Frozen Water Balloons and Salt- Fun Science

   Why not take the opportunity to freeze some water balloons with this constant Polar Vortex!! We first put a couple drops of food coloring in each balloon and filled it with water.  Then we set them outside for a few hours.   We have done this in the past and had fun watching the sun hit the pretty ice sculptors.  Check that post out here! This time we did not go outside to play... the windchill is to bitter.   This time we watched the reaction between ice and salt.  They were eager and ready to watch the fun! The ice melts when salt is put on it.   My children had fun pouring salt on and watching it create holes in the ice.  This is a great experiment that allows for fun creative responses.   We took it a step further.  Once the salt made holes we put some finger lights in the ice to create a whole new exciting topic to discuss.

VeggieTales- King George and His Duckies -Book Review

Description of Book:   A Lesson in Being Selfless King George learns that being selfish doesn’t pay. Taking things from others doesn’t make him happy. So King George decides to give all his duckies away! Just like king George, kids will learn that sharing with others is a true lesson in love. My Review: I was given a copy of this book to conduct a review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.   I am a huge fan of books that will teach a moral lesson that aligns with my faith.  Loving others is our greatest commandment and this book teaches it.   My kids seemed to love this book and could relate to the duckies since they have a couple themselves.  My kids also did clean there rooms out before Christmas to donate some of their toys and were able to make that connection in the story.   This book also includes Veggietale stickers and my kids have enjoyed using them in their artwork.   Pick up your...

Real-Working Cash Register from Lakeshore Learning- Review

Thank you Lakeshore Learning for sending me this cash register to review.  All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review. About the cash register:  Reinforce real-world math skills...with a cash register that really works! The built-in calculator and digital display let kids add, subtract, multiply and divide as they ring up purchases! The cash drawer even pops open so children can figure out the correct change! 10 1/2" cash register has a large, solar-powered digital display; includes a “credit card” and play money.  This item is sold for $34.99.   Imagination play is one of the best types of play and it is one area I am always encouraging my children in.   With technology everywhere children are starting to hop on board and ask for the Ipad or tablet before playing with their room full of toys.   My kids have loved this cash register from Lakeshore Learning!  They have liked it so much that I have had to enforce a...

Rainbow Loom Key Chains

Do you have a child who got a rainbow loom for Christmas so you have bracelets all over the place?   I had so many bracelets so we decided to turn some bracelets into key chains.   You can find a bulk order of key chains on Amazon or Ebay at affordable prices.   So have fun turning your bracelets into key chains.
