Edible Finger paint DIY

 We found this lovely idea on pinterest and HAD to try it!! What you will need is some Greek yogurt, (we used plain but will probably try vanilla flavored next time) kool-aid packets, paper to paint on, and containers to mix and store left over paint with. All you do is separate the yogurt into containers according to how many flavors/colors you have mix and then paint. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! 

 Even my 14 year old daughter Gabby loved playing with the "paint"!! As you can see above the mess factor was much smaller with her. LOL! We will be looking for a heavier weight paper for next time but using a double layer paper worked just fine this time.  Other than that they had a blast playing with the fun finger paint! I hope you decide to give it a try soon!

Summer Fun Activities!

We are fast approaching the end of summer vacation around here. School starts in less than a month. Boo! I gathered up a few easy and fun activities and crafts to do with the kids. I need some inspiration on how to make this last month count!  

Gold Glitter Slime. So rad!

These Marshmallow shooters are smart and cheap!

Since all our flowers are dying from the heat I thought these accordion style ones would be fun!

These flying fish are inexpensive and really easy to make! 

There are some really intense versions of these on pinterest but this is a good basic one I think! Kiddie car wash! Throw that bad boy on a dry patch of grass and let the kids go to town!

This is RAD! DIY solar smores. This might be my favorite one so far.

My kids are to the age where they don't eat play-dough but this would be fun for them anyway! Incredible Edible Playdough. I love this! Plus play-dough keeps my kids entertained for hours.

Magic Potion! These use dry ice so adult supervisions is definitely required but look how cool!

Who doesn't love bubbles? Everyone does. And these ones don't pop! Well really they are harder to pop. They even say they bounce.

Late summer nights will shortly be coming to an end around here. So I want to enjoy them. I love this idea for Glow in the Dark Ring Toss. My kids would get a kick out of it!

Then off to bed in their glow in the dark party teepee! 

 Anything I am missing? How are you trying to stretch out the last bit of summer?
