Paint Chip Rainbow Mosaics. We happened upon the stand at our local store right when they were changing out the brands of paint chips – we have several hundred chips just waiting for a fun project like this one!!
I played the game “pick-up-sticks” when I was a kid! This is a great way to help your kids work on fine motor skills – definitely check out the rest of Creativity my Passion’s site, she has tons of learning activities.
Want to see what someone’s sensory tub looks like? I love gleaning inspiration from others. Living at the Whitehead Zoo has a lot of great “tub” ideas – like adding feathers and Styrofoam.
My daughter loves bananas and is learning to read – I love the idea of writing her a secret message on bananas. Thanks Laura at Come Together Kids for this simple idea!
Tape, tape, tape! What kiddo doesn’t love a roll of the sticky stuff? No Such Thing as Bad Weather had a great time with her kids and rolls and rolls of masking tape!
Are you missing the bubble wands in your bottles? Or making homemade solution and looking for a “wand”? Mom and a Kiddo made bubble wands out of pipecleaners and beads.
