Dr. Seuss’ birthday is on Saturday March 2 and since my boys are loving the Lorax right now I thought it was the perfect time to celebrate. We made Truffula tree pencils today and they turned out so cute that I thought I would share. It also takes less than 20 minutes, and most of...
I’m a Cub Scout Den leader and this month in we have been talking about resourcefulness. One week we made robots out of recycled materials to decorate for our Blue and Gold Banquet. They were really easy to make, we just used a glue gun to hold everything together. My boys had a lot of...
Have any of you discovered the Harlem Shake meme? It’s a 30 second video that begins with one person (usually wearing a mask or helmet) dancing to the song, “Harlem Shake” by Baauer. The first person dances to the song alone for 15 seconds, surrounded by people not paying attention. When the bass drops the...
We love dance parties at my house. They are a great way to get some wiggles out or get some exercise when it’s cold outside. It’s also a great activity when my kids are complaining that there is nothing to do. The best part is my husband and I love them just as much as...
I love celebrating holidays, and not just the big ones. I love days like Groundhog Day because it’s a great excuse to add some fun to a regular day, and besides, celebrating holidays with kids makes them 10 times more fun. Here are a few fun things we did last year for Groundhog Day. We...
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, so I thought I would share a few easy and fun activities to do with your kids on that day. Last year we started our Valentine’s Day with breakfast. We had red waffles, and fruit cut with heart cookie cutters. Oh, and strawberry milk, of course. They thought it was...
Oh what to do in the wintertime? I don’t mind winter. I actually love it. But The temperatures in these parts have been hovering in the single digits. That goes beyond snow, or ice, or shoveling, or even coats. That enters the world of pure torture. With lots of small children, we have had to...
I have been babysitting a little girl for the past few days. The first day she arrived I realized we don’t have very many girl toys so I decided to make some noodle necklaces. This is a fun activity for boys and girls and it is so easy to do. I only had one shape...
On days that are cold or rainy I’ll make a batch of play dough for my kids and they LOVE it. It’s easy to make, it takes less than 10 minutes, and my kids play with it for hours. I have been using this play dough recipe for years and it is by far the...
I am a big fan of Christmas, and really, who isn’t. But since I have had kids I get into the holiday WAY more. I don’t have to beg my husband quite so much to enjoy the little things with me because my kids are so into it! Each year I will check the local...

So so cute.
Last year we built a snowman/gack and played ring the gack. My son still talks about it so I guess we will be doing it again this year. I am also planning on making a Wocket in a pocket.
I love the gack idea! I guess that’s one good reason to have snow on the ground in March. 🙂
Melissa, these truffula tree pencils made me smile! LOVE how you made them. I need to pin this now for future reference. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂
