This handprint flower art is a wonderful activity for kids to try – on their own! This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lava® Soap. All opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy. This handprint flower art activity didn’t happen the way that I intended. Because actually, I didn’t plan it at all. It all originated from my son, who one day started painting his hand – even before he had got any paper. I managed to halt his enthusiasm, and with his half-painted hand asked what he wanted to make. He said he needed a large piece of paper. I cut one from a paper roll and ..read more

Celebrate the new season by making some pretty pastel spring slime with the kids!

A time for delicate flowers, and tentative green shoots. So how better to celebrate the start of a new season than by making SLIME? (OK, go with me on this one!) It’s been forEVER since we made slime, which is the real reason behind this week’s play recipe. Usually I make it myself and then hand it over to the kids – but the girls are that much older n ..read more

How cute is this cow handprint?!? It’s a fun art project for kids to try – and I have some clean-up tips for you, too! This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lava Soap. All opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy. If you saw our Paper Plate Cow craft a few weeks ago, you’ll know that F is cow-obsessed right now. And therefore he’s happy – if not keen – to make cow-themed art and crafts projects. And since our last handprint project on the blog was nearly two years ago – I figured it was about time for a new one! The key to successful (aka less messy) handprint a ..read more

The following post contains affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you I can make a tiny bit of money to help support this blog. Thank you! For reasons I won’t bore you with (as they’re related to Minecraft), my son LOVES cows these days. Which is funny to me because almost 6 years ago he had a cow-themed party for his 1st birthday! He asked for a craft the other day and I knew he’d like anything with a cow – and so I decided we should make a cute paper plate cow! To make t ..read more

Have your kids tried painting on ice? It’s such a fun a winter art project! This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lava Soap. All opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy. Painting on ice isn’t a new idea – in fact one of my favorite sites Teaching 2 and 3 Year Olds went viral with it over five years ago! But most recommend using watercolor paints – which of course is understandable with toddlers. But I really wanted to try it with bold acrylic paints, and as my son is 6 – I thought it was worth a try! I set up the activity the night before, by pouring water into ..read more
