Feeding Caroline’s Creativity With My Froggy Stuff

A few weeks ago I ended up on the website A girl and a glue gun and her DIY Barbie House post (now both closed). I knew Caroline would be enthralled, but I had no idea how much it would impact her.

She has watched pretty much all of the crafting videos by My Froggy Stuff and has been inspired. Inspired, I tell you! Every little thing in the house now bursts with potential to be used for “something” creative. It is amazing to see how an already creative child has been inspired to new levels. All she needed was a little bit of her horizons broadened and wow!




Our learning room and craft cabinet has been in full use mode and I don’t think any cardboard boxes have made it to the recycling bin in the garage since she saw these videos. Because they need to be used to make something.

Here’s a couple of the videos she watched. Maybe they will inspire you or your daughter as well.

(Updated 2022 – My Froggy Stuff has changed a lot since I wrote this post. I would be much less enthusiastic about recommending it now. But at the time, it was fantastic for showing neat crafts.)

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to thoughtfully examine all of life and think for yourself.
