A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)  

Arts and Crafts, Toddler Style

While we have an iPad, iPod and lots of DVDs (Barney, Elmo, etc.) Our mothers are educators so we also like to have our daughter engage in more traditional play time activities.  In addition to her videos and elctronic games, she likes to run, jump, and play at the playground. She also likes to make things.

Arts and crafts are great for kids...


We have learned that arts and crafts are the secret to occupying our toddler. And she has learned at an early age that it's not always the quality of the art project that matters, it's the fun you have during the creative process.  We have learned that some projects are best done with as little clothing as possible.  Hopefully, the toddler doesn't try to apply this lesson when she's a teenager...

Painting is a perfect craft project for a Two Year Old!
