Wow! Christmas is already here. I have been searching for idea's of what to make my boy's. I make them something every year. This year was hard though, Boy's are simple and so it seems to be hard to find anything besides what I have already done.  Tool belts, capes (which they wear daily) or swords. I decided that since my husband loves ninjas...I would go with that. So I made some ninja stars, and some nun chucks. They were super easy and fast. I used scrap fabric I already had, so no cost! here is how I did the stars.


First I drew up my shape on some paper. After that I used the pattern to cut 8 pieces out of felt.
I cut the felt pieces larger to include the seem allowance.
next I placed two of the felt cut outs together and sewed them around leaving a small opening...
Then I lightly stuffed the star. After that I sewed the opening closed.
Then I trimmed the edges and corners slightly , These are for my 3 and 4 year old.
I tacked down the middle using a regular needle and thread and I was done. I think my boys will love these play ninja stars, I kinda want to play with them myself. :)

There is so much freedom in how far we can take  an experiment or how long we can work on it. The other day my husband started to explain to our kids why oil doesn't mix with water. So today we experimented with water density. There are different versions of this experiment and this is how we did ours.   Things needed : Oil, water, salt, sugar, food coloring, clear glasses or jars,measuring cup. Here's what we did: Step one: Fill three clear jars half way each with warm water. ( Helps the salt and sugar dissolve)  Pour 1/2 cup of salt in the first jar and stir it to mix. Pour 1/2 cup of sugar in the second jar and stir to mix. Leave the third jar with plain fresh water. (Notice the salt in ours didn't fully dissolve but was still more dense then the others.) Step two: Pour 1/2 a cup of vegetable oil into ea
