Making soap can be a good clean fun project.  You can pick up everything you need from a local craft store, and you can personalize your soap creations by adding color, fragrance, glitter, or trinkets.

Not so crafty but need a craft project for a group of kids?  Your first thought may be to stop by your local craft store and purchase a ready-made craft kit.  Great idea, although it may not be the best idea...depending on the age of the kids.

This is a great project for kids up to 12 years old.  It's a homemade version of those large sticks that sound like rain when you turn them over. 

We needed an easy ornament to make for our Girl Scout Troop, which would hold up in the outdoors, to decorate the Christmas tree in the Girl Scout Tree Grove. We loved the result so much we have made it every year since, using different wood shapes, and making an extra one to keep for our own trees.
