Did you know that there is a holiday just about every day of the year? Some are traditional, and others are wacky and fun. Some are by country, and others are international. For instance, July is International Boredom Month. If you have been following us for a long time, you know we are all about keeping your little artist busy.

On today’s post we are going to make some crafts based on some of these wacky and fun holidays. For example, July 7th is International Cookie Day. While we know in some parts of the world July is too hot to celebrate Turn on the Oven Month (insert giggles here), we decided to craft up a batch of our favorite cookies. No oven required!

We simply love this collection of projects. It is a great way to learn science through art. Today we have chosen to make our entire Solar System in this fun headband craft project. Your little artists can learn all the names of the planets while making and wearing their own Solar System crowns.
