Salt Painted Spider Webs

Am loving how beautiful these salt painted spider webs are!

Spiders are not something I am very fond of…ok not at all fond of. They make me cry. and cringe. and can always get a scream – ick. But for some reason that I cannot wrap my head around both kids LOVE spiders.

Save.Me.

This simple spider activity was a safe way for us to explore this strange fascination of theirs. Plus these Salt Spider Webs turned out stunning!

As I write this my dashboard is suggesting all these spiders images and wikis to include in this post…so excuse how short and sweet this will be. My skin is crawling and I cannot stare at this too long…

Exploding Pumpkin!

This Exploding Pumpkin Experiment is super neat! Can't wait to do it with the kids!

Lately Livia has been regressing. It is a pattern that I have gotten all too familiar with — 2 weeks forward, 1 week back. So this afternoon when a quick activity was needed I could not think of anything more fun and engaging to do than a simple sensory science activity. As an added bonus it is blue which got Meatball super excited! We had a blast with this volcano pumpkin experiment!

We found these white pumpkins at our local grocer for insanely cheap. I picked up a couple of them to do our Teal Pumpkins for FARE, but by the time we were done decorating those we still had a couple left. I had seen different versions of this science experiment on a couple different sites such as Little Bins for Little Hands and Growing a Jeweled Rose and figured this would be a fantastic way to have some fun before decorating another pumpkin!

Geoboard Gourd

This geoboard gourd is a fantastic fine motor activity!

Yesterday was a rough shopping day. It took three stores to find the one thing I was looking for…who would have thought that black-lights could be that hard to find this time of year? While out and about Meatball was on his best behavior. Poor little guy was just about falling over exhausted. Since he was so good I let him pick out one item. His choice? A gourd…

Now what was I suppose to do with that?!

Then I remembered seeing this adorable Geo Math Pumpkin over at Fun.A.Day and I knew what we were doing. This Geoboard Gourd activity was a BLAST!

Earlier this month we had made some teal pumpkins to support FARE’s allergy awareness campaign and the kids ended up using golf tees to poke holes into their pumpkins, which they loved. So I knew this was right up their alley!
