Great Sources of Inspiration

Over the past couple of months, I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with oodles of other folks in the field of early childhood education. Both in person and online.  It has been an amazing journey of friendships, challenges, growth, and excitement!



I am learning so many things I as go along with this blog, and I thought I would send a shout out to some of my fellow bloggers who have been sending traffic my way! I signed up for google analytics awhile back to help track the traffic to my blog, but I honestly have SO MUCH to learn in this department. However, I think it is great to see how people are finding my blog and kudos to those of you sending folks my way (all 323 of you!!!!) 


I think sharing a list of 323 would be a bit overwhelming, but I thought I would share the links to the top 15 referring sites with you. I took out the search engine sites, etc.... Here are some great sources of inspiration who reciprocate the thought with me:

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.

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....
