Ice Cream Craft and Activity Ideas

With July being National Ice Cream month, we thought it would be fitting to feature some of the blogging world’s best ice cream crafts and activities.  We’ve featured projects from the most involved to the simple, from pretend play ideas to crafts that would function as gifts and decorations.  What better way to spend a rainy summer afternoon, or to unwind after a long day at the beach or pool!

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
