Homeschooling Notes: FedEx Out of Office Blog Craft Ideas

UNEXPECTED IDEAS FOR CREATIVE PROJECTS

As a homeschool mom, I know how many hours are wasted looking for neat (and cheap) crafts for my kids.  It is summer here, but in the rainy south, we will have days that we are stuck inside.  I am always looking for things to keep their hands occupied… Enter FedEx’s Out of Office blog!

Mom Central and FedEx sent my boys some goodies to help them try out some of the projects on Out Of Office.DSCN1870

Zack (8) and Tank (3) made the bookmarks since those were the templates they sent us. :-)

DSCN1871Both really had a good time and asked if we could make some more projects!  Later this evening, we will sit down and choose a few more things and add the supplies to our shopping list.  I love quick, easy, not so messy projects!DSCN1874 DSCN1876

Aren’t their bookmarks adorable?  Zack is an Alabama Crimson Tide fan, but he made me an Auburn bookmark!  Wasn’t that sweet?

But, kids are not the only ones who can find fun and helpful info at the FedEx Out of Office Blog!  They have several categories, including Home Helpers!  A quick flip through found a GREAT post to help us Spring Clean Paper!  Wonder how you could get a gig like that?  FedEx, if you are reading this blog, I would LOVE to be a blogger on your awesome site. :-)   #imjustsayin

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of FedEx Office and received the items necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

    How did I miss that you were a homeschooling mom! LOL! I love little projects like this for homeschooling. Especially the ones with little mess to clean up afterwards!

      @alicia, Tsk, tsk. :-) I don’t spend a bunch of time talking about our homeschooling because I am not a homeschooling blog. The only way you would know it is if you have read me forever or if you were to read my ABout Me page. :-)

      Julie, thanks so much! I had an issue with my photos and am slowly getting them all put back. It is taking me much longer than anticipated and some are irreplaceable. :-( Anyway, these are back. :-)

    I remember how i tried to make my bookmarks as a kid :D
    I took some construction silicone from the garage and tried to put it in a mold in a thin layer. and i put a flower inside too. and surprisingly after several hours I really managed to make a thin silicone bookmark with a flower inside! :)
