Crafting time for creativity

Studies have shown that kids who spend time creating develop stronger self-confidence, better problem-solving skills, and lower levels of anxiety. When children engage in creative activities, they learn to express themselves, think outside the box, and navigate challenges with resilience. Encouraging creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about building a foundation for lifelong curiosity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Wild Bird Cakes

Birds need food in the winter to maintain their energy and body heat. Where I live in Ontario, Canada, cold temperatures require birds to burn more calories to stay warm, and natural food sources like insects, berries, and seeds become scarce.
