We have some of the kid's drums from Remo, and they're great. You can play them with your hands or the mallet or a stray maraca or whatever.
Our biggest drum, the floor tom, is curr...
I made the keyboard ornaments last year, they're fun and really easy. I made mine 2-sided by gluing keys to both sides of the felt. My favorite has ZOMG on one side and WTF? on the other. I put ...
I made one for our door. It's just a printout on cardstock with a ribbon to hang it by the doorbell. It works!
Now that he's older, my son can sleep through anything, but I've held...

I buy old kid's science books for the illustrations/covers, and recently went nuts with a 2" circle punch and made a ton of circles thinking I would make them into a gar...
