What a fun project for a quiet afternoon at home! I heard about this project ages ago from a friend (Hi Manda!) and finally got around to doing it with Lorelai today. The techinique is really, really simple and super fun! Materials We Used: Large Cookie Sheet (one without sides works best!) Shaving Cream Food […]
{ Puffy Paint Recipe }
Puffy Paint, aka Shaving Cream Paint, Fluffy Paint, Cloud Paint, Snow Paint, etc., is a fun twist on traditional painting. It’s so simple to make and LOTS of fun. I love it because it can be used on projects that are all white – polar bears, clouds, snowmen, and today ~ a ghost! So here’s […]
Easy Homemade Paint Recipe
I recently got it in my head to make some homemade paint with Lorelai. So I googled and googled and finally came across this one. It appealed to me immediately because of the short ingredient list, basic supplies that I definitely have on hand, and the simple instructions. Score! Lorelai was cautiously excited about making […]
Glow Painting Activity
I saw a post on Pinterest about glow-in-the-dark bubbles. Supposedly, if you break a glow stick into a container of bubbles, the bubbles that are blown will glow. This did not work for us. I don’t know if our bubbles were too cheap or if they were the wrong kind and didn’t mesh well with […]

{ Homemade Face Paint }
So I’m seeing a pattern in our weeks. We do great with our routine Monday through Wednesday, but come Thursday and Friday, we get busy and have to finish up our plans over the weekend. That’s what happened to us this week. Thursday we went to an awesome storytime at a local bookshop and then […]
Scratch-N-Sniff Watercolor Paint
Today is all about the sense of SMELL! Lorelai did 3 fun craft activities this morning, and this is one of them. I saw an article on E-How about making watercolors with Koolaid packets. I thought it was pretty much genius and when M (my husband) went out last night to run some errands, I […]
