Pirate sensory treasure ice fun

It was a HOT day out and J wanted to play on the deck while sister was napping, so what better way to stay cool then to be playing with ice. I set up a pirate sensory table.

J is all into pirates and loves the show Jake and the Neverland Pirates. So I buried treasure in the ice and had him find them.

We used baking soda and vinegar to try and melt the ice, then he used his hammer, after that he went to the water hose.

Materials:
Ice
Treasure(we used necklaces, rings, coins, shells)

If your kids are into Pirates make sure you check out our other fun Pirate Theme fun.

Rainbow treat cupcakes

Today for the summer Tuesday treat we made rainbow cupcakes. J had fun making them. He loves to bake so he was in heaven.

Just take any cake or cupcake mix and bake it like the box tells you. Then you will need rainbow airheads is what we used for the rainbow(got them in the candy section at Walgreens). And icing we used vanilla and colored it blue with Duncan Hines Frosting Creations(cotton candy).

Coffee filter sunflower learning craft

We went berry picking last week and they had a flower garden you could cut your own flowers from. J was so into it and was asking how flowers grow so this week I did a craft with him.

We made a sunflower out of coffee filters and added seeds, leaves and roots to it. Then to have him practice with more writing I had him label the parts.

We were making this craft and he said "Mom, you come up with such cool things." It's so nice from time to time to know your kids are really enjoying the thing you do with them.

Materials:
Yellow food coloring
Coffee filters (we used 4 stuck together)
Black beans (used as the seeds)
Green pipe cleaner (2 twisted as the stem and 1 cut in half for the leaves)
1 piece of brown paper (roots)



Momma's little flowers
