Make your summer a lot more colorful with this 3-Ingredient Sidewalk Chalk tutorial!


3-Ingredient Sidewalk Chalk

When I was growing up, one of my favorite parts of summer was covering our sidewalks and driveway with colorful works of art using sidewalk chalk. I've passed along that summertime tradition to my own kid, and we have so much fun drawing the afternoons away. Did you know that you can make your own sidewalk chalk in any colors you want? It's a lot easier than you'd think, and the kids are going to love getting to help! You can even start making your own sidewalk chalk a new summer tradition in your own home.

Easter Jelly Bean Necklaces

I'm always looking for fun Easter activities to keep the kids busy until the egg hunt begins. When my daughter was little, we started a tradition of making Easter Jelly Bean Necklaces, and she has loved making them year after year since then. When we get together with family for our annual Easter party, it's been so fun to make them for the kids as a surprise when they were little, and then making them all together as they've gotten older. This is such a fun activity for kids of all ages, and I hope you have as much fun making jelly bean necklaces together as we have!
