I came up with the idea for egg shell art because one of the eggs we boiled for Easter eggs cracked during the cooking phase. Throw it out?! No way. I gave that egg a second life (well, third—I ate the boiled egg for lunch) as Egg Shell Art. This is a great craft for pre-schoolers.
This is my favourite gift that my kids can make by themselves. Little mess, easy to make, and a lovely present for teachers, caregivers, grandparents . . . or even me! Cinnamon clay brings the festive scent of cinnamon and the fun activity of playing with clay to a whole new level.
This recipe makes enough dough for your kids to make holiday decorations for everyone on their gift-giving list:
It is no secret, I love crafting. My girls (the big kids) also love crafting. It is a creative and productive activity. Any birthday party we host, a craft activity is part of the entertainment and you will take that craft home in the loot bag! This week's dream catcher DIY craft re-purposes things around the house, making it both creative and eco-friendly. Easy and unique—this craft is gift-worthy.
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.
O Canada! Let's stand on guard for thee and fill our holiday weekend with fun Canada Day themed activities for the whole family. Ready. Set. Time to get your Canuck on!
Find Canada on a globe (or map). What country is it on top of? What water is beside it? If you were to travel from France to Canada how would you go?
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!
Don't you ever wish you could freeze a delicious family moment in time? Tuck that newborn smile in your pocket and save it for a rainy day? Upon the occasion of Valentine's Day I have some ideas to treasure the family luv forever...and do it for free.
This is a great activity to re-purpose all those broken, unloved crayons every family has in their art closet. And having done it as a rainy-day activity myself with my kids - I have the dos and don'ts for...making recycled crayons.
