Bento Box Ideas for Kids

Oh, school lunches. I want them to be super nutritious and at least little bit different each day…  And it’s a definite bonus if they’re simple and quick to make!  But most of all, I just want to know that Miss G is going to like them and eat them and not come home at… Read More

Little Blue Truck Play Dough Kit

Two of my favourite things?  Kid’s books and play dough kits…  So a book-inspired play dough kit??  Oh my gosh…  A match made in heaven!!  We made this Little Blue Truck play dough kit last year when all of the Little Blue Truck books were on heavy rotation in our house and it was such… Read More

Unicorn Play Dough Kit

I feel like we’re re-entering a time of play dough kits and I won’t lie – I’m oh so excited about it!  When Miss G was a toddler, we had a minimum of four different play dough kits on our shelf at all times, we swapped them out for new ones each season, and they… Read More

Witch’s Brew Play Dough Kit

Oh how I love putting together play dough kits!  After years and years of them being one of our play staples {as well as our go-to homemade gift}, Miss G sort of moved onto really loving other types of play around the time Sam was born {#sadday}.  Then when Sam was finally ready for it,… Read More

Create Your Own Peg Doll Family Kit

This summer, just before we left Vancouver for good, we were lucky enough to sneak in a birthday party for one of Miss G’s special little friends.  We had been swamped with the move and we were living with next to nothing and sleeping on foams by the time we got around to putting together… Read More

Snowman Play Dough Kit

Miss G and I had so much fun with our gingerbread people and christmas tree play dough kits over the holidays that I figured we’d better sneak one more winter themed kit in before spring arrives.  This one, a snowman play dough kit, has become a yearly occurence in our house.  We’ve even made mini… Read More

Butterfly World Play Dough Kit

With spring now in full force, it was time for a new addition to our ongoing play dough kit collection.  Though my first thought was to put together a spring garden set, we’ve made several very similar kits in the past and our garden set got a ton of play last spring, so I figured… Read More

St. Patrick’s Day Play Dough Kit

It’s been a long while since we put together our last play dough kit, so this week I finally made time to create a new one!  And since I have a very hard time resisting anything rainbow, this time around we went with a St. Patrick’s Day play dough kit.

Valentine’s Card Creation Station

Each year about a week or so before Valentine’s Day, I set out a Valentine’s card creation station for Miss G.  It changes a little bit year to year and the supplies have matured with her somewhat over the years {the valentine’s creative table she enjoyed at 2.5 can be seen here}, but overall the… Read More

‘Mix It Up!’ Colour Exploration Kit

Yesterday, as Miss G and I were reading two of our favourite Hervé Tullet books {Press Here and Mix It Up!}, I was suddenly reminded of the fun colour exploration kit we put together months ago for one of Grae’s little friends.  It was nearing the end of our time in Kuwait, so things were… Read More

Dinosaur Play Dough Kit

A couple of weeks back, Miss G and I put together a fall-themed play dough kit, and it’s been getting a ton of use ever since. {Some of Grae’s dolls even got deliciously scented dresses early one weekend morning – hah!}  It goes without saying that we love play dough kits, so we usually keep… Read More

Star Wars Play Dough Kit

Admittedly, neither Brad nor I are huge Star Wars fans…  But Miss G?  Well she’s recently become one thanks to this Cosmic Kids Yoga video. {Hah!}  So when she heard that the birthday party we’d been invited to this weekend was Star Wars-themed, she was absolutely thrilled.  Of course, when I asked what she’d like… Read More

Fall Play Dough Kit

As usual in our house, a new season means new play dough kits, and what better way to start off fall than with a fall-themed play dough kit?!  Grae and I have been collecting little odd and ends for this one for the last couple of weeks, so we were really excited to finally put it… Read More

Princess Play Dough Kit

Today was Miss G’s first birthday party back in Canada and she was thrilled that a) it meant she got to finally see one of the friends she’s missed terribly while away, b) that it was princess-themed and involved art, and c) that it gave us the perfect excuse to create a ‘princessy’ gift.
