Friday Fun: Nail art, Lego activities, collage shrines and more.

Try some fun nail art. These tutorials are great! Wood Sprite spent the night with her grandma last weekend and came home with painted toenails for the first time—something that she normally hates. They were blue and adorable, so naturally Indy teased her about kicking smurfs.

By the way, we went to a class on ancient Chinese inventions and did you know that the Chinese invented nail polish? Its color was for status regarding money—gold, silver and bronze.

Here’s a whopping roundup of 70 free Lego activities.

Make a day out of seeing what free things you can do in your town. Try the library, hiking, wading in the creek, riding your bikes, reading at the park, whatever you like. Show your kids how much fun you can have without spending anything (except maybe gas money).

Make this cool spiral herb garden! I just love it.
