Recently we decided to get a little crazy and do a super long road trip with the kids up to Salt Lake City, Utah. We got even more crazy and decided to relocate there…but, that story will be for a later time once life quiets down here a bit. Anyways, being that we were going to spend a good 22 hours in one vehicle with rowdy children we went on a massive hunt for simple and quiet activities that they could easily do in the car. This busy bag was by far one of the quickest to put together and one of their favorites to play with. Plus it was FREE!

Light Up the World Earth Day Craft: Encourage recycling and innovation through this simple earth day craft that will light up awareness on taking care of our world through our daily actions!
With Olivia’s Autism she can tend to get pretty obsessive about certain aspects of our day to day life. Teeth must be brushed after every meal and snack…shoes must be tied just a certain way…and recycling —anything and everything that can be recycled must be. While there are times that this tries my patience levels, having a child that is so focused on taking care of herself and this world is for myself a huge blessing. It serves as my daily reminder {often happens many, many times a day} that it is our jobs to take care of what we have.
Dinosaur Stomp Painting: This process art activity could not be any easier or fun. This is an EASY kid craft to use during a dinosaur theme week that works well with any age.
When it comes to art activities for kids process art projects tend to be our favorites! This activity could pair well with some of other process art posts such as DIY Texture Paintbrushes, Homemade Scented Paint, or even our DIY Textured Finger Paints!
This week while we have been exploring Dinosaurs I knew I wanted to do something to tie in some art projects. It seems like we have been on a pretty strong science kick lately and haven’t done much for arts-n-crafts. I just honestly have not wanted to take the time to set up a craft activity– lazy I know. Then I came across this dinosaur painting activity and knew it was something simple that we could easily do!
Meatball is absolutely loving the whole dinosaur theme — we have them driving cars, taking baths, eating spaghetti…they have become one of his can’t put them down right now toys. So today we painted with dinosaurs.
It turned out pretty awesome! Gotta love simple fun!
