DIY Bubble Fun

You can still have Bubble Fun even when you forget to buy bubbles from the store. How do you ask? By using a few ingredients from home.

DIY bubble solution

Ingredients
• Warm water
• Dish soap
• Vegetable oil
* Use 4 tablespoons of dish soap for each cup of water.

Directions
1.Take the warm and put it in a container that fits your wands you are planning to use.

2. Slowly mix in dish soap in water stirring gently. Keep stirring until dish soap is completely dissolved. Tip *You do not want foam to form so be careful when stirring.

3. Let the solution sit for a few minutes while you make your wands.

4. Once you are ready to play, add 5-6 drops of vegetable oil to your mix.

That's it! Have Fun!

Tip* The vegetable oil helps the bubbles last longer so if your bubbles are popping to way to quickly add a few more drops.

DIY wands
You can use many items as bubble wands such as hula hoops for giant bubbles to small bangle bracelets. Here is one more way that will be the kiddos making them their own.

Supplies needed:
• Pipe cleaners
• Beads
• Bubbles (From above)
• Small dish
How to make a bubble wand:
1. Place the two ends of a pipe cleaner together and twist the bottoms together, leaving the top in a circle shape.
2.Start placing beads onto the bottom two pipe cleaner ends and pushing them to the top. You can create any color pattern you would like.
3. Once you fill the wand with beads, fold the end of the pipe cleaner up to hold the beads in place.
4. Fill up a small dish with bubbles and dip the circle end of the wand into the bubbles. Blow on the wand to make bubbles.
Have Fun!

Marshmallow building

Today's activity came from a post in my Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/280632499526226/?ref=shar I picked up the items for 1.00 a piece. So the total cost of this activity is $2.00. My daughter played for hours. Definitely a keeper.

Items needed:
Toothpicks
Marshmallows (Bigger is better but can use small or both)

Give the kids the items and let them go to town creating shapes and structures. For even more fun give them pictures and let them try to recreate them.

Pet Rocks!

I thought today I would share with you all about a project I am currently working on. As many of you don't know I am a published author of children’s books. My current book takes my love of kids crafts and combines the two.
With a show of hands who here had a pet rock growing up? I did. I just wish this book was around to help me. Well, that's not true because then I wouldn't have the pleasure of writing it. Anyways my latest book that will be published later this year is called, ”The Complete Guide for Caring for your Pet Rock”.
This cute book reads like a how-to book for kids with pictures and fun activities for them to complete. They will also get their own birth certificate and after they finish the book they will have their Rock training certificate.
Do your kids have pet rocks? What a fun project this would make for you and your kids and their new special friend.

Summer Fun Planned

Summer is coming! What are your plans with your kiddos? I have lots of fun activities planned. I am going to share my June Summer schedule with you all. Other local moms and I get together with our kiddos each week to do a fun craft and activities. This is our schedule. I will be posting each weeks activities as well as links to the projects that are available. I hope this inspires you.

Week 1:

What a way to kick off summer but with a cook out. We will be having a potluck and will be decorating t shirts and backpacks that the kids will be able to use all summer. We will also be giving the kids water bottles and composition books to use as journals during the summer. The shirt link is http://www.aestheticnest.com/2012/06/craft-scribble-initial-t-shirt-tutorial.html?m=1 and I am doing the same method for the bag. I found shirts for kids here: https://www.jiffyshirts.com/gildan-G500B.html?ac= White the drawstring bags here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M27ZJ7S/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=AFCYYTCRN34IH&psc=1

Week 2:

This week we are planning two days.

We are going to a local park for a fun and easy day! We will play kickball. Which I will get the ball and plates from dollartree.

What’s more fun than working your way through a obstacle course? Watching the kiddos go through. We are going to be doing hurdles, noodle throw, balance beam, balloon walk, and bean bag toss. This is the links for some of the games https://pin.it/nnlo3qtic2wfc4, https://pin.it/vsy3ylqb6yufty.

Bike Maze

          The kids will have fun going through the bike course as they learn about bike safety. The kids will also get to make a license plate for their bikes and when they complete the day they will be awarded with their very own bike license. This is the link for the plates https://pin.it/j6n6nacyrvthrj

Week 3:

With a scavengers list in hand we will enjoy a fun day at the local wilderness center. We will also be giving the kids a pet rock. Everyone needs a pet rock and we have rocks that needs good homes. The kids will pick their rock, decorate it and it’s home. Than we will have birth certificates for them to name them.

Community Garden

 We will be meeting at a local community garden and the kids will get to explore the garden and learn why it’s important.

 After the gardens we will be doing food scrap plantings. Did you know you grow new food from scraps? This fun project will help this kids start their own scrap growing garden. We will be using carrot heads but there is many scraps you can use. https://pin.it/lzqm47mwzxx7o7 This is the link for a our scavenger hunt list

Craft Box

I thought for my first post I would share with you all what got me into blogging. It started with my daughter wanting to join a monthly crafting club.But I couldn't justify the cost and decided to make my own. I shared my box on Facebook and after a huge response, I was wasn't prepared for and with encouragement from friends, I started a Facebook group to help other moms and dads encourage their children to create, explore, and imagine. https://www.facebook.com/groups/280632499526226/?ref=share  Below is the first box I created for April. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to learning from you all as well and excited to see our childrens minds grow!

This is the box that started it all. 

Included in the box:

Welcome letter

Markers

Glitter crayons

Birdfeeder

Birdhouse

Butterfly windchimes
