DIY 4 Leaf Clover Tattoos & Stickers (with Free Printables)

March 10 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Make your own "absolutely no pinching" temporary tattoos or stickers at home with the kiddos.

  When I was a kid, the best part of St. Patrick's Day was making people think you weren't wearing green.  Then, just when they were going in for the pinch, WHAM!, you flashed them your green.   If you saw this post, then you know I'm all about the free printables for St. Paddy's Day.  Today I've got one for creating secret green tattoos or stickers to be hidden under sleeves until reveal time.     First you'll need to gather your materials.  For tattoos you'll … [Read more...]

Free Printable: St. Paddy’s Day Limerick Hunt

March 8 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

St. Patrick's Day Limerick Hunt - includes 4 printable pages to hide around the house as well as a printable pot of gold to fill with goodies!

I mentioned last week that I'll be contributing some playtime activity posts over at momtastic and today is my first one - yay!  It's a treasure hunt game with free printables so you can play along at home.       There are four limerick clues to print out and hide as well as a template for making your own pot of gold for the end of the hunt.  I was originally going to sew together the pot of gold but then I spied these stapled Valentines.  How ironic is it that it took my … [Read more...]

Tutorial: Shaving Cream Valentine

January 26 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

It's almost February and that's got me thinking about, what else, Valentine's Day.  I love that C is finally old enough to get into holidays so I wanted to make something special for him to give to his pals.  Since chocolate candy isn't really appropriate for a bunch of 2 year olds (at least not in my world), I came up with this instead.     Process based art and play has been big around our house lately (as evidenced by Monday's post) so these shaving cream Valentines were kind of a … [Read more...]

Entertain Your Kids (and Get Stuff Done) with a Sensory Box

January 24 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

If you've ever stepped foot inside a preschool classroom, you're probably familiar with the mysterious attention-holding sensory box. Its ability to keep a young child's attention is so life changing that you need to have one in your own home - trust me!  Not only will it keep them occupied for unheard of amounts of time, it also comes with all these developmental benefits. A sensory box is simply a container (preferably with a lid for storage) filled with tactile materials for kids to … [Read more...]
