Glow in the Dark Counting Activity for Toddlers
This glow in the dark counting activity for toddlers (and preschoolers too) is a fun twist on a classic learning activity. I’ve been trying to think of new ways to use our black light since it was such a hit with the girls when we did our glowing shaving cream activity. We’ve been doing a […]
Hammering Nails into Pumpkins for Kids
Hammering nails into pumpkins creates unique jack-o-lanterns and is so much fun for kids! We love fall and fall means doing lots of pumpkin themed activities.

Potato Jack O’ Lantern Prints

Our garden yielded an excessive amount […]
