COOL WHIP Rainbow Pie

Bryson is following in his dad's footsteps- he loves to cook.  If someone is working in the kitchen, he's right there too.  He'll contentedly sit on the counter stirring whatever is cooking.  I love that about him and I take every opportunity to nurture and encourage his love of cooking.  I'm so proud that my mother-in-law taught my husband how to cook and I want to do the same for my boy. He'll help with any meal, but when I mention the word "rainbow" and "pie" in the same sentence- he … [Read more...]

Edible Finger Paint

Let me start off by saying this edible finger paint recipe came about as a happy accident.  I was trying to create an edible slime recipe with a texture similar to my original homemade slime.  Well, it didn't work.. at all.  In an attempt to save my ingredients from being thrown in the trash, I grabbed a pack of flavored drink mix and voila- I knew in an instant that I had, indeed, saved my project and that the kids were going to LOVE the result.  And they certainly did- see photos at the … [Read more...]

Miss Bella has been feeling left out lately.  It seems like every time we make something, it isn't safe for her to play with because she wants to taste everything. With the homemade slime and the original play dough recipes out, I decided it was time to make something that she could enjoy, something safe, something tasty.  This peanut butter play dough recipe turned out to be perfect for her and I loved that watching sister and brother play together.

Soap Crayons

While browsing Pinterest, I came across these cute soap crayons and decided to give them a try.  The "recipe" calls for items that you probably already have on hand and the process is extremely simple. Whatcha Need: a bar of white soap food colors water cookie cutters, candy molds, or something similar Directions: Grate your bar of soap.  I cut open a Johnson's Buddies soap and used it.  I love the way they smell!  I used my kitchen grater and it worked well.  You need … [Read more...]

DIY Crayons

I've saw versions of these homemade crayons all over blogland and Pinterest.  I finally decided it was time to give them a try myself!  I had some old crayons.  Really old crayons.  They were MY crayons when I was a kid.  Now, I'm not old, but I'm thinking a crayon's years have to be kind of like dog years, so they were OLD.  Anyways, I decided it was time to put them to use and what better way, right!? Homemade Crayon Supplies Crayons Silicone … [Read more...]

Homemade Play Dough

My husband had to work Saturday, so it was just the kids and I.  Bryson asked to play with play dough and since we were still using the homemade play-dough I made back in May, I decided it was time to make another batch.  Because I wanted to make more colors, I made a much larger quantity this time. This is basically the same recipe, just adapted to make about 4x the original recipe.  This play-dough turned out much more silky and smooth than my first batch!  I like the texture more and … [Read more...]
