Your kids are going to love it. It's just the prettiest!

We've used our infamous 2-ingredient white clay dough to make these dazzling Valentines ornaments! I just LOVE how they sparkle and shine! And the colours... oh my WORD! They're gorgeous!

I love this clay dough so much. It's SO easy to make! It's just baking soda and corn flour, so it dries to this brilliant, bright white which looks stunning with the sparkly colours we've topped them with! Have a look! Aren't they just beautiful?

We made these stunning, glittered leaf ornaments using our easy clay dough recipe. It's made with just 2 kitchen ingredients and water.

This is a wonderful fall craft for big kids, but easy enough to make with toddlers and preschoolers.

You have to try this one with your kids this fall!

They'd be perfect to display as place holders on your Thanksgiving table, or you could hang them from some small branches and display them in a vase.

I think they'd double as excellent Christmas tree ornaments too, don't you?

Quick! Go, go! Check them out through the link below, and tell me if you think they're as beautiful as I do!

I'm really excited to show you these calming glitter bottles! They're so easy to make!

They're mesmerizing to play with and they're a great tool for helping preschoolers learn how to relax and regulate their emotions when they're upset, anxious or just feeling like they need a quiet moment to reflect.

I'm also super-excited to tell you about a new preschool series that airs on Saturdays on Treehouse TV. It's called Esme and Roy, and it's an adorable animated series that helps kids manage their emotions and navigate through challenging situations.

I've watched a few episodes and I just love it. I hope you'll check it out with your little ones!

Remember how magical it was, folding and cutting so carefully, and then slowly opening your snowflake to reveal the intricate pattern you'd created?

Have a look at the gorgeous colourful snowflakes the hooligans have made.

Just grab a handful of stir sticks when you're in Starbucks (ask first!), and your kids can transform them into glittery, shimmery dragonflies.

They're fun for play but I think they'd look wonderful suspended in a window, or strung into a mobile similar to the pinecone mobile we made last month.

Check them out, and tell me what you think! They're SO EASY!
