Anyone know of any easy DIY projects kids could do in a small space with limited access to yards?  My kids' friends live in a nearby apt. complex over by the food co-op and I think they'd all enjoy some kind of easy project they could do at home without getting in trouble with the property managers, etc.

I guess we settled on home made Chia Pets for October.  We don't know any place to kiln fire clay so we might use some old pots and paint them then throw in some wheatgrass seed

Hi Robert.

You might contact http://www.zootownarts.com/ and see if they could help fire your pottery projects. They seem like a pretty cool outfit.

Thanks for that Andy!  I accidentally broke one of the kids first little pottery dishes and have felt bad ever since.  I think doing that together would help mend that little touch of pain lurking in my mind.  All parents have some but a little less couldn't hurt eh?
