This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been in the mood to plant stuff lately, but it’s still a little too cold outside. So, the kids and I made some toy-ariums the other day! Um yeah, they LOVED it. :) I saw the toy-arium…Read More
I made these cute little bottle for my niece when she turned one. Sensory bottles provide a variety of learning experiences for preschoolers and kids of all ages. They just love them. They are a great little project to make and the kids can get involved. My niece really enjoyed them. She has two older brothers, so there…Read More
This sweet little craft of mail-able hugs was so easy. The kids loved it. (They would honestly put paint-y hand prints on stuff everyday, if I let them.) I ripped this idea out of a Family Fun magazine from a few years ago (pre-Pinterest), and now I can’t find a link. Sorry. Annnyway…… These are…Read More
We had a snow day and some cold temperatures this week. So, the kids and I made these stained ‘glass’ frozen sun catchers. It was a great activity. They really got into it. I love the way they look on our porch. (You can tell kids live here.) And the day after we hung…Read More

The kids and I love making cornstarch clay. If you like to make playdough and are looking for something new to try, you should check out cornstarch clay. It’s super smooth and so texturally inviting. It just begs to be played with. I added glitter, but you could omit that or even add food coloring. It…Read More

They are made out of dollar store microfiber dusting mittens! These hedgehog puppets are seriously so simple. It cost only 3 dollars to make two of them! And it literally…Read More
Sweet Amy has made us these rockin’ printable mailboxes for your little sweeties to keep all their Valentine’s in. All the kiddos (or you) have to do is cut them out and tape them together! The directions are even right on the printable. Thanks so much Amy! I love them. She made a cute Sweetheart…Read More
The kids and I made this fun homemade peppermint play dough last week. They LOVED it. We made two batches. One white and one red. With plenty of glitter! Then we packaged it up and gave it to their classmates at their Christmas parties. It was a fun project and making candy cane play dough…Read More
