What Would You Do With It? Wednesday - Kleenex Boxes



It is still Wednesday.... which means, I'm still on time!!!!
This week's featured item = Kleenex Boxes/Tissue Boxes

I don't have any great ideas that I have used personally for this one, but I sure have a lot of boxes hanging around.... So, I've been scouring the web looking for some great ideas. Here are a few that I found:

Aren't these cars adorable! I found this idea over at Simple As That. I know I have quite a few little ones who will absolutely love this project!


If you are going to make some cars, then you might as well continue the projects with this great traffic light that I found over at Parents Connect

I love this toy phone made from a couple of boxes! I know my little ones are constantly pretending to call people! I found this over at firstpalette.

Last week, there was a great link up for using baby food jars/containers. There were some GREAT entries over there. After some suggestions from Michelle over at This and that about kids.... I have opened all of the linkys for at least a year. So please take some time and visit the older posts if you have great ideas to share! I have also added a feedburner account. (I'm still new to some of this, and if it needs tweaking, please let me know!!!)

Anyway, it was hard to pick just one to feature from last week... but here it is:

When you visit this link, you'll have to use a translator, unless of course, you are fluent in Swedish! Choosing this one is sort of cheating, because it is not one idea, but a compilation of them! Thanks to Maria over at Forskoleburken.

On to this week's link up! Kleenex/Tissue Boxes- It's your turn!

Do you have a great idea or post that you can share using kleenex/tissue boxes? If so, please join in linking up!

Here are the rules:

1) The post MUST use Kleenex/Tissue Boxes (or a similar sized cardboard box)

2) The post MUST be family friendly.

There are no other requirements. If you would like, I would love if you linked back to his linky party, but it is not required. I would hope that you will investigate the links shared and visit some of the other blogs, but I'm not imposing any "blog hop/linky" rules. Please, if you do find great ideas and photos... Give credit where credit is due :).

If you have been featured and feel inclined, my featured button is available to grab from the sidebar.

Next week, I will feature my favorite link up and I'll be posting about plastic Crystal Light Containers! Hopefully, I'll be on time!

I don't have pictures of this, but we used to play a sight word game, and one of the cards said "achoo." then you had to sneeze and put your cards back in the box if you got that. My students LOVED that game.
I also don't have a photo but we painted them deep blue with yellow stars and stuffed them with chiffon scarves for the babies to pull out.
I'm going to have to share this with my husband:)

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them. We have made: rain sticks kaleidoscopes marble runs and we have also cut the tubes and made them into flowers or snowflakes like these. If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

Yes, WE CLIMB UP THE SLIDE!

Yes, we do climb up the slide. We climb up the slide here at Child Central Station in the backyard... We climb up the slides when we are at the park..... and here are a few reasons why we think you could reconsider climbing up and allowing the children in your care to climb up the slide too! 1. Climbing up the Slide uses MUSCLE!  Young children need to be active and climbing up the slide requires a lot of muscle and coordination. It is not an easy feat- and requires strength, concentration, determination, and will power. 2. Climbing up the Slide is RISKY! Yes- climbing up the slide is potentially risky, but so is sliding down! Your job as a caregiver is to carefully observe and monitor the situation, to be close by- but not to interfere unless necessary. Part of a child's learning process must include managing risks- climbing up the slide is a perfect way to practice this skill. 3. Climbing up the Slide involves potential CONFLICT! It is al

Making Moon Mud!

We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil.  So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD?  And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
