I’m adding Toy Tuesday to my Trip Tuesdays 🤪Although we’ve been adjusting to a teeball schedule and a weekend of bday parties, we are starting our outings again so Trip Tuesday will resume. Since spring is officially starting soon, I wanted to share this spring box I made 3 years ago!!! We added things to it over the years and bring it out every spring. You can take it along on trips since it has a lid. But you can always make one for every season and holiday. I take a small plastic bin and put Easter grass along with insects, bunnies, small playdoh, tweezer tongs, cups, Easter eggs, spring themed erasers or whatever you can find. I just went to the 99 cent store and I’m adding a tiny net and spring erasers. It’s an invitation to play idea so they can take all of these pieces and make up a story, or take the tweezers to find the insects in the grass, make carrots out of orange playdoh to feed the bunnies, race the chick and bunny wind-up etc. All of these ideas came from my littles. Most of these items were purchased at the 99 cent store, Targets Bullseye, and Dollar Tree. So it doesn’t need to be expensive. And the Melissa and Doug insects were gifted to us by @theceronteam last Easter, but use a Michaels coupon for a Toob of insects to cut the cost. This is a great Easter basket idea too!! I love that when we get home from school, they want to play with their spring box! #invitationtoplay #springactivities #stemforkids #losangelesmoms #stemeducation #insects #lamoms #socalmoms #mamahood #motherhood #latinamom #latinamomblogger #momblogger #parenthood #laparent #springbox #easterbasket #easterbasketideas #valleymom #sfvalley #targetbullseyesplayground #dollartree #99centstore #toddlerplay #toys #toytuesday #otmom #slpmom
Start following your local colleges and universities because you can find out about special programs, farmers markets, sporting events that you can bring your kids to for FREE. The boys sat through 30 minutes of a planetarium lecture (kid friendly) at our local community college and they loved it! They were all for the reclining chairs while watching and learning about planets, moons, and craters in the dark. We are big astronomy fans so this was a treat!! I wish they would do this often because it’s an awesome experience for everyone. I love exploring new colleges and realizing how fortunate we are to live 5 minutes from one. We took a leisurely stroll through the quad, worked on a puzzle and ran through the open field with bubbles. We also stopped to visit the equestrian. #highereducation #astronomy #solarsystem #stemforkids #cognificentkids #socalmoms #parenting #losangelesmoms #lamoms #thevalley #valleymoms #laparents #socalparents #ocmoms #latinamoms #latinxparenting #mommyblogger #momblogger #latinamomblogger #freeevent #knowledgeispower
