Bubbles are often a hit with children and I have yet to meet a child that didn’t love bubbles. For this reason alone, bubble painting is often a big hit with kids and there are a number of ways to do bubble painting.

One of the best activities that I have ever done in my class is ice cube painting. It is fast, fun and children can do a lot of things with the experience. It is a perfect craft for those hot summers when you want to do something creative while providing kids with a cooler activity. [...]

I love, I mean LOVE, Paper Mache but unfortunately, my kids do not feel the same. For some reason, they act like paper mache paste is an acid that once it gets on their skin it will begin to burn. I’m not sure why this is but the same kids that hate the feeling [...]

It has been a while since I did a craft project - not related to a holiday - and it is probably about time that I do one again. This month (since this seems to be an almost monthly occurance) I thought I would do a little write up on tongue painting with children.

You have probably seen these at countless children’s festivals or even in stores. Those nice jars filled with colored sand to create a little 3D art piece. There are actually two ways to make these but I thought I would use the work of art that can be used for a relaxing bath.
What you will [...]
If you can remember far enough back, I wrote both part one and two of this series on Theorists of Child Development. My first post was about Freud and my second was aboutErikson. Today, I am going to take us closer to the end of this series and discuss Piaget. If you are not sure [...]
Today it was official, we took down the pool so it has to be the last day of summer. Okay, maybe the last day of summer is officially on September 21st and the last day of summer vacation isn’t until Monday but you can definitely feel the days winding down into a new schedule.
Already my [...]
It’s probably a little early to be dreaming about snow but with the muggy weather I had today, I’m almost ready for winter. Well, almost ready…okay, not really, but the thought of winter made me think that it would be an excellent time to share my recipe for Whipped Snow.
This is a fun little recipe [...]
Welcome to part two of buying a layette for your baby. If you have been with me for a while, you will probably remember the first post about buying a layette. I know that usually this is just one article but since I am writing a few points about every item, I decided to break [...]
It has been a while since I wrote a cheat sheet for That Parent Place so I figured it was time to do so again. Right now, I am the proud snail-sitter of about 10 snails. They will be going back into a nice spot in my yard very soon, not the garden where they [...]
