Crafts for Boys

This may be the coolest thing I’ve seen all summer! Over at Skip to My Lou they have a fabulous tutorial on how to make a Duct Tape Bullwhip!

I’m frequently asked if I have craft classes and activities for boys. I always answer in the affirmative because I think boys can and should sew, knit, paint, make books, felt, etc. etc. But in all honesty, it isn’t always easy to find projects that would interest boys. Add to this the fact that I’m a Mom of two girls who grew up in the shadow of two older sisters. I do have an older brother but he is 10 years older than me so I don’t really remember him as a kid. So I’m stuck in a no (wo)man’s land of having no clue what boys like to do and make.

I would really appreciate any ideas, links, books, or suggestions to help me add to my crafty repertoire some boy friendly projects and activities.
