Clean Mud, great for toddlers! :)

Since it's getting to the point where we can't go outside, I've decided I need a few more indoor projects to keep Leah occupied:) So I made some Clean Mud:) Clean Mud is a sensory activity for kids. Leah's loves it!

All you need is
a bin to hold the magic mud-I used a little clear storage bin
6 cups warm water
2 rolls of toilet paper
1 bar ivory soap
a cheese grater

I let Leah help with this too. I gave her a roll of tp and let her rip it into the little squares. I did the other one. Put both ripped up rolls in the bin.

Use the cheese grater to grate the ivory soap into the bin on top of the tp. Slowly add the water and mix using your hands until it feels creamy-about 10 min.

Then let your kids play! I usually let Leah use it in the kitchen and give her spoons or cups to play with.

Put a lid on the Clean Mud and it will last for weeks! Also great for rainy day activity!

Holiday Basketball Christmas Party

Holiday Hot Chocolate!
You will need:
Pretzel bags bought from party city
A big can of swiss miss cocoa
1 big bag mini marshmellows
plastic spoons

In each bag I put 6 tablespoons cocoa and filled the pretzel bag with marshmellows. Then I put the plastic spoon in and closed with a twisty tie. I made the little sign following the directions on the cocoa can and printed it on the computer and glued it to a piece of cardstock. Easy Easy :)



Our holiday party for our JV basketball team just ended. It was a crazy few days around here trying to get things cleaned, organized, crafted, etc. Our apartment is super tiny, and it took a lot to get 15 girls in here with enough room for everybody to move around but we did it. I'm really into crafting right now, so I decided to go all out and try to make the girls little hot chocolate packages. So i went to the party store and bought little pretzel bags, then to Target to buy hot chocolate mix, plastic spoons, and marshmellows. It was super easy to make them all and I had a really great time adding the "directions" for the hot chocolate to them by printing them out on the computer, putting them in a fun font and then gluing them to cardstock and trying them with festive ribbon to the hot chocolate packages. We then hung stockings for each of the girls on the wall and put the cocoa mix in them. It was a cute, easy, cheap way to get crafty and spread a little Holiday cheer:) I also put that they were from my Leah just for added cuteness:) Cleanup was a breeze and we really had a fun time! Hopefully next year we have a house to hold this party in with a little more space than we currently have!

Next activity-Leah's second birthday party-Elmo Style!
