I haven't shared this on the blog before, but my son has a slight speech delay. This is one of the many reasons I've been working on busy bag ideas, as well as toddler friendly crafts. Anything I can do to help get those words out - I'm doing. Besides the busy bag ideas I have shared on the blog, I really want to concentrate on sharing ideas for sensory bin play. I have read & heard that it … [Read more...]
Fly Swatter Painting {Kid Craft}
Now that the weather is getting warmer here in Wyoming {fingers crossed it stays that way} I'm trying to take the crafting outside. I don't know about your child but mine LOVES the outdoors. He definitely gets that from his daddy - not me! If he could, he would stay in our backyard all day {possibly naked cause clothes are not cool apparently} So anyways - last week, it finally got warm … [Read more...]

After reading the story to my son, I decided we needed to make a craft to go along with … [Read more...]
Styrofoam Cup Whale – Kid Craft
The last few days have been HOT HOT HOT in Wyoming! We did, however, get a much needed cool down the other day but I'm still sweating up a storm. Dare I say I'm ready for fall to roll through?! So anyways... recently I have been entertaining {and somewhat hoaxing} lil man with various indoor crafts & enjoying that thing we call an AC. Maybe even eating a few more popsicles than I should. … [Read more...]
Kid Friendly Backyard Car Wash Activity
As with everything in our house, lil man's hands are all over them - literally. There isn't an object I can't touch in the living room that doesn't have a sticky residue. How or when it happens - who knows? All I know is that I have a monthly duty of cleaning it all up. Most of the cleaning I have to do is scrubbing down his toys so we don't attach bugs or get funny looks if we have playdates. … [Read more...]
