Think Spring!


When March rolls around, the calender leads us to believe
 that it is time to THINK SPRING! 
However, here in northern Michigan, 
most of the time we are still covered in snow!

If you still have snow, or even patches of snow, 
you might enjoy spending an afternoon adding some color

When you do have a few warmer days and the snow begins to melt, 
take some time to play in the Spring Mud!

Playing in the mud might remind you that you could really take

When enough snow melts it will be time to mix the dirt/mud for our garden.

Then, you might consider going inside to check on your sprouts...

If you don't have any sprouts to check on, 


Spring is also a great time to hatch chicks!
(You can also raise frogs and as summer approaches butterflies!)

What are you doing this spring?

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....
