Spark Summer Time Creativity With Juicy Juice + Crayola #UltimatePlaydate #CollectiveBias
As a parent I have always encouraged my daughter to explore activities she enjoys and those that help her grow. This includes playtime. In our home playtime is just another outlet for learning. It isn’t limited but rather nurtured. Whether it’s through a puppet show, crafting, dress up with our pug Chloe, or collecting stones outside for her nature collage- we are learning together. Playtime promotes creativity, imagination, and allows children to gain an understanding of the world around them. Not to mention, it’s just plain old FUN. Even as an adult I find myself taking advantage of playtime. I almost forgot how entertaining it is to get a box of crayons and some white paper, drawing whatever comes to mind.

Holiday Craft: Painted Paper Plate Christmas Tree!
Tis’ the season to get crafty! Christmas is only a few days away and I have a fun holiday project that you can do with your children to get them into the spirit. I came up with this idea after cleaning up our cluttered “wrapping station” and noticed we had quite a few empty boxes to break down for trash pick up. Using paper plates and a brown box flap, I assembled a Christmas tree for Toodie to paint. When she was all done personalizing her tree we hung it by the door to greet guests during the holiday festivities this week.
