It's hard to believe that Easter is next weekend. It's so early this year! I never got around to bringing up the Easter decorations from the basement and in fact I think there are a few stray Christmas decorations still out around the house (oops).

For preschool valentines this year I showed my son a bunch of ideas on Pinterest and let him pick one. Last year we did the "Have a Ball Valentine!", which I chose.

Kool-Aid Dyed Play Silks
Play silks are exactly what they sound like - big pieces of silk you play with. I ran into the idea when I was searching for non-toy gift ideas for toddlers and preschoolers in December. I found a great list on Nourishing Minimalism, and #16 was play silks. I had never heard of play silks… Continue reading Kool-Aid Dyed Play Silks

Recycled Wrapping Paper
Today I went to a baby shower for a good friend. All the guests were asked to bring a children's book to help start the baby's library. I thought that was a great idea.

So I started looking around online at websites about knitting, and I found learntoknit.com. I printed off instructions from this website and taught myself how… Continue reading Get Knitty With It
