The Boy's Store Blog — Art Projects

Valentine's Day is over and now St. Patrick's Day is coming up fast. We are already thinking ahead to crafts all month long. With little kids at home still, we find that the best way to entertain is to give them lots of arts and crafts projects. My youngest boy loves a great arts and crafts project, and since he is the last baby we love to make little projects with him to enjoy the last of the fun activities with kids. This month I am collecting ideas for St. Patrick's Day. My little man loves rainbows, so this is...
