If you have a paper plate handy, cut it in half. Then cut some white card stock into different size rectangles. If desired, purposely cut them into small, medium, and large rectangles to make this into a math activity that requires sorting prior to placing them on the igloo. Next, grab some blue paint and cover your igloo with it. The wet paint will act as glue when it dries…
When viewing these images, please keep in mind that they’re in reverse order, starting with the final product and ending with the set up. You’ll also notice that there are 2 snowmen even though I only have 1 child. Recently I’ve started joining B in some art projects for multiple reasons: it’s good bonding time, I enjoy it, and we feed off of each other’s…
Months ago I saw this activity on @keep.kids.busy who was kind enough to share this and other activity details with me through DM. Just recently, @iracreativeengine posted her version and I was reminded that I should bump it up on the seemingly endless list of activities that I want to try with B. I am so glad I did, but it comes with a warning. 🚨 This 💯 fun educational…

I remind you of this so you prepare yourselves for oodles of winter themed/Arctic activities involving these little gems. This one in particular was a DIY igloo building activity paired with the book, Sweetest Kulu. In case anyone is impressed with my 3-year-old’s building skills, don’t be. This…
I have tried multiple ways to make snow over the last few months, and none of them have impressed me. So, I decided to try 2 more ways…at the same time. Today we used baking soda and shaving cream for recipe #1 and cornstarch 🌽 and white conditioner for recipe #2 (using tinted conditioner may change the color of your snow). I asked a lot of guiding questions and B…
So because I’ve received two DMs today stating (quite accurately, may I add) that these look like tampons 🤣, let me assure you that they are not. 🙅🏻♀️ They’re actually biodegradable packing peanuts purchased in bulk from Amazon. They sell colored ones which are also wonderful, but since we’re studying winter and the arctic, the white ones made more sense. And if you want to simulate a melting snowman…
