1. Terra cotta clay pot bird bath. Invert terra cotta clay pots, from more prominent on bottom and smallest on top. Add a clay saucer (the part the pot sits in to catch the drained water). A waterproof saucer is necessary. Set the clay saucer on top of the inverted stack of pots. Paint or mosaic the pots if you feel specially creative. For more bird fun, add a mister. Birds love to play in the water. Note: Make two similar stands and use one for a bird feeder.

Keywords: clay pot bird bath; clay pot bird feeder; terra cotta bird bath.

2. Plant and grow an herb garden. Include herbs such as basil, thyme, sage, chives and any other favorites. You’ll have fresh herbs to add to your recipes all summer long. Herbs are easy to grow, making this an easy garden for kids to help. Take it one step further and give rise to a “kitchen garden”, including lettuce spinach, tomato, cucumber or other salad favorites.

Keywords: growing herbs; kitchen garden; easy herb gardening; gardening plans; container gardening.

3. Build a toad abode (toad house). Use a terra cotta pot and a rock. Invert a clay pot and prop edge on a rock. If you have a chipped pot, that would work great too and wouldn’t require propping. Paint and embellish to your liking.

Keywords: clay toad abode; toad house; frog house.

4. A handmade stepping stone. Personalize with stones, marbles, or other unforgettable items. Make the project a tradition. Mark the stone with the year and include items to do not forget the year; a key (house or car), a toy, etc. A footprint each year could signify the walk of life and would be fun for young children to mark their growth from summer to summer.

Keywords: stepping stone craft; handmade stepping stones; stepping stone kits.

5. Personalized necklaces. Letter beads (for names or initials), a few spacer beads, a charm or two added to a simple chain makes a lovely, personal necklace for any mom or grandmother. For fun, make sameness necklaces one for mom, grandmother, and daughters.

Keywords: individualized mother’s necklace.

6. Bookmarks make a great craft for rainy days. Get originative – use paper, dried flowers, ribbons, needlepoint thread. Use beads and charms attached to chain or yarn to fabricate a “book thong”.

Keywords: handmade bookmarks; handmade book thong.

7. A beautified throw pillow. A pre-made throw pillow with light colored fabric, beautified with fabric paint. Fabric glue will without apparent effort cohere buttons and other little mementos. Start from scratch and embellish your fabric before making a pillow – tie-dye, iron-on colored pictures made with fabric crayons or reverse dying using a darker fabric and bleach provide a great deal of originative ways to embellish any pillow or piece of fabric. Another variation would be embellishing pillow cases.

Keywords: handmade throw pillow; throw pillow craft; ornamental pillow craft; fabric crayons; iron-on transfers.

8. A tie-dye party is fun for family or a gathering of extended family and friends. Supplies are readily available online coming in easy kits.

Keywords: tie dye supplies; reverse dying.

When doing a search, undertake searching images also. Often time pictures of an already made item will spark a lot of originative thoughts.

Another great book in the series
By P. Brudz
My son loves these books. He read the A to Z mysteries also by Ron Roy and when he saw there was another series, he couldn’t wait to get his hands on them. He tore through them and learned some history and facts about Washington DC in the process. I highly recommend the whole Capital Mysteries series.

A quick read my son loved!
By J. Casey
Our second grade son couldn’t wait to read this book, as he loves anything about spies, detectives, etc., and he really enjoyed it! It was a pretty quick read, maybe 10 minutes at a time for 3-4 evenings, and the language and plot line were easy to follow. He’s read 4 books from this series so far, and this was probably his favorite!

Good mystery series for pre-teen readers.
By Nina R. Doyle
My 8-year-old son has enjoyed this book series very much. The reading level is comfortably easy for him and he enjoys solving the mysteries. It keeps him reading and even teaches him some facts at the same time. I recommend this whole series.
