Action Pack : Issue 8 {Celebration}

Just a quick reminder there's a new Action Pack available with everything you need for succesful holidays and for keeping the kids (or yourself) busy on those long winterdays: recipes (we have our very own Speculaas recipe in there, with our very own secret Speculaas mix!), crafts, gifts, games, Christmas decorations, ...

And in case you ran out of gift ideas, how about buying the Action Pack 2011 Bundle including all 7 2011 issues? Go check it out!

Lemon and lime garland

If you want to hold on to that summer feeling a little longer - or want to have an early start, depending on where you are - I highly recommend making one of these!
My girls and I made this colorful lemon and lime garland over summer vacation for the latest issue of Action Pack, which is all about Zap and Zest this time, with zap referring to electricity and zest to anything citrus.
So, if you'd like to find out how to make one of these and much, much more, please, hop over to Action Pack for a double issue full of fun facts and activities, crafts, science projects and recipes.

A nice way to kick off the weekend, if you ask me!

Have fun!

Action Pack: Issue 5 {Chalk & Cheese}

One of the posts I really wanted to have up on my blog sooner, but which didn't make it due to an impossibly slow internet connection was the announcement of the latest issue of Action Pack, the online kids magazine by the amazing Kathreen Ricketson (Yes! Kathreen's also the person behind Whip Up and the Crafternoon books).

Action Pack Issue 5 is all about chalk and cheese, with lots of fun projects kids can do themselves, recipes , crafts, and fun facts ... You can buy your very own Action Pack here , as well as order back issues.

And when you scroll down to page 22-23 in the latest issue, you'll find a project my girls and I put together - we had the hardest time getting everything photographed in between rain showers, but we made it and it was lots of fun!!

So, make sure to check out the Action Packs  - you won't be disappointed, nor will your kids!!



Cheers!
