Earth Day is coming up and I have been talking to my kids more and more about why we recycle and what we also try to re-use at home.  As you can imagine we re-use many things for projects and activities I write about on the blog. So much so that my son will often hand me his garb

Worms are fun. We dig for real ones in the backyard, make them for lunch ( pasta ones) and even paint with them ( pasta ones again! ). I love this activity because it’s easy, different and with older children you can challenge them to paint specific shapes, or letters using only

Bubble wrap really is uncannily fascinating, isn't it? I don't know that I've ever met anyone who doesn't like popping all those little bubbles. Now Vicky at Mess for Less has come up with a brilliant activity for kids that involves painting, stomping, and bubble wrap. It's a kidtastic trifecta.

I was so excited when I thought up this next play recipe, and it was every bit as cool as I had imagined.  Rosie loves sidewalk chalk in all it's forms.  She also LOVED when we created exploding paint bags.  I experimented with some of the base ingredients from both to see if I c
