Hello Spring!! I am so excited that it is finally starting to warm up outside! To celebrate I wanted to do some gardening with Lola... So we put together this edible sensory bin.

It was easy to put together and I found most of my supplies from the dollar store.

  • Small pots

  • Gummy worms 
  • Plastic container 

Directions: 

  1. Spread a thin layer of frosting on the bottom of the container

    2. Add gummy worms to frosting 

    3. Blend chocolate cereal to create edible dirt
    4. Add edible dirt to container 
    5. Add in pots, flowers and anything else you want!
    6. Take it outside and have fun!!









Mess Free Golf Ball Painting

February 27, 2021

 

What do you get when you add two golf balls and add paint? Believe it or not some beautiful and baby friendly art. Lola and I had a blast doing this today. I guess one-year-olds can create some beautiful art lol. It was really easy and Lola had fun doing it because of the noises and stimulation. 


Supplies Needed: 

  • Non-toxic paints 
  • Paper or canvas 
  • Tape 
  • 2 golf balls 
  • A lidded container, preferably with a clear top 

Directions: 

  1. Tape the paper to the bottom of your lidded container

  2. Add small amounts of paint on the paper
  3. Add your golf balls
  4. Close the container and add tape to make it secure

  5. Shake the container to help your baby understand and show them the noises the ball makes inside
  6. Enjoy your baby's masterpiece! 

Optional: 

  • I cut out a heart shape on pasteboard and taped it down to our paper. This made the heart stay white when we were finished with the painting. This is optional... you could also do different shapes or letters.
