DIY “Turkey” snack …

November 8, 2012

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and during snack time the other day, I decided to surprise my kiddos with a “turkey” for a snack.  They loved it, and thought it was so fun to “eat” the turkey!

It only takes a few ingredients to put together a “turkey” snack, and the impact on your kids will be huge!  It is a good reminder that kids really don’t need a lot to make them happy.  Maybe a little effort and imagination, and snack time can be a magical time!
Be sure to head on over to my full step by step tutorial on how to make these little turkey’s over on the HelloBee blog!

DIY // salad spinner spider web art …

October 20, 2012

Halloween is almost here!  My children and I wanted to make some fun Halloween art, so we decided to make some spider webs using our salad spinner and paint to throw out some cool webs!
It was a lot of fun for them to make, and they were able to be really hands on during the project, and do pretty much all of it themselves!

 After you gather a few supplies, it really is simple to do!

They loved to spin that salad spinner round, and round and round!
Be sure to check out my full step by step tutorial over on my post for Hellobee!
Happy Halloween!
