DIY Fort Kit for Indoor or Outdoor Use that Kids Will LOVE!

ByHolly - Bits of Everything

Hi Everyone, it’s Holly from Bits of Everything!
Do you need an affordable, creative, and fun idea that will keep the kids busy for hours? I have the perfect thing for you! Today we are making a DIY fort kit using PVC pipe. I’ve done a few PVC projects and they are always lots of fun, but my favorite part is that PVC is cheap!
All the supplies you need to make your fort kit is 1/2 inch PVC pipe, pipe connectors, a pipe cutter (the metal sturdy one is best!), duct tape, clamps, blankets (or drop cloths), and a box to store everything in.
If you get the PVC that is 10 feet long, you should be able to get all these fort pieces with 10 pieces of pipe. We also got a variety of connector pieces. Once the pieces are cut, assign a color to each length. Color coding the length like this makes it so much easier when you need the same size pipe – just get the same color!

Mother’s Day Necklace and Printable

BySierra

Can you believe Mother’s Day is just around the corner? My kids just love making homemade crafts for Mother’s Day. Its always fun to see what they come up with! I’m the type of mom who will proudly wear a noodle necklace and cash in those homemade coupons, and this year I thought it would be fun to make a Mother’s Day necklace with my kids using painted wood beads. I loved how they turned out and they are so simple to make! Moms, grandmas, Aunts or sisters are sure to adore this fun accessory as a gift.

Rainbow Snakes ~ A magical way to experiment with color mixing!

Color Mixing Experiment for Kindergarten ~ Rainbow Snakes

ByJessie

I absolutely love how curious kids are by nature. When they are little everything is so fascinating and exciting! That is why I love the activity I’m sharing with you today. It teaches color mixing in a hands-on and “magical” way that my kiddo couldn’t get enough of.

Now let me give you a little warning up front. This activity can be messy, but with the right preparation, it’s really not too bad. Besides, I think that kids should get to make a mess once in a while. It’s more fun that way, right?

Butterfly Finger Puppet ~ Adorable Nature Project!

ByAmy of while wearing heels

Hi there! It’s Amy from While Wearing Heels and I’m back to share another fun DIY project….for the kids!

To make your own butterfly finger puppets gather the following supplies: cardstock, pencil, twigs, flower petals, leaves, glue stick and scissors. Begin by arranging your leaves onto the cardstock to resemble a butterfly shape. Trace around your leaves and cut your butterfly shape out of the cardstock. Fold the butterfly in half. Cut 2 lines into the center, over the fold, creating a loop to place your finger inside. Using your glue stick, glue the leaves down onto the butterfly shape cutout.
