Enchanted Learning
Enchanted Learning offers some interesting craft ideas on seasons, Mexican and Native American crafts and learning crafts like a great one to make a clock! This site is nice to look at and easy to navigate. I've had a bucket of plaster of paris up in my cabinet for a year and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Thanks to this page I know how to mix up a batch of sidewalk chalk.

Kid's Domain
I have long been a fan of Kid's Domain's downloadable learning freeware, but they also have an incredible collection of crafts and clipart for seasons and holidays. If you've never visited this site, set aside some time you'll want to click around!

Sunday School Crafts
The first time I saw Sunday School crafts.com I emailed my church about it. If you teach Sunday School or do religious crafts within your homeschool curriculum, this site is a worth looking into. You can correlate a Bible lesson with a craft made from simple materials. I looked up the lesson "God Will Never Leave You", an important lesson for our children during these times, and found a short lesson with a matched craft made out of paper cups and craft sticks.

DLTK Crafts
Our family has printed, cut and pasted from DLTK for years now. Last spring we cut out all the power puff girls toilet paper roll characters and the kids put on a hilarious puppet show. (I know, this was not exactly Prairie Primer, but plenty of fun!). We also print out the thank you notes, birthday invitation, valentines. It's a great frugal resource and plenty of fun for the kids!
