This is such a fun spring/summer project. Not only will your kids love to watch the progress of their new fort, by the end of the summer they’ll be able to sit in there and actually eat their veggies! The bean tepee in the photos here is the one that is currently growing in my parents garden, and our 3 year old loves it! My dad is an awesome gardener, so I’m sharing with you his tips on how-to make a bean plant tepee for yourself!…

DIY Pop-Up Cards
Our 2 year old daughter loves her pop-up books these days, which gave me the idea of creating some easy pop-up Valentines Day cards! I cut out the pieces while she was napping, and let her go to town on the cards with some glitter pens! (I was walking around Target with ACTUAL glitter in the cart, when thankfully I came to my senses and decided that was a terrible idea…)

Kids Thanksgiving Project

Christmas celebrations are pretty obvious for little kids…the tree, the lights, the gifts, a trip to see Santa…no wonder they get excited about it!
I’ve been racking my brain this week trying to think of a way I could get her into the “spirit of thanksgiving.” How exactly do you get a small child to think about gratitude and all of the things they’re thankful for?
