Ever heard of agamographs? It's optical illusion art that changes depending on how you look at it. I saw this idea first on STEAM powered family. With Halloween coming around, I thought I'd make a coloring sheet agamograph that kids of all ages could try. This would be a perfect after-school activity! No cutting or gluing involved. Just print out the free coloring sheet below, color it in, accordian fold it, and voila! A cool piece of op art!

Free 3D Minecraft Paper Doll Printables
Do your kids love Minecraft? My two boys simply adore the game and we've made tons of Minecraft crafts this past year. When my eldest made a cute 3D paper Steve from Paper Pixelcraft my younger son wanted a paper doll too, but there were just too many parts for him to cut out and fold. So I ended up simplifying the doll design and leaving it blank so that he could draw in his own details. Since both boys enjoyed making these simpler Minecraft paper dolls, I figured I'd share the designs here too.
Ready to color, cut, fold, tape, and play?

Can you draw a face just using one line?
I'm not sure about your family, but sometimes nighttimes with little kids can be pretty trying. Everyone is grumpy. Everyone is tired. Emotions tend to run high. Patience is worn thin.
Well, we've had a couple of tough nights these past weeks. Recently I've found that simple drawing activities can put the kids (and me) in better moods. Here's one easy art activity that we recently tried and enjoyed. Can you draw a face using just one line?

Make a Mini Science Journal Booklet from one sheet of paper
Have you ever tried making tiny notebooks? My eldest is currently obsessed with pocket-sized books. He loves using them to doodle, jot down ideas, or record stories. Today we're doing a STEAM themed craft and turning a single white sheet of computer paper into a cute science journal. It's the perfect place for young scientists to jot down observations, hypotheses, and ideas for experiments.
Let's get making!
