This oobleck stress ball feels SO COOL! We had a great time learning how to make oobleck last year, and this stress ball version offers all the fun without the mess. Simply fill a balloon with cornstarch and water to make this DIY craft that's great for relieving tension! When you squeeze the ball hard, the oobleck stress ball feels a bit similar to a flour stress ball. But if you gently poke at it or let it sit in your hand you can really experience the unique oobleck texture. It's such a cool experience, and a really easy activity

We are beginning to move full swing into the holiday season and I have been planning the two weeks we will all be at home. With some down time I thought it would be a great chance to plan a few activities with my little ones, and since I do love all things Waldorf, I

What kid doesn't love parachutes? My boys have gotten so many of those parachuting army men as party favors, I've lost count. And forget trying to untangle the strings. (Ain't nobody got time for that!) The weather may not have been on our side, but with so many rainy days this summer, eventually you just throw caution to the wind and do outdoor activities anyway. And so it was the day we made DIY parachutes. Making these was simple. We had all the supplies we needed around the house. What You Need Disposable plastic (or paper) cup Plastic garbage sack String (we used some tightly twisted yarn) Paper punch Scissors Tape Measure or yardstick How to Make It First we punched holes in the top of the plastic cups, just under the rim. You'll need to punch four holes equal distance apart (approximately). Next we cut one plastic kitchen garbage sack into a 14-inch square. Since we made two parachutes, we measured and cut the bag with it flattened (i.e. two plies) so we had two squares with only a few cuts. Now we cut four 14-inch lengths of string for each parachute. Our oldest son gathered a corner of the plastic square and tied one length of string to it, leaving only a small tail. He repeated this with the other four corners. Then we tied each string to a different hole on the cup. (TIP: Try to keep the tails all the same length so you don't get a lopsided parachute.) Now all that was left to do was to go to a high place and drop those puppies. My sons perched on the landing of our deck and later our yard's play set. They LOVED watching them gracefully float to the ground. My oldest son tucked the parachute in the cup and dropped it to see what would happen. It sank to the ground with lightning speed. That's gravity for ya! How Does a Parachute Work The cup glides slowly down thanks to something known as air resistance (or drag). When air gets under it, the plastic parachute fans out for maximum coverage; this air resistance slows the fall of the object tremendously. This great activity came from Patricia A. Staino's wonderful book Magic Moments: Super Science with Your Kids. Check it out!

Love the magic of flipbooks? Want to make some with your kids? Interested in trying out a quick STEM activity? Or are you looking for a fun craft to try out his summer? Well, you're here at the right post. Instead of going the typical route and using a lightbox and pencil, here is one super-easy way to make DIY flipbooks with children of all ages. No drawing and tracing are necessary! How to make super easy DIY flipbooks with Kids Note: This post contains affiliate links. This means I make a small bit of change when you purchase items through the links at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support and the grocery money! For my full disclosure policy, click here. Materials Needed: Dot Stickers Sharpie Markers Index cards or old business cards To make these flipbooks, simply use dot stickers! They are uniform in shape, come in multiple colors, and are easy to stick onto your cards. After planning how you want your dots to "move," place the stickers in slightly different positions on each card to imitate animation. (Remember to leave the left side of your card blank because you'll need to hold that side to flip the cards.) If you want to draw, you can always add details like a face! When you're done with your flipbook, stack all your cards on top of each other and flip away! Make adjustments to your dot placement as necessary. To view a video of our dot flipbooks, check out my IG post! Happy creating!
