Remember this project? Well, the nifty gal behind the nifty blog Q-made gathered up her watercolors and her kiddos to paint up some eggs of their own.

Aren't they gorgeous? I love how vibrant the colors are and I love how one technique can bring so many results.

The happy family over at Domestic Scribbles tackled the shamrock cuffs, lookie! They discovered that their cuffs went flatty, flat, flat once the paint was applied and used liberal amounts of mod podge to keep them cuff shaped. If you have a pic of any of our scrumdilly-do projects, shoot them our way with a link and we'll share! Happy St. Patrick's Day and I hope yer wearing green, wink, wink.**

**As a child from a non-secular family, the furthest I  got into celebrating St. Patrick's Day was the surface fun of wearing green and cooking corned beef and cabbage stew. There is a lot more to it all and you can click here for more info on the holiday and here for more info on the man himself and here to learn more about Ireland, its culture and customs.

memory game in action

I had to do a Piaget Interview for my cognition class and decided to use jelly beans as the main ingredient. I interviewed the kidlets on conservation, ego-centrism and problem solving. We had a blast but maybe it was the jelly beans.

For the problem solving part of the interview, we played the memory game with the egg halves. I thought that maybe it would be too easy for the eight year olds but as it turned out, it was just hard enough and the five year old made enough matches to sing and dance too. Check it out:

scrumdilly-do in action!

There is nothing I like more than seeing a scrumdilly-do project as done by someone other than myself! Thank you to Jennifer for taking on a couple of kidlets and for attempting a bunch of projects. This bracelet is hers as the wee ones probably destroyed their own. You can do this anytime, anywhere as long as you have some masking tape handy. Keep a roll in your car and occupy your kidlets on quick errands and the like.

Coming up wee piñatas for one!
