it's getting pretty whiny around here. these last weeks of summer can really ride your last nerve. let's make them meaningful before that school bell rings.
here is a super cute "at home craft/ recycle/ be kind to animals" type of project.
the video link below is step by step instructions for building a birdhouse from a milk carton. it's not the newest idea on the block, but it will keep kids entertained. why not add to the fun by getting a hold of some binoculars and keeping a journal of all the visitors your house attracts. budding photographers can get in on the act as well.
as with ALL acme sharing projects, you can spend as much or as little time on it depending on the age and attention span of your offspring.
the lesson: helping nature helps us all.
***added bonus: the sweet tweets coming in from the window make a happier home.
