Sharing Saturday: Mother's Day Ideas!

By -
Mother's Day is just a week away, and I have six awesome ideas for you to help your preschooler make!  Dads, pay attention!  These can easily be adapted for a grandma or teacher, too!   First of all, is this necklace made from clay beads.  My daughter made this for me when she was three, and it has been very popular ever since!  Just follow the directions for oven-baked clay from your craft store!  And buy the colored clay if you don't want to paint it too!

Now, on to Sharing Saturday!  The following are five ideas from around the internet for Mother's Day!  If you're featured, feel free to grab the button on the sidebar!

These Handprint Flower Aprons at Let's Explore are adorable and would make a wonderful keepsake!  
This Handprint Butterfly Card at Our Daily Obsessions is a great way to preserve your child's hand and share a card full of love! 


This idea for an All About My Mom page at Tip Junkie sounds like so much fun!  It's always memorable to see life from your child's point of view, and you could easily personalize it for your family!


These Flower Wristbands at Fremont Libraries are just the sort of craft my daughter would love to make!  I love how an older preschooler can make them all by herself!



These Handprint Flowers from Mama Laughs are perfect for preschoolers and toddlers--I love crafts that both my kids can do on different levels!  And what mother can resist her children's hands?

I'll post a few more ideas next week.  It's never to early to start celebrating...

Happy Mother's Day!!




I may share at any of these parties!

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment...

Kind Words Sensory Lesson Friendship Activity

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affi...

Crazy Cool Giraffe Science Experiment

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe ...
