Space Week!

Since we're fresh off all our Star Wars fun this weekend we'll continue the fun with Space Week!

I love the glow sticks in the bath activity that's been so popular this last year and I love how Growing a Jeweled Rose took it to the next step with a space themed glowing bath! She actually made her water itself glow!

Check out the glowing fun on Growing A Jeweled Rose and let me know if you have any great space ideas you think we'd love!

Happy Star Wars Day! Are you planning any fun activities to celebrate? Barnes and Noble and Toys R Us both have activities going on and your local libraries may as well!

StarWars.com has some crafts and printables like this Admiral Sackbar puppet

How about some new tees? at iLoveToCreate

How about some glowing balloon lightsabers from Filth Wizardry

Love these Tie Fighters out of cardboard and egg carton from Glory Laine

You can always make our Star Wars pillowcases (or tshirts or onesies)

Giveaway Reminders!

We have 2 awesome giveaways going on still that I don't want you to miss out on!

Fort Magic (a whole kit!)

And TWO winners for the Revell giveaway will win a SnapTite model kit AND $50 gift card to Hobby Lobby!

Fort Friday

Happy Fort Friday!

Here at All for the Boys we celebrate Fridays with some awesome fort inspiration from around the web. Whether made of sheets, cardboard, wood, or sticks, forts are a place we can go to transport our minds to wherever we want to go. You can play, dream, relax, or create in a fort. Everything is better in a fort!

You can share your forts by emailing me, Facebook, or Instagram and tag @allfortheboys and #fortfriday (by contacting me you are giving me permition to share your photo on the blog. Let me know if you want it linked up anywhere) - some are tagging me properly and I'm not able to pull it up again later :( So if you don't see yours here, email it to me!

Are you ready for your weekly dose of fort inspiration?

These kids look like fort pros with indoor and outdoor forts!

And these kids know the art of building a quick fort - quick because your little brother/sister may destroy it at any moment!

Love this teepee from Fun in the Making

The BoxTENT from Cakoseoglu design is definitely unique!

And not one you could get in (but your minifigs could!) a cardboard castle from Ann Wood

and a magical blanket fort from The Lemon Grove

Art Week Part 4: Trash to Treasure

Some of the best art supplies come from the trash or recycle bin! Give your kids some duct tape, screws, nuts, glue - whatever and let them have at the trash/recycle pile!
