Kool-aid ice bowling

We love to play with ice and so we made Kool-Aid ice balls. Fun for summer play and a great way to stay cool.

All you need is balloons, kool-aid packets, water and a freezer. Then can use pins or plastic cups for the bowling pins. What we used was plastic pins from our Little Tikes bowling set.

Hours of fun and if you place paper down to make an alley then you can have some cool painting as well.

This activity is great for fine motor skills, eye hand coordination and fun way to get moving. Below are a couple other fun games we have done be sure to check them out.

DIY....Magnetic learning blocks

I bought some wooden blocks from the craft store awhile ago and have been wanting to do something with them. The other day I was in Lakeshore Learning Store and saw some magnetic letter matching games and I got this idea.

So I went home and had the kids help paint the wooden blocks so they were colorful. Then glued magnets on each block, wrote upper and lower case letters and number/dots on them and we had a fun matching game.

Super easy and inexpensive to make.

Materials:
3/4 wooden blocks
Paint (optional)
Sharpie marker
Magnets
E6000 glue (or strong glue)

 

Have the kids paint the wooden blocks, so they feel important with helping to make the learning game. Great way to have the kids involved in the fun.

Alphabet matching sensory bin game

I put together a fun letter recognition/matching sensory bin for the kids to explore in. I would say I spy letter "blank" and then they would have to find the upper and lower case letters in the bin.

Very simple to put together I used our foam uppercase BATH letters and then got 3 packs of carrot shaped eggs from the Dollar Tree and wrote the lowercase letters on them.  Got the grass from Wal-Mart for $0.33 and used 4 bags.

Fun way for them to learn and explore.

The kids had fun finding the letters and was really cute Jake was helping Cate, due to we are working on the recognition of the letters with her.

We love fun learning sensory play so be sure to check out some of the below links.

DYI Pumpkin toss game

I had this cardboard on hand and so I cut out a pumpkin face to make a game for the kids. For their Halloween party.

Then had "J" paint it orange and we set it up. Already had ping pong balls on hand from the Dollar Tree.

Another fun inexpensive Halloween game for the kids.

Materials listed in the picture below. (You can also buy the tri-fold posters in the store as well and use if you don't have cardboard around the house.)



The kids loved playing the Pumpkin Toss game.

Halloween stack, count and squirt game

Over the summer we made this game and the kids loved it. So I decide to paint half the cups white for a ghost and other half orange for pumpkins.

"J" and "C" had fun playing this again. "C" loved stacking them. "J" kept squirting them.

This is a great fine and gross motor skill for the kids when they are squirting the water bottle and moving around. Then eye/hand coordination when they stack them.

Plus the fun they have playing.

Monster dice learning and fun party game

We have been working with numbers and have made some dice with numbers on them in the past. "J" loved playing with them so I thought it would be fun to make our own dice game the kids could play with and tie into Halloween.

So "J" and "C" sat and painted the dice orange. Then when "C" was napping "J" and I placed the eyeballs on the dice and I wrote Halloween action words on the dice.

They really had a great time playing the game.

I got the wood dice at a craft store(A.C. Moore) and used a 50% off coupon 2 different times or you can print 2 coupons and have someone go with you, get both that trip.

Total cost of this project was $4.00 and the nice thing is it is reuseable.

This would be a really fun game to play at a kids Halloween Party as well.

The kids would roll the dice and then they had to do what the dice said, the number of times it landed on.

This is great for helping read and count the eyes on the dice.

Words on the dice:

Pumpkin kick

Screwcrow skip

Witch jump

Spider crawl

Cat walk

Ghost hop
