My daughter Ally, who is almost five years old, used to spend most of her time at the dinner table squirming in her chair. She would switch for sitting on her knees to sitting on her bottom to standing on the floor next to her chair to almost standing on her chair….etc. etc.
Here’s an idea for a fun and easy craft to make with young kids to celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving or any holiday.
My daughter Ally, 4, loves art projects. And lately she’s become interested in what happens when two colors are mixed together.
Recently, my daughter Ally, 4, came home from preschool all excited to show me this amazing thing she’d made that day.
Garage sales are often a favorite of mothers of young children. Where else can you find a My Little Pony for a quarter? A bike for five bucks? Or children’s clothing for a dollar?
I love purses. And I remember a time, before I was a mom, when I could carry teeny tiny purses that were able to hold all of my essentials – lipstick, keys, credit card and cell phone.
This Mom Tip was passed along to me by another mom as a way to use the many, many pictures, drawings and pieces of artwork that our children make at home or at school.
When my daughter Ally turned 3, I thought it would be a good time to start talking about how to use the telephone. So we had her talk on the phone to relatives and she helped us dial when we made a phone call.
For Ally’s second birthday, one of my friends put together one of the best gifts I’ve ever seen. She filled a gift bag with all sorts of art supplies such as glue sticks, paints, safety scissors, crayons, markers, stencils, paper, glitter, pipe cleaners, stickers, etc.
