Balloon magic - a fun science activity where you inflate a balloon using baking soda and vinegar.
A huge collection of fun and easy indoor activities for kids. Now that many of us are finding ourselves indoor with the kids more, we must find fun and engaging indoor activities to keep the kids entertained indoors. It's good for the kids and helps parents maintain their sanity, especially when you're indoors several days in a row. We've focused on indoor activities for kids that require little to no prep, using items that parents commonly have around the house.
I have had several emails about the Texture Turkeys, so I am posting directions. First you draw the body and beak on construction paper and cut them out. Draw the turkey's face with oil pastels. Glue him on a large piece of white paper. students draw the feathers around the turkey on white paper and color them in with the texture plates using crayons (not oil pastels) We made these thankful pumpkins today. Students wrote thankful sentences about people they are thankful for to give as gifts for Thanksgiving Our Hot Air Balloons turned out so cute!! Some classes used paint for the balloons, and some used oil pastels. Bun Bun says HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
What a simple way to transform your little one's bedroom!Simply hang a beautiful hot air balloon from their ceiling and let their dreams float away into the sky.The ButterflyLove pdf Hot Air Balloons knitting pattern gives you clear step by step instructions and handy hints along the way.You can choose between making a far away hot air balloon or a closer balloon - both with cute button baskets. Why not knit a couple in each style and cluster them in groups for an amazing dramatic effect?!This pattern only involves knitting flat and is suitable for an intermediate knitter or beginner wishing to expand their skill set. Striped balloons are a great way to use up those odd ball ends you have lying around the place!What you will need:2 knitting needles (US2/2.75mm or size required to match tension advice), 150 yarn for the balloon, 3-4 buttons for the basket, Polyfil, 12 inches of narrow ribbon, 1 tapestry needle for finishing
It's time to begin! Who's excited!!? This is such a fun little quilt and I'm thrilled to be making another with all of you. Here are the details of the sew along- First, you can sign up for the Rise Quilt Along HERE! Second, if you still need to get a PDF or paper copy of the Rise pattern in condensed, organized form, you can find it in my Pattern Shop. I worked so hard on these and I'm super proud of them. They are discounted $1 until the start of the quilt along! The individual balloon patterns are still available for free here on the blog from the original quilt along in 2016. Because I will be out of town for almost all of it (coming for you Utah quilt shops!) and I don't operate from a laptop, the quilt along will be fairly simple and mostly based and announced on Instagram. I will check in here on the blog a couple of times but not every week. A new phase will start every Monday and there won't be any prizes until the end, when there will be 3. Here is the schedule: June 3- fabric planning June 10- background cutting June 17- Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 June 24- Block 4 Block 5 Block 6 July 1-Block 7 Block 8 Block 9 July 8- Prairie Points/Borders July 15- wrap up and final prizes (3 winners!) Materials Needed: Balloons: I used 16 fat eights of Backyard Roses by Ellis and Higgs for Riley Blake, which covered the balloons and prairie points with a good amount left over. You could also use scraps, jelly strips, or layer cake squares. Not all precuts will work for all blocks, however, so you can't just use one jelly roll, for example, unless you make some adaptations. You will need about 8 fat quarters' worth of fabric, though a little more variety than 8 prints would be optimal. 1 1/2 yd background fabric 1/2 yd border fabric 1/2 yd binding fabric 2 yds backing I love the backing on this quilt. The Seed Catalog print combined with the hot air balloons and summery prints remind of me of an old timey state fair, and I just love it! The final quilt measures 42" by 54", a generous baby size. It would be the most perfect new baby quilt, in my humble opinion :) There will be no designated longarm quilter since it has prairie points and can't be done edge to edge. We can all quilt our own baby size, right? I will be sharing tips on how to quilt around the points. If you are quilting along and are on Instagram, don't forget to tag with #risequilt so I can see. I'm @woodberry_way, and you know I love to share there! I made this quilt a second time in softer colors, and that one was donated to a charity auction for refugees. I wonder where it lives now, and I'm grateful to the person who bought it and donated that money. This will be my third time making it and I'm going to use pinks, purples and teals from my stash that were inspired by a Fabric Bubb bundle. Not sure how that's going to go but I'm excited to find out!
Aren’t balloon animals so much fun? My sons love them but have real issues with them inevitably popping so a pop-proof alternative was needed. We also love puzzles and interactive toys. A cro…
