File this under #travel and #kids—this toddler place mat is super easy to make, and light enough to carry in your diaper bag. It will also make finger feeding a little cleaner.
This week is predicted to be ugly HOT. My baby is ok to play inside, but I kinda get cabin fever. So, I've made a little list of where to take kids on ugly hot days.
The public library. Air conditioned. Free. Great kids section of books, colouring, magazines. They even have reading time drop-ins. And your kids can be kids at the library!
This homemade chalk recipe is not only frugal (it makes a lot), but it's also fun from start to finish, as the kids can help with measuring, stirring, and more.
You will need:
Toilet paper rolls or paper towel tubes
Small bucket
Scissors
Duct tape
¾ cup warm water
1 ½ cups Plaster of Paris (available at craft stores)
