This paper roll wizard craft is SO MUCH FUN. And with the free printable template, it's also really easy to make! We love making kids crafts that you can actually play with when you're done. Every time I make something that needs cut out pieces - like this paper roll wizard - I scan the pieces so I can make it again afterwards. I gave my 9 and 7 year olds the print outs with all the pieces (I'll include a link to the printable template below) and they made wizards for themselves without my help! And you know I

Planning family travel to Switzerland? Here are travel planning tips for the three castles of Bellinzona in southern Switzerland.
Today I took a little side trip by myself, since Rick was helping with a school "porta aperta" where the kids can learn about American football. I decided to take the train to Bellinzona and from there the bus to Osogna, which is just before Biasca. Our friends from the north of Switzerland had told us that there was a nice grotto - an old, traditional Ticinese simple restaurant, near the waterfall. I decided to go and explore! The old church of Santa Maria del Castello, which is built on the ruins of an old castle, next to the waterfall. I'll take a short hike up to visit. The old path which probably led to the castle. It's typical to find a gate here and there while hiking, as paths often lead through areas where animals graze. Please close the gate! In the distance, on the other side of the valley, is a granite quarry. Inside the little church of Santa Maria del Castello. View over Osogna and down the valley, from up at the church. Santa Maria del Castello I then walked down to the bottom of the falls (the white under the tree on the left) where it forms a nice little pool - even with a little stone beach! The restaurant "Grotto al Pozzon" is on the other side of the pool. The waterfall in Osogna. I hear that back in this waterfall people do canyoning. Osogna waterfall The waterfall with the church above Grotto al Pozzon along the river Most Grotti don't have an extensive menu. I was able to choose from roast beef (as shown), a plate of cheese and sausages, or onion soup. I walked a little around the town and spotted this beautiful old villa, with painted walls. Another old house on the piazza. I don't think I've ever seen such a tall house with the traditional stone roof. You can see the first floor wall extend out for support. The base was thicker the taller the building went. Looking back along the river to the church Ok, here's the quarry again and a funny story! I was sitting on the bench at the bus stop when there was a huge dynamite blast. It shook the ground and the bus stop so hard that it actually POPPED ME OFF MY SEAT! KABOOM!!!!!! Now also, I'm wondering what will happen to the few homes and the church that are located just above the quarry? (I'm sure they are full of cracks!) Will they eventually fall into the quarry? Here I am, waiting for the bus. As I look at this wall of mountain side, I'm always amazed to see a house perched where you think there could NEVER be one. Look closely towards the upper left of the picture in the green woods. You see a white dot. If you enlarge the picture, you'll see it's a house! There were steep cliffs below - how do they get there?
