We have officially entered the season where my daughter expects to do a different Christmas craft everyday! Parts of that are so fun, but other parts make it hard. I can’t come up with my own crafts everyday! I have rounded up a bunch of adorable kid crafts and activities that are going to keep us busy all holiday season!
There are so many great ideas! [Read more…]
This is the first year that I will be helping out with a Halloween classroom party as a mom. I have helped with several in the past for my husband’s classroom, but I am excited to plan one for my daughter’s classroom. I have found so many fun Halloween classroom party ideas and I wanted to share them with you!
I always look forward to seeing what magic Disney Pixar will create with their movies. When I first started seeing previews for COCO, I was honestly a little hesitant. I wasn’t sure how a movie about dead people would be for kids. I had faith that Disney Pixar would turn it into something heartwarming and that it would be loved just as much as every one of their movies has been. When we went to a movie recently, I saw a new trailer for COCO and I knew that I my suspicions were correct in that it would be a heartwarming film that my family would enjoy. [Read more…]
Kids love bath bombs just as much as adults do! There just aren’t that many “fun” DIY bath bomb options out there for kids. So to get in the Halloween spirit, I made these darling monster bath bombs! They would be really fun to give out at a Halloween party, but they are also something that you could make any time of the year.
To make these monster bath bombs, you need… [Read more…]
We have loved Mickey and the Roaster Racers literally since the very first episode aired. That is why I am so excited to have Disney Junior sponsoring this post! My daughter loves that all of her favorite Mickey Mouse characters are on a new show and loves each of their cars. She has actually learned quite a bit about geography as the Roadster Racers travel the world for their races on each episode. I really like the Happy Helpers segments with Minnie and Daisy. They show Minnie and Daisy as they help different people in various situations as they learn new skills along the way. It inspired me to create a little Happy Helpers service project race for kids to participate in!
I love the idea of teaching children to perform acts of service, without any rewards attached to them. If they are treating it like a race based off of one of their favorite shows, it makes it even more enjoyable! I wanted to make each service activity something that could be done by a variety of ages and made it a printable list so you can easily print it and get serving! [Read more…]
We are big Disney Junior fans at our house. I think I enjoy watching the shows on there as much as my 5 year old does! That is why we are so honored to have Disney Junior sponsoring this post. We have our favorite shows set to record on our TV so that we can watch them together. Our TV has a busy day of recording on Fridays because of Disney Junior‘s FRiYAY morning schedule this summer on the Disney Channel. There is a new episode that premieres each Friday and we look forward to catching all of our favorite shows that way.
One of our favorite shows to watch together is Elena of Avalor. My daughter loves that the show is full of adventure and she loves Elena’s dresses, while I love that the show teaches great values. I really like that Elena had the opportunity to rule the kingdom on her own, but she chooses to have a council to help her. It teaches that no matter how big of responsibilities you might have, you can always surround yourself with good friends to help support you along the way!
We have recently discovered the art of making slime and thought it would be fun to make an Elena of Avalor themed slime! [Read more…]
We played with the Playskool Sesame Street Play All Day Elmo toy as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. #PLAYSKOOLCREW
Christmas is just around the corner and it is time to start thinking seriously about what gifts you are going to be giving this year! My daughter has loved Elmo since she barely turned one. She had an Elmo themed birthday party and was even Elmo for her second Halloween!
Needless to say, we were pretty excited when we saw the new Playskool Sesame Street Play All Day Elmo toy that was recently released!
Kids can’t wait for summer to be here, but once it comes the only thing that seems to come out of their mouth is how bored they are! This can be so frustrating for moms! Even with friends over, kids can have a difficult time coming up with activities to do. Here are five awesome outdoor games that my husband used to play with his students when he taught 6th grade. He used these games in his P.E. class and his students loved them! These games would be great activities at a family reunion too!
We played these sidewalk chalk games and had fun in the sun with Banana Boat as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #BestSummerEver
5 Awesome Sidewalk Chalk Activities
Last week we were freezing, getting huge amounts of rain. This week has been crazy hot! That is what the weather likes to do to us in Idaho. As soon as the sun comes out, we all want to be outside! We have the sweetest neighbor kids who like to come over and play with my daughter and I wanted to come up with some fun sidewalk chalk activities that they could all play together and that the parents could even get involved in! Here are 5 sidewalk chalk activities that will keep your family busy this summer!
Sometimes I question why I live in Idaho. That usually happens during the winter when I freeze 90% of the day. Now that my daughter is old enough to understand the fun that can come with snow, she wants to go outside all of the time! The problem is that I don’t always want to get all bundled up and freezing! Instead of feeling like a failure as a parent, I like to come up with fun activities that we can do in the house so we an stay nice and cozy. This puffy paint snowman kid craft has been a major lifesaver! She loves playing with the puffy paint and she feels like she is still building a snowman. Of course she named her girl snowman “Olaf” too. So, what do you say? Do you want to paint an Olaf? Do you want to build a snowman?
It is a quick and easy craft that kids of many different ages can enjoy and the best part is that you don’t have to get all bundled up to build this snowman!
To make your own, you need… [Read more…]
