Tie Dye Fun

The other day, Ryan and her cousin Molly, had a great time with leftover Easter Egg Dye. I bought it AFTER Easter knowing dying eggs is a favorite activity of Molly’s. So they made beautiful eggs and we had so much leftover dye that I didn’t want to waste. So I grabbed some paper towels

A Sprout Day!

I don’t know about your kids but mine love Sprout TV and today we’re lucky to go for a visit to the SunnySide Up Show! Is there a local TV station near you? Yes, I know Sprout is national — but I wonder if you could visit your local TV station sometime with the kids.

Digging in the Dirt — Earth Day or Any Day

You never know what you can find in the earth … so encourage the kids to find a spot, with your guidance, and dig in the dirt to uncover treasures that might be waiting for them … from stones to sticks. Their hands can be their shovels or get them some real garden shovels to

An Adventure to Nowhere!

  Yesterday we went on an adventure — to nowhere! No plan, just get in the car and drive. It was Ryan, Scott (her dad who took this picture) and me. We had the best time — 3 1/2 hours together and we found a Zoo (on sale — interested?), we found a tractor on

Giant Cases — great for storing toys

Okay, some of you may not call cleaning up a KIDFUN activity, but, if it were, imagine how much easier it would be! Look at Miss Kate here, holding a big cloth bag (like a pillow case for a king-size pillow). She and the kids are actually laughing as they put away their instruments in

The Philadelphia Museum of Art places a lot of value on families and Sundays are filled with Family Programs. I happened to be there last week and loved watching the Ken Ulansey Band members playing upbeat music for the kids and families. The kids couldn’t help but get into the rhythm and beat and get

Mattress Sliding Board

Okay, YOU may not think this is a good KIDFUN, but I bet the kids will! In fact, Mady Rose, 3, really loved it! Her Pop Pop Eddie couldn’t believe how much fun she had when she cleverly figured out that if the mattress were propped against something at an angle, it would be the

Musical Scarves

  What an easy way to get kids involved in music! Turn on some music and give them scarves to wave and twirl, toss in the air, dance with and wear!! Ya’ know how I got this idea? I don’t get the credit. It’s from the Music Together classes at the Conservatory of Musical Arts

Real “Stuff” Sculpture

Maybe, one day, Ryan will become a sculptor because she   loves creating art from all kinds of things — like forks! We were waiting at a restaurant and she just started playing with a couple forks and look at this! She said, “Grammy, it’s sculpture!” What can you use for building tools in your
