The Teal Pumpkin Project: How to Participate and a Little Inspiration

Inspiration and Ideas for the Teal Pumpkin Project

Have ya’ll heard about The Teal Pumpkin Project run by FARE?

Launched last year as a national campaign the Teal Pumpkin Project™ raises awareness of food allergies and promotes inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season. With over 15 million Americans living with food allergies this campaign is an amazing way to help kids with food allergies enjoy the Halloween season — because Trick-o-Treating is absolutely no fun if you don’t get treats you can enjoy!

Since one of our kids is on a GFCF diet The Teal Pumpkin Project™ is one that we are very enthusiastic to stand behind. It is so incredibly easy to participate and the difference it can make is HUGE!

How cute is this I Want to Eat Your Books Bookmark?!

One of the things that I love about being a blogger is getting to explore the new kids books that are out there with my kids. It’s seriously one of my favorite perks. This week we were sent a book by Karin LeFranc and Tyler Parker called, “I Want to Eat Your Books“. This book was absolutely adorable and a fun conversation starter on how to properly treat books!

As we watched the book-ivore zombie tear through the pages of this delightful book Meatball laughed, cringed, and quite often shouted out “No! No!”. The illustrations were bright and fun and the overall feel of the book is very playful. In the end the zombie teaches yet another book destroying monster how to treat books. It was at this point that Meatball voluntarily got up to pick up his books on the floor!

Frog Egg Slime! A Slippery Squishy Sensory Bin

Frog Egg Slime! A Squishy Slipper Sensory Bin

Earlier this summer we were able to visit this amazing natural playground in Rochester, MN. If ya’ll ever go through there make sure to stop and visit (it is called Oxbow). While we were there we got to see Frogs and Toads up close and it was super cool. This experience spurred on a fascination with frogs for my kids. Ya’ll are never going to believe what this Frog Egg Sensory Bin is made out of, but it was perfect for setting up some pretend play while learning about the anatomy of Frog Eggs.

Ok…so it looks gross. I know. But if you ask me Frogs fit into that slimy gross category. We just did this activity the other day and my kids are already asking to do it again. This sensory bin is a blast!

Halloween Kid Crafts: Q-Tip Skeleltons

Halloween brings about many activities for families to do together. Although we love attending Fall festivals, haunted houses, and corn mazes, doing Halloween Kid Crafts has to be on the top of the list as our favorite thing to do during this time of year. There is a long list of simple crafts to do with kids. However, I don’t think any get any easier than this Q-Tip Skeletons Craft.
