Don’t forget the scavenger hunt

We are always trying to find new ways to entertain our kids.  If you are like me, you have more toys than you know what to do with them.  Where do you put them?  The kicker is that they don’t even play with probably half of them.  Well, here is a fun little game that […]

Free homework help for Mother’s Day

So I was watching Fox News this morning and saw a great little segment on hi tech Mother’s Day gifts.  But at the end, they threw in there that Tutor has free homework help on Mother’s Day.  I am sure this would be really helpful for some of you moms out there.  Especially for those […]

Easy Christmas Craft for the Kids

If you’re like me, you’re looking for cute and easy projects for the kids.  For this one, I bought some of the shatterproof bulb ornaments.  I painted the kid’s fingertip with white paint to make a snowman and the snow.  Then I used a fine tip paint brush to add the eyes, nose, and buttons.  […]

Homemade play dough

I am sure you enjoy  play time with your kids.  I know I do, I just don’t take the time to do it enough.  But when I do, I like to put cling wrap on the table or paper towels taped together on the floor to let Turkey Butt play with her play dough.  Here […]

Homemade Slime

Remember when we were kids and we used to sit at the kitchen table and play with slime?  Nickelodeon does it to a much greater extent but it’s still fun none the less.  But have you priced it at the store lately?  And then once you play with it, it gets filthy!  YUCK!

Free children’s entertainment

My daughter is supposed to sing with her Sunday School class on Sunday in front of the church.  I am interested to see if she actually gets up there and sings.  I have a great and free website for music for anyone to sing.  They have great songs that have motions you can learn to […]

Children’s Thanksgiving Activities

 

1st turkey - I know this one looks a little funny, but it was done by my daughter when she was only 16 months old.  We made our own patterns for this one.  We just drew the turkey body, cut out some feathers, and that little red gobbler thing under the turkey’s chin.  What is […]

Are you smarter than a preschooler?

I recently got an email asking me if I was smarter than a preschooler. It was confirmed that I wasn’t. Let’s see how you do.

Look carefully at the picture if you are having a hard time.
Preschoolers all over the US were asked which direction the school bus was traveling […]
