One thing that all kids love is FOOD! If you want to get to a kids heart just give them so me yummy food. Well what aobut when you need them to eat helthy food that they don't think is YUMMY?
I found some super cute ideas for dressing up your kids snacks.

As a mother I realized that positive reinforcement is so important! I don't know if I can stress that enough. So, I am always looking for new ideas to practice positive reinforcement and the latest one I came across is a fish bowl or a glass candy jar, like you used to see in the grocery stores with the penny candies (I know this let's you know I'm old). When you catch your child doing something good, helping siblings, doing chores, or my favorite picking up after themselves without being prompted from Mom or Dad, you will add a cotton ball to the jar. You want to make sure whatever you are adding is kind of big so that it doesn't take too long to fill up. Once the jar is full the family will do something together. Examples: Swimming, go to a restaurant, go to the park, whatever will get your children excited.
Note: Make sure the reward is something that the kids will enjoy, even if it's not your favorite thing to do. Remember it's their reward and that your's comes form them doing good :-) !!!!
This is my first time ever blogging. This blog is going to start out as a place to find fun activities for classrooms or just your own kids at home.
My first post is a super fun science project that I found on Pinterest
This is what you get when you microwave a bar of Ivory soap. Once you have done this you can add color to it and then you can mold it into whatever shape you want. This seems like it would be super fun! I read that it's not messy too! that is always a plus when doing projects with the kids.
So once this semester is over we are definitely doing this.
