About Us

Welcome to Cool Kids Craft Ideas. I want to take some time to introduce you to the team members who help kid test these crafts and contribute to the different ideas.

We have big kids and little kids that bring lots of different ideas for this website. We have a "core" team, which are my immediate kids and grandkids, and then we have the "extended" team members, which are many friends, extended family members and their kids and grandkids.

This way we can "kid test" our crafts for all ages and genders. I will introduce just the core team on this page starting from the youngest to the oldest.

Also, check out how this site is helping me work from home and spend more time with my grandkids.

The Grandkids

Jayden

The first little kid core team member is Jayden. Although he may be the smallest of the group his attitude and love for crafts make him mighty and powerful.

At age 3 he can tackle just about any kids craft (for his age) that we throw at him. His favorite color is red and his favorite craft activity is anything that has to do with painting, especially hand paints.

Tyler

tyler

Tyler comes to this team at 5 years old and curious as a cat. He's a crafty one (pun intended!) and moves from one craft to the next with lightening speed. His favorite craft... well just about anything.

He loves to paint, color, draw, cut and glue which makes him the perfect candidate to test out just about any kids craft ideas.

Austin

The last of the "little kids" core team member, at age 6, is Austin. He comes to this team with a love for life and crafts. He is a lean, mean crafting machine. He keeps us on track and perfects his crafts with his own special touches.

This one has patience that out does most adults and will finish with the highest quality to his crafts. His favorite color is all of them and his favorite craft is making Christmas decorations.

My Kids

Now to introduce the "big kids" on the team. Again starting from youngest to oldest.

Kristina

Let me introduce you to my daughter Kristina, mother of Jayden. She's not only a great mom but a perfectionist when it comes to doing kids crafts. She brings to the table many different craft ideas and has a great sense of color combinations.

Sorry, no statistics on age (that's just for the little ones) but her favorite color is baby blue and her favorite craft is anything that does not involve cotton balls (don't ask!).

Jon

jonny

Jon, or as I still call him, Jonny, is my son and fantastic father of Tyler and Austin. He's the disciplinary of the group, keeping us focused and on task.

But don't let his stern attitude fool you, he loves these kids crafts as much as the rest of us. His favorite color is orange and his favorite craft is pumpkin carving.

Michael

mikey

Although Mike is not close by (he lives in New Orleans) he's my oldest son (no kids yet) and loves to get in on the fun when he's home for a visit. As "Uncle Mike" the grandkids love to sit and craft with him whenever they can.

Mike's favorite color is blue and his favorite craft is anything that will allow him to spend time with his nephews.

Me, Myself and I

Julie

The last of the "big kids" core team member is myself (grandma). I am the creator, author and designer of Cool Kids Craft Ideas.

I started this website as a way to share with everyone else the fun and enjoyable times we have together. Crafts allow kids to fire up their imagination, learn many new skills and it's a great family bonding time.

If you have a passion for something and want to put it out on the web (and make some extra money), then keep reading all about working from home.

Work From Home

Another reason I started this website was thinking ahead to retirement (yes I have to start thinking about that now). I wanted a way to work from home and retire early.

After hours and hours of searching online for a legitimate way to make money (and no scams) I finally found it. In just three simple words it's "Site Build It!". What's this you ask?

Site Build It is a fantastic site to start your website. I knew nothing about designing a website but I knew this is something I always wanted to try. Site Build It was a perfect match for my "inexperience" at what it takes to build a website that gets noticed.

This is not a get rich scheme....believe me you have to work at it. But they provide the step by step for anyone to be able to create a website and earn money. Be sure to check out my other website www.exercise4weightloss.com to see how easy it is to create many different sites with different themes.
