DIY St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Bottle

DIY St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Bottle

This is our second sensory bottle post! Sophie and I have really gotten into sensory activities lately. It all started when I picked the date to officially begin potty training. With the method we were using, I knew we'd have to stay home for potentially days on end, so I wanted to have fun new activities and projects to do with my daughter! RELATED READING: DIY "Frozen" Themed Sensory Bottle We started out by making a "Frozen" movie themed sensory bottle, which was a big hit! (Sophie … [Read more...]

DIY “Frozen” Themed Sensory Bottle

DIY “Frozen” Themed Sensory Bottle

Sophie and I have really gotten into sensory activities lately! It all started when I picked the date to officially begin potty training. With the method we were using, I knew we'd have to stay home for potentially days on end, so I wanted to have fun new activities and projects to do with my daughter! Side note: I've heard other parents remark that potty training times can really help you reconnect and bond with your busy toddler all over again, and I can relate. I felt like Sophie and I … [Read more...]

Valentine’s Day Love Bug Footprint Craft

Valentine’s Day Love Bug Footprint Craft

'Tis the season again! I have such fun doing little crafts like these with my kids for the holidays. I'm not generally a very crafty person, but a DIY handprint or footprint craft always seems feasible enough! I've found that if I'm intentional about the materials, the set up, and the clean up, then it's doable and fun! This year, Sophie and Soren and I made little "Love Bugs" valentines! These only required the kids getting paint on one foot, so it was workable and enjoyable for all of … [Read more...]

Simple Toddler Easter Basket (Candy-Free)

April 17, 2019 |

Simple Toddler Easter Basket (Candy-Free)

It's hard to believe we're nearing the end of April already, and with it comes the celebration of Easter! I shared Sophie's first Easter basket last year in this post, when she was only about 5 months old. I've already had even more fun with her basket this year, simply because there are more "interactive" items in her basket, like books or educational games! I originally debated about whether or not to give Sophie an Easter basket, since I don’t want the holiday to become materialistic to … [Read more...]

Valentine’s Day Bumblebee Footprint Craft

Valentine’s Day Bumblebee Footprint Craft

Sophie made two different Valentine's Day crafts this year! The first one was a handprint "blowing kisses" valentine, which I shared in this post, and today I'm sharing the second one we made! I love bumblebees and I think they're so cute in crafts. :) This is an easy craft you can do with your baby or toddler, and it fits the theme of Valentine's Day just perfectly when you add "Bee Mine" to the final product!

Valentine’s Day “Blowing Kisses” Handprint Craft

February 4, 2019 |

Valentine’s Day “Blowing Kisses” Handprint Craft

Once we hit February every year, Valentine's Day is just around the corner!! As soon as I saw we were nearing the end of January, I started brainstorming valentines that Sophie and I could make this year! Last year, we made little heart-shaped valentines out of her footprints! RELATED: Baby Footprint Valentine's Day Craft This year, I got extra ambitious (haha) and decided to do two crafts!! (You'll see the second one here on the blog soon!) I also felt extra gutsy because we did a … [Read more...]

No-Mess Autumn Tree Painting

September 18, 2018 |

No-Mess Autumn Tree Painting

I loved art projects as a kid. You could often find me downstairs early in the morning, poring through craft books and determining which project I'd attempt that day! :) Sometimes, I followed the directions step by step; other times, I made up my own craft! Even though I'm an adult now, I still really enjoy doing art projects with kids. I've made fun crafts with my nanny kids over the years, and I experienced a lot of art projects as an elementary school teacher, too! But what I've been … [Read more...]

Sophie’s First Easter Basket

Sophie’s First Easter Basket

Some links in this post are affiliate links. As always, I only share products with you that I truly like. Thanks for supporting Just Bee! I actually debated about whether or not to give Sophie an Easter basket this year (and any year), since I don't want the holiday to become materialistic to her as she grows up. I've had to think about how we'll approach this holiday with intention. Easter excitement shouldn't only center around things like candy and treats and egg hunts, even though those … [Read more...]
