Homemade Bubbles!
www.etftrends.com
Some of the funniest time for kids is playing outside with bubbles. Bubbles are great for all ages and even some animals like to play with them. I found a few great bubble recipes that I wanted to share so that everyone can enjoy some fun times outside this summer with your kids and animals.
Basic Bubbles:
1 cup water
2 tablespoons light karo syrup or 2 tablespoons glycerin
4 tablespoons dishwashing liquid
Mix together and have fun!
Colored Bubbles:
1 cup granulated soap or soap powder
1 quart warm water
Liquid food coloring
Plastic straws
Small juice cans
Dissolve soap in warm water. Stir in food coloring until desired color is attained. Give each child a can about 1/3 full of mix and a plastic straw to blow the bubbles.
Fancy Bubbles:
1 cup water
2 tablespoons liquid detergent
1 tablespoon glycerin
1 teaspoon sugar
Mix all ingredients together until sugar dissolves. Enjoy!

paper birds
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Scrapbook paper
Scissors
Pencil
Colored paper clips
Tape
Glue stick
Hole punch or pushpins
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. For each, draw a bird figure on a piece of scrapbook paper (or download our template). Cut out this figure, trace it, and cut out the matching shape.
2. Bend a colored paper clip or two into feet and tape them to the back side of one figure. Use a glue stick to join the two matching figures, sandwiching the paper clip legs between them.
3. Make an eye with a hole punch or pushpin and adjust the legs so that the bird can stand on its own.

11 cheap & free toys for children!
1. Egg cartons.
They make great caterpillars, they’re good storage containers for little treasures found on walks, and they can become airline seats for little animal toys.
2. Chalk.
On sidewalks, on chalkboards, on driveways – endless fun, and it hoses right off.
3. Water and cups.
Our 3-year-old loves to “wash” dishes. Just give her a step stool in front of the sink and a few dishes – she’s lost in her own world.
4. Paper and safety scissors.
Old newspapers, expired coupons, and scrap paper – give some to your kiddo with a pair of safety scissors, and he’ll be engrossed for hours.
5. Dried beans or rice.
It’s fun to pour into bowls and cups of different sizes, and it’s a good sensory exercise. Sand works well, too.
5. Toilet paper or paper towel tubes.
They’re great telescopes for your budding pirate, you can cover the ends and pour some dried beans inside for a musical shaker, or you can sit them upright as bowling pins.
6. Old clean socks.
Roll them up into balls, or get some markers and wear them on your hand for classic sock puppets.
7. Washed out empty food containers.
My daughter loves to play kitchen, and she’s stocked with some of our empty syrup, ketchup, and dressing bottles. No need to buy a child-size version of the same plastic thing.
8. Balloons.
Indoor volleyball is fun for everyone. And armed with a marker, they’re transformed into silly faces.
9. Books.
My absolute favorite. The child who doesn’t like to read is missing out on adventure, meeting new people, and traveling through time. Be sure to stick with twaddle-free books. If your child isn’t creazy about reading yet, Sara from On Simplicity wrote a great guest post with 30 ways to get your child ready to read.
10. Paper and crayons.
It’s a classic for a reason – give your child a blank canvas, and anticipate their creation. It’s a joy to watch their process.
11. A cardboard box.
You knew this one would be on the list, didn’t you? Every child loves a big, unused cardboard box to transform into a clubhouse, a fort, a time machine, and a tent. Hours of fun, indeed.
