Colouring Page Airplane Scavenger Hunt

It’s hard to believe, but in exactly 23 days, we’ll board a plane and begin the long journey back to Canada.  This means that I really should be focused on purging and sorting  our belongings, but I can’t help it – I’m having fun creating little plane packs and travel activities for Miss G and her friends instead. ☺

Heidelberg Bound {2014}

12 / 19 / 141 / 12 / 15

Woohoo!  Christmas vacation is officially here and I couldn’t be more excited.  After much debate, we decided to spend this year’s holidays in Heidelberg, Germany once again {and I’m so glad we did}.  While it’s always nice to see new places, Heidelberg is pretty much perfect for us when it comes to Christmas vacation spots.  Besides being beautiful and very Christmassy this time of year, it’s also quite an affordable European vacation destination.  The weather is cold {just the way we like Christmas to be} but not too cold, the city is friendly and walkable, and rental flats are readily available.  There’s an outdoor skating rink and several small Christmas markets, and you can walk around the city sipping on a warm glühwein day or night.  Need I say more?

We spent most of our day today in transit, and let me say – Miss G is a total trooper.  Not only did she let both Brad and I sleep on the plane for a little bit {while watching part of Frozen, albeit, but hey – sometimes you’ve got to take what you can get}, but she also sat sardined in between bags on a very tightly packed train, transferred to train number two without an issue, and then walked for at least a half hour or so in the rain to our flat {well past her bedtime} while commenting on how walking was really good exercise for your body.  We arrived to our lovely little flat, checked it out, and then promptly put our girl to bed for the night.  We did run into the upstairs neighbours who {very kindly} let us know that they’re having a party tonight, but with any luck, we’ll all get a good sleep and be ready to explore Heidelberg tomorrow morning.  Here’s hoping!

Portable Activity Kit for Little Boys

Portable Activity Kit for Little Boys | Mama Papa Bubba

I feel like Miss G and I have been making homemade gifts like they’re going out of style lately {and I love it}.  This most recent one is exactly like the portable activity kit we gave her little friend Evelyn on her second birthday, only this one contains slightly different activities – things we thought a busy 3 year old would enjoy.  Now obviously the activities included in this kit are not just for boys {in fact, Miss G has already announced that she’d like the activity kit I’m making her to be exactly like this one} – it’s just that we gifted this particular kit to her little friend who happens to be a boy.

Portable Activity Kit for Little Travellers

Portable Activity Kit for Little Travellers | Mama Papa Bubba

Another birthday party means another opportunity for Grae and I to come up with a fun, homemade gift {which we love doing}.  This time around, we decided we’d put together a tinkle trunk filled with fun dress-up costumes and accessories similar to what Grae has in her dress-up station.  We were really excited about the idea until we realized that the birthday girl is headed home to the States just a few days after her party.  A tickle trunk simply wouldn’t do.  After some brainstorming, we opted for something she could bring along on her travels – a portable activity kit!  Our goal was to keep it as compact and lightweight as possible, while cramming in tons of fun {and quiet} things she could explore and play with during her travels.  Here’s what we included…

Funny Face Gracen

Reusable Dry Erase Funny Face Photo Drawings | Mama Papa Bubba

I saw this awesome idea on one of my favourite play blogs, Play at Home Mom LLC, long ago and loved it at first sight.  At the time, Miss G wasn’t yet really into drawing, so I filed it away for sometime in the future.  Now, with an almost 3 year old who adores drawing and colouring and a 30 {or so} hour trek to the other side of the planet looming near, it was one of the first things that popped into my mind when preparing for what is bound to be a somewhat challenging journey.  It’s silly, fun, doesn’t require a ton of pieces, and since it’s dry erase, will be perfect for using again and again during our long plane rides.
