Easy Science Experiments for Kids

 

 

My kids LOVE doing little science experiments. They could do them all afternoon...ok who am I kidding? I am the one who loves doing them and have brainwashed my children along the way.   I remember doing a few as a kid with basic kitchen ingredients that we always had. It was so fun showing my kids the same experiments and watching their faces light up!  We've learned some new ones over the years and thought it would be fun to share some of our favorites.

 {I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear some that you have done. Leave me a comment and we will try them too!}

 

Freaked Out Pepper

 

 

This is the one I did all the time when I was little. Who doesn't have dish soap and pepper on hand at all times? It's a quick and easy little experiment for the kids.

Pick Your Plum Giveaway!!

 

It's no secret that I love Pick Your Plum! I order from them...well, I won't say how often I order them because I'm not ready to admit that I have a weakness, but I will say that everything I've received has been great.

 

If you haven't heard of Pick Your Plum, they are a daily deal site for women. Craft and sewing supplies, home décor, and fashion accessories. There is always something fun available at 7am when the deal goes live, but there is a catch. When it's gone, it's gone. So you have to get it fast!

Tugaboos Diapers from Rite Aid

 

 

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Rite Aid Tugaboos diapers.

 

Clothing is definitely optional for this little gal during this hot hot summer. Last weekend it hit 112 degrees here in Northern California! Ruby can definitely pull of the diaper look as she runs around doing her thing. Carefree and happy while keeping her little messes under wraps.

My Favorite Hat Pattern

 

I thought it would be fun to do a quick trip down sewing memory lane.

 

Look at this sweet baby and those oh so kissable cheeks! This little babe is almost 5 years old now and still just as sweet. She has always loved to accessorize, and hats have always been at the top of the list. It works out great since we are out in the sun a lot during these months.

 

 

Fast forward 4 years...

 

 

Isn't she a beauty? She still has kissable cheeks too. I thought it would be fun to make her another sun hat. I wasn't sure if the pattern would still fit her, but it did. Just BARELY. Ruby will get this as a hand-me-down next year and I will alter the pattern to make it larger.

Peanut Butter Pops {A Guest Post By My 4 Year Old}

 

We have a very picky toddler who doesn't care for protein and carbs. She is a fruit/veggie and dairy kind of gal and so I have to try to sneak protein and good fats into her when I can. Last night I was making her a peanut butter pop (which she handed back to me) and Kaylee, my 4 year old, wanted to make one for herself.

 

Before I knew it, she had grabbed a spoon and was helping herself to the peanut butter. Then she said, "Can you make a video of me making a one so that I can show others how to do it?"
