Give your daughter a cute hairstyle with Braided Curly extensions that she will love!
I love seeing cute hairstyles on little kids, both girls and boys. I’m thankful I can do cool styles for our kids. These curly extensions I did for our daughter was one of her favorites and she looked very cute.
She loves having her hair in two ponytails so that’s the style I went for, but with several smaller braids on each side. The good thing about braiding little girls’ hair is that they can pretty much be anything one desires.

That’s all there is to this style. It turned out too cute and she truly rocked it!

Take less than 5 minutes to whip up some bubbles for your little ones to blow away whether it’s on a hot summer day or anytime!
What’s more fun than blowing bubbles on a Warm Summer day out on the lawn? Well maybe there are more fun things to do but bubble blowing is just a blast for kids. Although I have learned how to make bubbles, I don’t always make them. But when I do, the kids have a blast blowing them to the biggest level they can. There is something about homemade bubbles that make everything seem larger.

Learn how to make a basic slime recipe if your kids love to play with it but you’re tired of spending money on it!
A couple of years ago, making slime was all the rage. Did you & your kids get into it? Slime is so fun to make and so fun for the kids to play with. Not every parent is a fan of it though, because if not controlled, the kids can get it everywhere and on everything in the house – couches, floors, their clothing. Thankfully, our kids have never had problem with keeping slime on the table. I’ve always done a ton of crafts with the kids and we’ve usually done them on a large table (dining or dedicated table for “all things” kids crafting). We’ve even used the kitchen counter and that too was fine. A couple of times, they’ve gotten a little bit on the floor when they let the slime hang and drip down the table, but quickly picked it up once being told.
I’ve seen so many different types of slime recipes which adds all the more to the fun of making and playing with slime. I love that the colors can be different with food coloring and that the kids can add glitter, foam beads, sequins, just whatever cute little items they want to. Also love that slime can be customized according to holidays or seasons.
If you’re a parent who isn’t afraid of slime in your house but have always just bought them because you do not know how to make a basic one, then I’ve got you covered.

Make a sensory bottle to help calm your children after a busy play day or to help calm down high energy kids.
There’s something so satisfying about watching items slowly fall inside a calming jar. They are so, so fun to watch, shake, watch, shake. . . . These sensory bottles are not just good for watching, they offer some health benefits for kids too. Calming bottles are great stress relievers. Kids who are high energy (what kid is not right), or hyper might gain some calming moments when they need too from these bottles.
One of the things I love about these Sensory bottles is that they can be customized to a child’s needs or according to season or theme. In the summer they can be ocean-themed, in the winter they can be winter themed (add snowflakes), in the Spring, think insect-shaped sequins such as butterflies. You can also, use beads, rocks and just little filler items that ca be used to make crafts. So fun!
I made two versions, ocean and glitter.

How fun is this jar? It is so satisfying to watch. The kids can shake and watch the sequins fall down whenever they need a little “calm down” break.

Mix Baking Soda with Vinegar and watch your little one’s expression as they experience the magic of the foaming and fizzing action.
I first saw the idea of doing this with kids somewhere on Pinterest. I thought “why not just try it with our little one?” This activity is not new to me but it is to our toddler and it fascinates her. It sure did. This is our second time doing this activity. Her expression the first time we made it was priceless. However, I think I may have deleted that photo.
You need:
Directions:
Add to food coloring to the baking sod and vinegar experiment for a really cool experience. We decided to get creative and do a few different colors all at once. My daughter and I poured into a different jar at the same time. The second photo below shows when the fizzing stops and all the bubbles just seem to melt away:(
Be sure and add enough baking soda and vinegar so it can rise all the way to the top. When the foaming action stops you can add a more vinegar to the solution. It may foam up again. You can also add more baking soda and keep experimenting.

Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment is such a fun activity for children. Have your tried it with your little ones before? What was their reaction?
Mix up some of this edible flour paint and let your little ones go wild painting!
We first made Puffy Paint when my first child was a wee little toddler (say around 2 yrs old). Edible Puffy sort of a bubble looking paint that’s made from two staple ingredients from the pantry – All-Purpose Flour and table salt. You probably have those two ingredients sitting around somewhere unless you like me, and occasionally runs out of flour:) I got to say though, that lately, I’ve learned a little buying flour trick. Basically, when I go the grocery, I just grab a bag, haha. JK – but I have been a little more intentional when it comes to buying flour. I currently have a large 25lb bag plus a few smaller ones. No running out of All-Purpose flour for a long time! But anyways, if you got flour and salt, you have puffy paint. Add a little water, and you’re good to go. Food coloring is optional but oh so fun! A few year ago (about 5ish), I started using Pink Himalayan Salt in our meals and recipes instead of regular table salt. Game changer – not only for health but the taste is so much more potent! But I do keep table salt for Kid-Friendly activities such as Puffy Paint and Play dough.
Adding food coloring is a great way to make puffy paint look like real paint. The pastel colors I used worked fabulous! They looked so pretty.
You’ll Need:
What to do:
Pour the paint into piping bottles. The kids can now paint using the piping bottles by squeezing paint unto their paper.
Note: Always layer your table with protective paper so paint won’t get everywhere. You’ll save yourself from the extra cleaning, is all I’m saying.

Make Moon Sand with Cornstarch as a Sensory Activity your little ones can play with at home.
Cornstarch Moon-Sand is a damp-ish sand made from play sand and cornstarch that’s used to mimic real wet sand that the kids can play with. Mix some up in a bin, add some sand toys and let the kids go to play. They can scoop, pour, and build castles. Let their little imagination run wild.
Moon Sand is a slightly wet sand while Kinetic sand is more of a stretchy sand. Both are made for kids playtime.

Watering Plants is an easy and fun activity for small kids. They’ll be doing a chore and won’t even know it:)
Watering plants is such an easy chore for toddlers and kids. Spring and summer time when you bring out all the plants you will have a little helper on and. It helps them to:
If the kids help you plant some seeds, they will be even more excited to water them so they could grow.

This was a little ice-cream social we did at the beginning of the school year. It was supposed to be a summer party that we didn’t get around to. 🍦🍨 And we tried Disney on our new projector because we didn’t decide on a movie by the time we got the projector to work:)
