A real mom sharing real expereinces!
My house was visited by the flu last week and let me tell you, that was a rough few days. Towards the end of the week I had a whole houseful of little people who still didn't feel good but were sick of just laying around. I got all excited and got out the items we would need for this craft and it was met with ho-hum enthusiasm at best. Usually my kids love to cut, color and give stuff away but … [Read more...]
For our project this week I chose to do a really fun science experiment using items I already had. My little man loves to get dirty and be hands on so creating a volcano and watching it erupt sounded perfect. I took ideas from books but altered it to be something a 3 year old can do. So put on those old clothes and grab some items from your kitchen and have a BLAST! Supplies: Baking … [Read more...]
It's January....it's cold outside here, the weather is almost always wet and there just isn't a lot of outside play time. We have to make our own fun during this dreary month.

What You Will … [Read more...]

But that means that changes are now in effect. What does that mean for you and … [Read more...]

Pudding and Cereal Tic Tac Toe: Supplies: Pudding (We had chocolate but any will work) Cereal for the x and o. … [Read more...]
When I was little, my grandma had an ornament on her tree that was kind of like this and I always loved it. It had sequins glued on it instead of buttons, but I was digging through my stash of sewing things and found these cute red buttons and knew they would be perfect for this craft. My girls and I sat down, cranked up the Christmas music and spent a cosy afternoon crafting these … [Read more...]
Now that the long Thanksgiving weekend is over, Christmas becomes our new focus. Many people I know got their tree this weekend, so I though a fun Christmas tree decoration post would be a great idea for this week! With a few simple supplies that you probably already have around the house, you can make popcorn garland to adorn your tree. This really is a craft for the whole … [Read more...]
I try to incorporate at least one sensory building activity each week. This week we used items from the kitchen to have so messy outdoor fun! This is an easy experiment for kids at home! This is a fizzy experiment that is a joy to watch, smell and feel. Items needed: White Vinegar Baking Soda (not powder) cups and dish food Coloring if desired dropper or spoon (medicine dropper … [Read more...]
There are so many fun nature crafts you can do with kids including painting with acorns! Being crafty with items from nature is so much fun for kids and adults! It is just turning fall in our area and the leaves and acorns are all over the place. This morning to help with my son's energy we went for a walk to collect items for a fall sensory bin. We came home with more acorns than we needed so … [Read more...]
