My Little Chefs LOVE to paint! Whenever we are painting the house inside or out they want to help. Anytime they see their paints they want to do it NOW. I have a love/hate relationship with paint because it can be so messy with little ones! I always seem to have a little one who makes the biggest mess. I have seen people paint with cars or trucks, but at my house those are not common toys. Then I had an idea! We just went to a case lot sale at a local grocery store and after storing the cans we had some flat boxes that were just bigger then a regular piece of paper. What if we put a piece of paper in the box and then drop small dots of paint on the paper in various colors then add a few … [Read more…]

Last November Little Chef A learned how to weave a scarf at school. She was so proud of her work she gave it to me for Christmas! I thought it was a great craft because she could do it with only one instruction session. I asked if she wanted to make another one to show others how to make it on the blog. She definitely wanted to do this! In fact she was telling me today’s the day, its time to start, its time to take pictures, we need to do this today! So in this post I was doing whatever SHE was instructing ME to do. Easy Weave Scarf Ingredients Two balls of yarn, your choice of style, color and variety 5 straws tape Directions Measure and cut 5 pieces of yarn whatever … [Read more…]

The Snowman Dice Game is a great game that only requires basic and minimal supplies. Little Chef D had such a fun time playing this game! Little Chef H had a great time pretending to play with us as she drew lots of little circles on her paper. At least they were both having fun! Don’t miss the Snowman Dice Game printable at the bottom of this post! The more we played The Snowman Dice Game more details Little Chef D wanted to add. In my key I did not put a flower in the hat like in the movie “Frosty the Snowman” so she fixed that for me! I might just start carrying around dice in my diaper bag to play this game at the doctors office, waiting to pick up other Little Chefs from activities, … [Read more…]

We looked at an online calendar which had a variety of celebrations and holidays. It seemed every day had a list of things we could celebrate. Some were foreign to us, and some sounded like a lot of fun! Today, according to the calendar, is Drinking Straw Day. I remember as a kid I doing an art project for an elementary school competition. I painted a tree trunk, blew paint through a straw for the branches, then added some “flowers” to make it a three dimensional project. I thought I could share this project of my past with my Little Chefs. All four of my Little Chefs had a great time with this project. They each found their own method of blowing through the straw.  It was fun to see … [Read more…]
