Parking Pal Magnet Review and Giveaway

The Parking Pal is one of those items that I wish I would have made! You know that kind of product that you see and you say, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Thank-you, Busy Mom Boutique, for sending me the Parking Pal for review. All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.

How many of you have more then one child and while you are getting one child in and out of the vehicle the other one is still outside. I hope you have never had your child run out in front of a car while waiting! It was a long time ago when my daughter was jumping around and jumped far away from our vehicle and I was thankful there were no cars around but it can be a very scary thought!

The parking pal magnet is a simple magnet that you place on your car/truck/van that has a little hand print on it. The child must keep their little hand on the hand-print while they wait. I know some of you are reading this and say, "OK, my child is never going to keep his/her hand on that hand-print." I hear you on that, but we have turned this into a game. First, we talked about why we do it. Second, we talked about how she was being a helper and staying safe and why it is dangerous in a parking lot. Third, we play different games as she is waiting, such as I spy, count the red cars, sing me a song, what day of the week is it and can we sing the days of the week song, and sometimes we just carry on the conversation that we were having because now that we have done it several times it has become routine. :)

The Parking Pal Magnet offers 8 adorable designs so you can find the right one for your child. I have the flowers for my girl and we have also talked about how many green, yellow, purple flowers that can be found on her magnet. :) Shipping on the product was very quick so order today and you will have them as a great Christmas gift! :)

Some other great ideas on how to use your Parking Pal other then your car:
1. Put in on your fridge as a timeout spot
2. Keep one in your purse so when you use a public bathroom you can keep your kids from crawling around the gross floor. (or worse opening the feminine garbage, mine have done this.)

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!
