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.

Literacy learning with stamping

I love to tie in learning with play with my kids. We have been working on sight words with Jake and the other day I was going through my scrapbook stuff and found some alphabet stamps.

I knew there was something we could do with them, so I kept thinking and came up with stamping words from our flash cards.

Wasn't too sure how Jake would like doing it, but I took them out and he liked it. Plus it is great for fine motor and eye hand coordination skills as well.

Materials are simple......ink pad, alphabet stamps, paper and flash cards or you can spell words. I like the flash cards cause they can do it while you are cooking or working on something else.

Below are some other fun ways we have tied learning into play. 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.

We like to make fun learning games be sure to check out some of the other fun games below.
