SLIME

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. There are a few ways to make slime, however I found this recipe works best ~ 1 1/2 cups of CLEAR glue and 1 1/2 cups of liquid starch. 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! "Stretchy" "Eeeeeew." "I squish it!" Deep in thought.... By the end there was just one big ball of slime. She played with this stuff for thirty minutes ~ uninterrupted. *High-fiving myself* Happy Playing & Exploring!!

Homemade Play Dough I loved playing with play dough as a kid, and enjoyed working with clay in my pottery classes in high school as well. There's something to be said for making something out of a clump of clay...or dough...or even mud - although play dough is the least messy of the three! Lately I've noticed that my son seems really interested in the different textures of his food. You'll need: 1 cup flour 1 cup warm water 2 tsp. cream of tartar 1 tsp. oil 1/4 cup salt food coloring 1. 2. 3. 4. I know it will be a few years before he's able to really build and work with the dough, but for now he has fun squishing it and throwing the balls I roll for him.

Rainbow Roses: All Colors in One Rose 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 is a large company which specialises in everything to do with roses.

How To Mix Chalkboard Paint in Any Color We love using chalkboards as backdrops for displays and parties (like this one here!). So we were super excited to learn that you can create your own custom colors-and it's really easy! We first learned how from Martha Stewart whose tutorial you can read here. She recommends that you use latex paint, but we tried it out with acrylic paints with much success. Supplies: 1/2 cup acrylic paint (choose any color you like, or mix colors together to make the perfect shade!) 1. 2. Once your chalkboard has fully dried be sure to slate the surface before using it for the first time. Have fun creating any color combination you like!!

Art Dolls by Du Buh Du Designs - Gift Idea: Photo Coasters Three years ago I moved to Oregon, just weeks before Christmas. Mark and I had to come up with an idea for family gifts in a hurry with a limited budget. I had seen a set of four decorative coaster tiles selling for forty dollars in a local boutique and thought I could do the same,but much cheaper. The coasters were a hit and pretty much everyone who received a set called to let us know what a great gift it was. Here's what you'll need to begin : * 4" Tile (uncoated). * Inexpensive fingernail polish remover (contains acetone and works better than straight acetone which we've tried). * a Bone folder (that thing in between the brush and polish remover). * a foam brush (get 2 or three if you're doing a lot). * colored copies from Kinkos**. *** Someone asked if you use regular or photo paper and all I can say is if you go to Kinkos use their color copier and use the paper they have in there. * a sheet of clear acetate (not pictured). * Cheap latex gloves. Now you can begin~ A. B. C. D.

Kool-Aid Hair Dye How to dye your hair with Kool-aid? Yeah that’s right. The best thing about it is that it’s not permanent! Lasts for about two weeks. All you need is two or more packets of your color choice, a small bowl or two (depending on how many colors you're planning on doing), water, and some of your everyday conditioner! This is super simple. What you'll need: good-sized paint brush (for streaks of color) 2 or more packets of unsweetened Kool-Aid (more if you're doing many streaks or your whole hair) small bowls for each color conditioner plastic wrap and/or tin foil (plastic wrap is more comfy to sleep on. Warnings: This stains pretty much everything from clothing to skin to white counter tops. put down some newspaper! STEP ONE: (If you are dying your whole head, I suggest about five packets, although you might need more or less considering whether or not you have long or short hair. STEP TWO: Put a few drops of water in - NOT TOO MUCH.

52 Weeks Project V and Co how to: jersey knit bracelet i don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen. (my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning...*sigh*yeah, i get a little homesick around this time of the year. heck on my pinterest my "dreaming of summer" has the most pictures in it. ah yes. i miss my ocean. case in point. this bracelet, brought a flood of memories, not because i used to have one like it but because i can totally see me wearing it by the beach, not caring that it's gotten salty and wet, because i can totally make another one in like less than 5 minutes flat when i get home. *sigh* okay... *cut off excess tails!

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! 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. Love, love, love my glue sponge containers.

"Stained Glass" Votive Holders By Jenny Ryan Many times when I’m at the grocery or drug store, I can’t resist throwing a few scented votive candles in my cart. When I’m ready to burn them, it’s easy enough to sit one on a cute little vintage china saucer, but I recently decided to try and find a fancier display solution for them. I also wanted the project to be inexpensive, and the materials used to be things I already had on hand. Materials Tissue paper in your desired colors Mod Podge (matte finish), in a pinch you can also use school gluePaintbrush Scissors Glass containers to fit your candle(s), I used thrifted vases and wine tumblers Paper punches in various shapes Q-tips, optional Directions Step 1: Figure out what colors of tissue paper you’d like to use and what paper punch shapes you want to try out. Step 3: Start affixing the punched-out paper shapes to the glass using your paintbrush. Step 5: Once everything is dry, plunk in a votive candle, light the wick and enjoy! More: Related
