Here is an incredible easy and fun craft to do with your kids this Summer! All you need are some citrus fruits and acrylic paint to create these bright, summery prints. We saw the idea here and thought it would not only be great for kids, but for adults too! We had a lot of fun creating our own designs, one of which we even framed and hung up! Here is how we did it:
Materials: White paper, an orange, a lemon, a lime, acrylic paint, paper plates, and a knife.
Directions:
1. Cut the fruits in half and blot each piece on a paper towel to remove as much of the juice as possible.
2. Squeeze paints onto a paper plate and dip the fruit halves in them.
3. Use another paper plate to dab some of the paint off of each fruit before you use it on the paper.
4. Stamp away!
Have fun making different designs and using lots of different colored paint! Let your creations dry completely before putting them in a frame or hanging them on the fridge. You could even fold one in half to make a card to send to a loved one! Have fun and Happy Summer!

The February weather in North Carolina is really throwing us all for a loop. It’s in the 70s today and we are not complaining! To celebrate the melted snow and encourage this early Spring day, we’d like to share a fruity treat!
Aren’t these ice cubes beautiful? They are so easy to make and are great to have on hand to add to any drink!
Ingredients: fresh fruit, silicone ice cube trays, and filtered water.
Directions:
1. Wash your fresh fruit.
2. Cut any fruit that is too big to fit into the ice cube tray. Citrus fruits can be cut in thin slices like these limes!
3. Prepare your water. Make sure you use filtered or bottled water for your ice cubes. It will freeze less foggy than tap water. If you want it even clearer, try boiling the water and letting it cool. We boiled our water once and the cubes were still foggy, but it might have needed to be boiled a second time!
4. Fill one ice cube tray with whole fruit like blueberries.
5. In a second ice cube tray, fold lime slices in half once or twice and wedge them into the tray.
6. Cover fruit with water and freeze!
Add the fruit ice cubes to a glass of water, a clear soda, lemonade, or even a cocktail.
There are so many options when it comes to these ice cubes. You can even add herbs or edible flowers! The possibilities are endless and so very beautiful.
Happy early Spring, everyone! Let’s hope this weather lasts!
