Winter outside, fun inside today

It is hard to enjoy this winter weather when 7 months pregnant. I do plan on getting out in the snow to make that snowman once it is a little warmer, but winter time is for crafting in my mind! I did not do anything to special, in fact it did not require any prep work just the table and shaving cream. :) Kids love this stuff and my daughter is no different! I remember having a ton of fun in Kindergarten with shaving cream, practicing writing my letters and numbers and of course shapes! Hope you enjoy the pics, I am bummed I never took a picture of her with the shaving cream on her nose, she was adorable.

Now that she is older we can use the shaving cream because I do not have to worry about her putting it in her mouth, but when she was younger I made frosting and we sure had fun and a sugar high. LOL

This brings back so many fun memories! My mom used to let us do the shaving cream thing on our school desks. It was such a treat and so much fun!!

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray. They are a bit similar but yet different. Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1. Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2. Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well. 3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4. Go have fun!!! This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week. I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general. I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry. I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes. :) Ready, Set, Go! Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly. I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos. Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you. This was a super easy one for those little hands. I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting. The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper. EASY, but they enjoyed it! :) It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge! :) I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
