Great for a valentine's card. First cut out a heart shape, then lay it on black paper and using chalk go around it. Lift the heart and done. We went around the heart with our finger but you do not have too. Looks good either way.
Fun activity for any baby or toddler who loves to pull wipes out of the container! We replace the wipes with some fabric scraps, and let my toddler have fun pulling them all out and putting them all back in. It helps them work on fine motor skills, but also is a sensory activity with the different textures of fabric.
simple and easy!~ First using glue let ur kid/kids have fu nand make picture on a piece of paper. Then go over the glue with salt. Once all glue is covered, turn the paper over to get rid of the extra salt. Let dry. Once dry use either watercolors or water that has food coloring in it and paint over the salt. Watch as the salt changes color, you can even try mixing colors on the salt!
To make the fabric heart~ First cut out how many hearts you want, making the next one smaller then the one before. (we did 4 different size hearts) Then sew them together. (we went straight down the middle) Last glue the heart to the card and finish decorating the card! Done!
Cutting out in all forms helps young children to develop their fine motor skills - and it's fun, too! recipie for lemon play dough~ 2 1/2 cups of flour 1/2 cup of salt 3 tablespoons of cooking oil 1 1/2 cups of hot water yellow food coloring and little bit of lemon juice mix note- if to sticky add more flour Also use any scissors that work for our kid/kids. My daughter has mastered using "kiddy" scissors so with a watchful eye we moved on to "adult" scissors .
steps- First paint a piece of bubble wrap in any way you want. Then place a piece of white paper over the paint and bubble wrap and press down lightly. Remove the paper and let dry. Simple and fun craft project any age can do!
In a bowl mix~ half roll of toilet paper, one bar of ivory soap (grated or you can do the ivory soap experiment and use it that way.) and about 3 cups of glow water. (glow water is just water that you place a highlighter felt in and let it soak.) Once mixed you are done, use a black li ght to make it glow and just let ur kid/kids have fun playing!
Take a chunk of ivory soap on a paper plate and put it in the microwave for 60 seconds. Gather around the microwave and watch what happens. Be ready with more than 1 piece because you will want to see it again! So cool! let cool for couple mins before kids play!

Very easy all you need is flour, frosting and sugar. Mix in a bowl 3 tablesppons full of frosting, 1 cup of flour, and 1/4 cup of sugar. note if to sticky add more flour if it crumbles to easy add more frosting. This moon sand should hold i ts shape when press into a mold. Smells great and is great for sensory play. note- to make it a larning game. Make different kinds of edible moon sand using different frostings then have ur child guess the different flavors.

Other ways of making party paint~ can add some kool aid (from a pack)Only add little though as kool aid may stain. Can also add what ever you would like. More glitter if your child likes glitter, confetti, even craft sequins looks nice.
We have made foam before using dish soap,(recipie for regular foam https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=577129555662638&set=a.531287853580142.1073741846.439754472733481&type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ash3% 2F561895_577129555662638_87567602_n.jpg&size=960%2C720 ) it was a big hit. So this time we changed things up some. I used different kinds of shampoo for different smells, again adding some water to a bowl then shampoo then what ever food coloring you would like and using a handmixer to make the foam. Then scooping the foam out and palcing it in another bowl to be played with. We also added glitter in for fun. Other ways you can make secented foam~ use dish soap instead of shampoo and add different extracts or spices. Both work nice.
