Start by cutting the bottom of the water bottle off.
Pour some dish soap into a shallow container with a little bit of water and gently mix. We decided to add some color to the bubble snakes with food coloring. Annika added a rubber band to hers as well as the tape. Rainbow snakes were definitely a hit in our house! Please remind your kids to blow air out not suck air in!

How To Make Bubble Paper/Art | DIY Maven. Hand me a paintbrush and a piece of paper, and I’ll start to hyperventilate.

HOW TO: geometric ornaments + GIVEAWAY | Snow and Graham. I love a good paper ornament project, and I especially like one that allows you to use up bits and pieces of paper that are too big to toss and too little to use. This ornament takes a bit of time, but I truly believe that the sum is greater than the parts in that you are left with a keepsake that will hang from your tree for years to come.
A little background on this project: Years ago we developed a holiday kit series that included this ornament as its crown jewel. It was darling and we had lots of customers who were ready to stock them in their stores. Unfortunately the labor to assemble the product as we envisioned it was too pricey for us to bring it to market. The good news for the first 50 readers who leave a comment below is that we would like to GIVEAWAY the parts to make this ornament!

10 Things Not to Say to Your Kids | The Kid Counselor ™ When I think about all of the phrases, anecdotes, and sayings about the power of the spoken word I am reminded of how I changed my way of communicating with children upon learning Play Therapy principles. I realize that using Play Therapy based language is a learned and practiced skill that requires time and effort, so I thought it would be helpful to share ten commonly used phrases parents say to their kids. I will also give the Play Therapy based alternative with a short explanation of why it is more effective. 1. No (running, hitting, yelling, fill in the verb)! Kids hear the word "no" far too frequently (Read more about that here). You can always rephrase the sentence from a negative to a positive, which will correct the behavior without sounding critical.
Train yourself to say what you want them to do instead of what you don't. 2. I have spent a good deal of time on articles on the difference between Praise vs. 3. 4. This does two things. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Mrs. Humpal's Room: Introducing.... THE GLUE SPONGE! This has revolutionized collage in my classes - LOVE IT!! I wish I could take the credit for this idea - or even give credit to the genius who came up with it.
I originally read a description of a glue sponge container on a T.A.B Choice Message Board a few years ago, and it seemed like a great idea. I cut a sponge to fit the container, and just poured glue in. Students can just tap their shapes on the top of the sponge for a thin, even coat of glue - no more puddles! I worried about the sponges getting icky, but I still have the ones that I made well over a year ago, and the sponges are still intact AND the glue isn't stinky :) The only maintenance these need are a few spritzes of water before they get closed up for the day, and flip the sponge every so often.

SLIME. Don't you LOVE it when your little one is over the moon about an activity you shared together?! I do!! This morning we made RAINBOW SLIME and Biscuit was beside herself with excitement.

You mix it all together, separate the slime into a few small bowls and add food coloring to each bowl. You only need a few drops of food coloring!!! Making her slime All ready to go!

The rainbow rose is a rose which has had its petals artificially coloured. The colouring method exploits the rose’s natural processes by which water is drawn up the stem. By splitting the stem and dipping each part in a differently coloured water, the colours are drawn into the petals resulting in a multicoloured rose.
Besides roses, other cut flowers can also be coloured using the same method. The rainbow rose has been developed by a collaboration of two dutch companies, River Flowers and F.J. Zandbergen & Zn. Zandbergen is a large company which specialises in everything to do with roses. Heidi Frazer / Pinterest. Handprint Reindeer Hat. Be Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with fun reindeer crafts for kids.
