This Glitter Pumpkins activity was such a fun project for the girls. I love their excitement for the little crafts we do around the house.  Glitter Pumpkins Note: This post has been updated October 8, 2022 and was first created October 9, 2014, not intentionally with the dates though. My cute little preschooler (then 3.5) and toddler (then 18 months) are now 11 and 9:)

Our little one (who just turned 3 years old last week) loves doing “school” work.  So I created a few Christmas printables to go along with teaching the “Birth of Jesus” story throughout the month of December. They are nothing fancy but she loves circling, coloring, underlining, etc. so I made them for her. (Click here or click on the image to print). I would

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.

This is another fun activity, involving the senses, to do with your toddler. Once again, totally safe and fun! I saw this idea in a kids activity book from the local library. To make: Use a few boxes of different colour gelatin. Follow the instructions to make it on the box except use only half the amount of liquid. Most of them say use 1

Quiet Time Bins Activities My toddler is now 2 and 1/2 years old. Her nap time seems to be pushing further back in the day.

Make these fun Pasta Necklaces and Bracelets with Rigatoni Pasta for a fun Rainy day craft with your kids.  Making pasta necklaces is by far one of our daughter’s favorites, and I think mine, too.
