. The girls had fun and we now have some great paint and brushes added to our stash.
This week we dove into our April Orange Art Box and the girls made some fun and useful creations! We are also giving away a May Orange Art Box at the end of this post, so make sure to stick around. Now let me show you all the fun from April.
After seeing some Skittles paintings on the internet, Vada wanted to give it a go in a more creative way then just painting with the Skittles colored water. All the tutorials we found had the Skittles in a bowl of water, and then you used the colored water as paint, but we wanted to try actually using the Skittles on the paper.
The new year is a great time to learn new crochet skills. Not only is the weather cool which makes sitting under a pile of yarn nice and cozy, but we often think about improving ourselves as the new year begins. I’ve perused some of the crochet skill classes offered by Annie’s and picked out 8 that look awesome. Stick around until the end of this post and you can enter to win your choice of one of these classes!
Here are the links to the classes and a little info about each one.
