Be Cool

water balloon piñata May 16th, 2012

It’s getting hot here in Texas, so I think this idea for a children’s party, from Ziggity Zoom, sounds perfect!

Replace a piñata with a few water balloons hung from a sturdy string!  Getting a cool blast of water after a successful swing is a great treat on a hot summer day and much more healthy than candy, right?

Scrap Happy

scrap material playground January 6th, 2012

Have you ever seen a child open an expensive gift and they end up playing with the box it was packaged in more than the gift?

The playground featured in this video is made from business waste.  I found this on another great Dallas-based blog, Tiny Dallas.  I agree with her…this is very inspiring!  I hope that this will inspire some of you to think about what you’re tossing.  Are you throwing away something that could spark your child’s imagination or creativity?  If you know a teacher or child-care worker, please share this with them.  Let’s keep our kid’s right brain functioning at a high level!
