I’m pretty excited about all of the ways that Pinterest encourages me to engage with my children. I know a lot of people complain that Pinterest is just a time-sucker. True, Pinterest sucks a lot of time. But, it also improves my life by instilling creativity, productivity, and new ways for me to challenge my children by learning and crafting.
Here are a few of my recent finds! Have you done any of these? What other learning activities and crafts have you found on Pinterest that inspired you?

Get your kids to recreate images using Play-dough. This great set of printables can entertain your kids while at the same time encourage them to learn and be creative!

I like clean crafting, and this seems to be about the cleanest way for the kids to “paint” and learn about mixing colors. Plus, you gotta admit, it’s pretty darn pretty! 🙂

I L.O.V.E this idea for a station rotation! Send the kids to 30 minute stops throughout the house and mix in music, reading, playing and gaming. Four rotations equals two hours of entertainment and education. Woohoo!

My big kid seriously loves beads. He developed this love at art camp. And as much as I want him to develop his interests, I’m not much into clay and real beads are too small to play with around his brother. Which is why I thought this was just about the coolest idea… ever!
