So if you’ve never seen this “trick” you can pull it out at the next BBQ, party, or just a time when the kids are bored. It’s really fun for the kids to show off to their friends.
I’ve seen so many fun projects/activities around the web lately I just can’t keep them to myself. “So much time so little to do – strike that, reverse it” (name that movie!)
Shadow Puppets from the always inspiring Ambrosia Girl
My older son taught us this “trick” (well a form of it) so we thought we’d share it here.
If your kids are like mine they are always wanting to know if there is any mail for them. I still remember the excitement of maybe getting a letter addressed just to me (heck I still like getting mail that isn’t a bill).
First of all, thank you Allison for asking me to post on Pre-Toddler Activities. I thoroughly enjoy All For The Boys and look forward to more days of experiments, fort building, and LAUGH’s as my son grows up.
to give you a fun activity? The boys kept bringing me balloons to tie and even though I wasn’t sure what they were doing I thought I’d let it play out and find out. I thought for sure I’d hear popping sooner than later but when it was quite for a while I peeked in to see what they were doing and saw this

This is a fun quick activity you can do with your kids while you’re making dinner.
When I read this post from Jennifer at Big D and Me I immediately emailed her and asked her if I could share this quote from “My Life as a Red Furry Monster” by Kevin Clash.
I had some comments on the fun Angry Birds sandwich yesterday so I knew I had to share this amazing Angry Birds party from Simply Styled Home. What is it about this game that is so fun for everyone? This makes me want to go stack up some boxes so we can knock them down. That’s enough to make any boy laughing.
I have some science projects lined up to share, but the boys have been wanting to do these projects that we’ve seen around the blog and they are most important right?!
We finally got the main things we needed for these 2 activities
