Halloween Painting Craft: Who Knew A Piece of Paper, Cookie Cutters, and a Little Bit of Paint Could Be So Much Fun!?
The boys and I did a flurry of painting lately. The boys' favorite was painting a Halloween picture using cookie cutters!

Halloween, that holiday where you get a million little kids all dressed up as monsters and Spongebob and fairy princesses knocking at your door all asking for candy!!! However, perhaps you don't want to give MORE candy, perhaps you would like to give a little trinket instead. I got ya covered... here's a list of a bunch of different halloween favors you can give those little cuties instead of more sweet stuff.
Hey there! It's that time of the week again for Quickie Questions, where I ask y'all a question to get some discussion going in the comments! This week's question has to do with lullabies:
Wednesdays mean Wishlist Wednesday time! I found a hilarious game that I just added to my Christmas list. It's called Don't Tip The Cows
You know, I never really liked Halloween that much as a kid. Sure, it was a day to dress up and be silly and get all sorts of candy and stuff, but really, I wasn't that impressed by it.
Both of the boys are pretty fascinated by fish. We have three goldfish going on 2 years old that we won at a Halloween carnival! Every time we visit an aquarium or zoo, we always have to spend extra time with the fishes.
Summer may be over and I may not be planning any more trips to the beach for now, but I found a way for my kiddos (and for me!) to keep playing with sand all year round!
Ah, Autumn. It's FINALLY autumn.... my favorite season. I thought I'd throw together a fun, cinnamon-scented sensory box for the kiddos to celebrate! Here's what I did...
One of Cocoa Puff's favorite activities are our "sensory" bins. I also call them activity bins. I've made them for multiple occasions and holidays. Originally, I had made a bunch of them for Froot Loop, but his tactile sensory issues made it so that he would barely even touch most of the sensory bins, much less actually enjoy playing with it. Soooooo, I put some of them away and brought them out for Cocoa Puff when he was about 18 months old. He still plays with them at 3 years old, so I've made a few more. Here is one of his recent favorites: a rainbow-dyed oatmeal sensory bin with glass gems, marbles, and plastic coins.
Have you heard of the SkipHop brand? They have the most adorable backpacks and lunch bags and plates and cups and things.
