Snow Paint

Last year I saw this idea for snow paint on Pinterest, but we were living in California at the time, so I put it in the back of my mind.
Well, since we moved from California I knew I wanted to try this once it snowed.
The first snowfall we had my son REALLY wanted to build a fort.
So that's what we did.
It looks smaller in the picture than it really is...
The next time we went to play in the snow my husband wanted to take my son out to play, so we made some snow paint for them.

It's SO super simple!

Kitchen Utensils and Bubbles

Today I have a super fun, simple and FREE Summer activity for you.

You can't go wrong with that!

A couple of weeks ago my son and I were babysitting and it was pretty hot outside.

I didn't want to take the kids to the park, because I knew they wouldn't last long there, but we needed to get outside.

I looked around their kitchen and found a few objects I thought we could use.

Baking Soda and Vinegar

I found this awesome idea and wanted to try it out with my little guy, he LOVED it!!  He calls this his 'science experiment'.  Great for a rainy day, it kept him occupied for over a 1/2 hour!

What you need:

• a pan of baking soda
• bowls with vinegar 
• food coloring
• and something to squirt out the vinegar.  I used one of those baby medicine syringes.  (see picture further down).

 We took the syringe and pulled up the back to suck up some vinegar, my son then squirted it into the baking soda.  He loved the reaction it made!  It foams up, and then down and turns into this soft feeling almost moon sand texture.
