Summer Reading Library Bags

The teacher in me is super excited that all three of my kiddos love reading. We make a weekly trip to the library. The kids each made their own library bag so that they could pick out and carry their own books. We had so much fun making these bags. Here’s what you will need.

Here are the instructions from the original blog on how to make a custom t-shirt. I followed the directions and just used tote bags instead of t-shirts.

Edible kids paint

We were a little bored one day last week and since it’s so hot outside we needed an indoor activity. I saw a post on Pinterest on how to make marshmallow paint and decided to give it a try. It was a tad on the runny side but my kids loved it. They especially found it fun to lick the paint off their hands;)

Click here for the instructions on how to make this fun edible paint using only marshmallows, water, and food coloring!

Rice krispie treats….before you mix the marshmallows with the rice krispies use food coloring to tint the melted marshmallows. Make layers or red, regular, and blue rice krispie treats!

Hamburger Buns

It’s summer time….and that means grilling is in full swing around here. I am learning to use the grill and have to say it’s been fun. Today I grilled hamburgers and made homemade buns. It’s easy and fun to make your own buns!

Here’s the recipe and step by step instructions can be found on this blog. The only thing I tweeked was the amount of sugar this recipe calls for….instead of using 2.5 T of sugar, I used 1.5 T. I prefer a less sweet bread!
