Where Should Crayola Dandelion Go On His Retirement Tour?

    If you haven't heard the news, Crayola has retired one of its long time crayons: Dandelion (Dan D). Now Dandelion gets to go on a 4-Week Retirement Tour!! Where do you think he should go?

I think Crayola Dandelion should get to see The Grand Canyon so he can watch his color glow in the beautiful sunset.   

Visit Crayola.com/tour to check out all the places Dan D will be going to, and also see where he's been!

Let Your Lil Ones Play Scientist With A Fun Children's Lab Coat

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

  All children like to play dress-up at some point in their lives, whether it be a Pirate, a Princess, or...
How about a Scientist?! Working Class Child's Lab Coat allows some crazy fun for your little one,
dressing up as a Scientist to complete those mad scientist experiments, or to wear while presenting
a class project. This lab coat is made of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton with wrinkle resistant fabric.
 It is a 3/4 length coat with long sleeves, a button up front closure, a small chest pocket, and two
 lower front pockets. Plenty of space for your budding Scientist!

Your little ones can also use this Lab Coat for playing as a Doctor, a Veterinarian, a Dentist, a Technician, and so much more! Let them imagine all the fun uses they can get out of this Lab Coat.
 The coat is made of high quality fabric, thick and durable so it will last! I love that it has pockets so your little one can store things in them, including the fun guide book that was included. The buttons
 on this coat are secure, and allow the coat to be closed up or left open. Making it able to fit even older children! Which would be good for those 12 year olds wanting to go as Zombie Scientists for Halloween lol. This jacket would be great for many things! My son has happily added it to his collection of costume props and will be getting loads of fun from it!

       You can find the Children's Lab Coat available on Amazon for $7.99 with free shipping on orders over $49. They also have smaller sizes.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, 

I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Making #AirheadCrafts With Smiley360

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 

As a member of the Smiley360 club, I received a super fun mission to make edible crafts using Airheads. You know what Airheads are right? The childhood candy, full of chewiness and tang. Those taffy like strips you may or may not have pretended were long tongues when you were a kid....

Airheads add a fun and colorful touch to any craft-able food item. And the awesome thing is, they are gluten free and peanut free, so they are a safe go to for children with allergies! You can use Airheads to mold, cut, and shape into all kinds of things, adding the little extra pizzazz to your project. 

I never realized just how hard molding Airheads would be, until I experienced it first hand. After seeing all the craft ideas, I thought it would be a piece of cake...boy was I wrong! So our little Airhead Crafts didn't come out as cute as I hoped, but me and my son had a lot of fun making them!

We attempted a couple things, as you can see....

On the top row, my son made: A scarecrow, a Popsicle, and a Monster.

On the bottom row, I made: A Turkey, a Face topper for a cookie, and an easy ribbon. 

What would you make if you crafted with Airheads?

Snuggle's #CraftyPaws Dryer Sheets Box Mission with #TeamSnuggle

I'm on the Snuggle's #CraftyPaws Dryer Sheets Box Mission and with that, 
I must make a craft from the Snuggle fabric softener sheets box
 for the "Let's Get Crafty" Contest!!

What would you make from a box of Snuggle Fabric Softeners? 

After taking some time to think about it, I decided to make a piece of art for my wall, using my
 Snuggle box. I started by taking out all the dryer sheets, and unfolding my box. I then refolded it inside out so only the cardboard was showing. I taped the edges back together, though glue would have been better, and put a twine hanger on the back. I used an adorable greeting card with the photo of a bike on it, and taped that to my box. Hung it on the wall and admired how cute it turned out! Since I used tape for the card, I can reuse this to match any decor I want! I just carefully take the card off, 
and tape a new one on! Easy, reusable, and recyclable art! Plus it doubles as an air freshener 
because the scent of Snuggle dryer sheets waft from the box every time you walked past it! ;)

 This post is made possible by the Snuggle Bear Den, in providing me a box of Snuggle fabric softeners to use in crafting and to be eligible for a prize drawing. All other supplies were contributed from my own stash of crafting  No compensation has been involved.

Challenge #1 is Mixed Berries & Triscuit

I came up with a unique little snack...

I began with a Sour Cream & Chives Triscuit cracker,

I spread Pineapple yogurt across,

Topped it with two blueberries

Then sprinkled toasted coconut on top. 

It was a pretty tart, yet a sweet and salty mix... 

but I would suggest using a Cinnamon Sugar Triscuit next time :)

I would love to hear what you make!

Every Summer, every day was spent with my best-est friend. We would spend time at each others houses, playing outside, building forts in the bushes, running through the sprinkler, playing Barbies, and doing everything fun imaginable. Most of our days would be spent outside and nearly every day, the Ice Cream Truck would drive by. We would hear the ice cream song play, miles away, from the backyard...As we heard it we would run inside the house begging for some money to get us a special treat. Usually we could persuade one of our parents into handing over the money ;) We would run to the corner of the road and wait on the ice cream truck. We talked about what kinds we like and hope they have...and once the ice cream truck arrived, we would always get the usual. A pink bubble gum baseball mitt. The one with the bubble gum baseball right in the center of the mitt. We devoured this thing in no time and it always left us sticky, pink, and a total mess...but it was always so much fun!

This post is made possible by One2One Network. In sharing this info with you, I will be entered into a separate contest for gift card and coupon winnings. Aside from that, this is just a fun informational post because ice cream is fun information!!!  =)
