SuperD and the boys have been hard at work on a fun new update that we are so excited about!  SKrafty Villas are coming soon and feature the ability to build your own mansions and villas inside a private space that your friends can also visit. This entire server will be built around SKrafty Nuggets and using them to buy new blocks and special perks. You will have the ability to build whatever you would like using a wide variety of blocks. By spending Nuggets you can also upgrade your villa size and start building huge mansions and parkour courses for you and your friends! The more you expand your villa and the harder you work on it the more the value goes up drastically and brings you up the leaderboard for top estate.

SKrafty Villas will be available for everyone to play, and SKrafty Donators will get to purchase special items from the shop. SKrafty Donators can buy particles that everyone in the server can see. Donators also get the ability to make their own arcade machines! Arcade games include classics like Tetris and Snake but also Flappy Bird and Cookie Clicker. With over 23 arcade machines you can make your villa a fun place for you and your friends to enjoy. Donators can purchase items that will allow them to expand their villa much easier. With items like the fly feather and jump feather you can easily reach high places on your villa to build. If you are a donator you will also be able to buy your own pet that will follow you around through the entire server!  Don’t forget to feed your pet to keep it happy and healthy! 

Since SKrafty Villas revolve around SKrafty Nuggets you’ll want to be saving up so you can increase your estate value and get on the leaderboards! Donators can even make a sign that will show everyone their hard earned estate value. Don’t fret though if you aren’t a donator.  There are still ways to earn nuggets without it.  However, we sure do appreciate them as SKrafty Donators are the reason we are able to keep SKrafty, the safest and most family friendly Minecraft server out there, free and moderated.  Find more info about becoming a SKrafty Donator to help keep SKrafty running HERE.

Are you ready to get started on your Villa?  Keep an eye on on the SKrafty server scoreboard in hub for an announcement when it opens.  See you there!

I don’t usually post deals like this on here, but I just have to share this for my fellow Converse lovers.  I know that so many of our SKraftians love Converse shoes including our fam, and they can be a bit pricey especially the fun colorful ones.  Right now at Nike.com you can get the Seasonal Color Converse Shoes for only $25 after code COLOR at checkout!  TIP:  Make sure you create a Nike Plus account (it’s free) to get free shipping.

This is the time of year when many homeschooling families evaluate what they’ve been doing so far in their homeschool. December is a great time to step back, see what’s working, see what’s not working, and maybe add something new to your homeschool! Have you tried online self paced classes yet? They have really been a great thing for our family. My kiddos are able to login to our SKrafty EDU system, head to their bookmarked courses and just do the next thing. I love it. They love it. It’s a win-win situation! They are able to be a bit more independent, but with our optional self-graded quizzes I can also check in to see how they’re doing.

Why Choose SKrafty Self Paced Online Classes?

1) We have many different options. Students can choose classes which require popular textbooks such as Apologia Science, Life of Fred Math, or The Mystery of History and more. Don’t want to use textbooks? That’s ok too because we also have several courses to choose from with no textbook required.

2) Minecraft? Or not? Whether your child is into Minecraft or not they will still benefit from our courses. One of the FUN things we offer is a Minecraft activity for nearly every lesson. The Minecraft activities are a great add-on to the learning experience of the courses and really help to enhance what the students are learning. However, they are totally optional and your students will still learn plenty without them if desired.

3) It’s affordable! For only $12.50 per month you can get access to all of our self-paced classes with a SKrafty EDU Lite Subscription. Our LITE subscription includes our most popular self-paced classes and there are plenty from which to choose!

OR, if you want more you can choose the FULL EDU Subscription for $24.99/month ($12.50 for additional siblings) which includes huge discounts on live and premium classes plus access to RightNow Media which includes more than 20,000 video Bible studies, leadership videos, conference sessions, and resources on parenting, marriage, discipleship, and more, at your fingertips such as Drive Through History, What’s In The Bible, Apologetics resources and more!

4) We’ve got community! Whether it’s a question about a quiz or just a comment about the class content, students can interact with one another and our staff in private groups on our SKrafty EDU site. Want to take it further than the classroom? We also have a moderated online forum for teens, SKraftyTube video site where students can make their own videos, SKrafty clubs, Moderated TeamSpeak, and don’t forget the SKrafty Minecraft server which is heavily moderated and a safer place for homeschoolers to play Minecraft together online.

Have more questions? Please feel free to email support@SKrafty.com with any questions you might have, and we are more than happy to help you get started with our program!

Have you heard of the Disney Circle?  If not, let me tell you about it!  With the Disney Circle you can set all kinds of limits on your kiddo’s electronics time.  You can set limits per app, per person, etc.  You can PAUSE the internet for a certain device or computer!  So, say if you don’t want your kids to access the internet on their tablets, computers after a certain time, during school time, etc. you can just hit the pause button.  It is super easy! There are also filters you can set per child as well.  My kids aren’t so crazy about the Disney Circle, but we love it!

Why am I telling you all this right now?  It’s because Amazon has the Disney Circle on sale for HALF PRICE today.  It is only good for 2 more hours so if you want to get one now’s the time!  Click the link below to grab it:
