Keeping Toddlers Busy with Baby Food Caps

If you are looking to reuse some of the items you may have around the house then look no further. This fine motor activity is sure to keep those toddlers busy and entertained for a little while.

I used baby food jar caps and wrote letters on each cap for other letter work with my preschooler but when my toddler showed such an interest in them I found a tupperware container cut a hole and then allowed him to put the caps in the hole.

Who knew that this activity would provide me 30 minutes of uninterrupted cleaning time! Yes, these boys both played with this for 30 minutes! They were also stacking the caps but they had fun putting them in, taking them out, and did a pretty descent job of turn taking!

I know most of you have similar things laying around your house so get get started on making this for your toddler.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.

Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
