Do you remember making vegetable stamps as a kid? I remember doing it once or twice with potatoes, and I thought my kids would have a good time with them, too. They’re surprisingly easy to make…and the kids loved investigating all the vegetables we used. Any sturdy root vegetable will do — potatoes or beets […]
The Outdoor Christmas Tree
One of our favorite winter nature activities is birdwatching. Maybe it’s because you don’t see as many wild animals out and about in the winter. Maybe it’s because, even when we’re stuck inside on a below-zero day, we can still see them out there, flying about, living their little birdy lives. Whatever the reason, we’re […]
Make These Autumn Suncatchers With Kids This Fall
I don’t want to brag or anything, but we’re about a week or so away from this: I love this time of year. I never get tired of watching the leaves turn all these different colors. And the aspens! They’re my favorite. This time of year is also so much fun with kids. We read […]
Make your own bath paints for hours of fun
My kids love playing with bath paints. They’ll sit in the tubby as long as I let them and paint all over the walls and the bathtub and have a great time. But the paints run out quickly, and they’re kinda pricey…so now we make our own. The paints only take 4 ingredients (and one is […]
Kids Activities: Adventures After Dark
My kids always have a hard time adjusting to summer. Actually, that’s not true. They love summer. They love swimming and hiking and reading and doing kids activities (and playing video games. I won’t lie to you.) They have a hard time, however, understanding why their mother would possibly attempt to put them to bed when […]
5 Ways to Start Now to Prep for Summer Break
This post was sponsored by Blueprint4SummerCO. All opinions are my own. We just returned from Spring Break, and I’m already looking forward to summer. Honestly, sometimes I think I get as excited about summer vacation as the kids do. I love the warmer days. I love the looser bedtimes when everyone migrates outside after dinner […]
Pinecone Angel Christmas Crafts For Kids
When I was in college, my aunt sent me a Christmas care package with two tiny pinecone angels she and her kids made for me. Those little angels followed me all through college, and on to my first apartment. They were so stinking cute. That’s why I like these. They’re Christmas crafts for kids, but […]
Meet the Kindness Elves
I’m really excited to share one of our latest toys with you. Actually, are they toys? Projects? I’m not sure how you’d categorize them. But…look how cute!! These are Kindness Elves. They’re special friends who love sprinkling kindness and joy. And my daughter is in love with them. Her favorite part is the tiny mailbox […]
Cars 3 Activities to Hold You Until the Movie
My kids can’t wait til June. June is my birthday month, but of course no one’s thinking of that (siiiiigh…poooor me…). Because it’s also the release date for Cars 3. And to be fair, my birthday comes every year, but a Cars movie? They’ve been waiting for that for a long time. In the meantime, I […]
How to Make Snow Candy
So it’s been snowing here. From what I hear on the news, it’s snowing everywhere — even Florida, maybe? No? I thought I heard that somewhere. But here in Colorado, it most definitely has been. Don’t let these pictures fool you. Our snowy days are one-quarter loads of fun sledding and laughing and hot cocoa […]
