Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Here is a fun and original idea for your kids' class parties - AND it's allergen-free! Put together 3 of our double-sided wipe-clean cards with a valentine and a dry-erase marker! Our wipe-clean cards come in packs of 50 for just $9.99 - that's 16 Valentines per pack (only $.62/Valentine!) Each set of cards include a dry erase marker, lots of puzzles to solve, pictures to draw and things to spot. The best part is that wipe-clean cards can be used again and again. Here are the card packs we have to choose from. Just click the image below for more info! 

*TIP: Dollar Tree sells 4-packs of dry-erase markers!

Snowshoe Dino Tracks!

Here’s a fun idea! Print this Dino track out and trace it onto some cardboard. Make sure the size is big enough to fit your child’s shoe. Cut a few slits in the middle to tie some yarn through to tie the foot print to the shoe! Now you have Dino Track Snowshoes! Go outside and make BIG tracks!!

Toddler Paleo Lunch Ideas

I am not a photographer. I am especially not a food photographer. I'm just a paleo mama trying to find quick & easy lunch ideas for my kiddos outside of the pbj & juice box norms. My oldest son is almost 3 and my youngest is 6 months. Here are some of our ideas! Hoping to continue to add to this list as we think of more things!

This is a picnic lunch we took to the park. Celery with nutbutter (sunbutter this time), cucumber and celery sticks, roasted sweet potatoes, and a hard boiled egg.

APRIL FOOL'S!

I just finished putting together Chase's April Fool's joke for tomorrow. He is spending the night tonight and is SO excited about tomorrow being April Fool's, so I had to do something! Now I wish I had taken pictures of it, but oh well...

He takes a morning snack to school every day, usually either these Keebler Bug Bites (little graham crackers), Scooby Snacks, or a Rice Krispy treat. I opened up a bag of Scooby Snacks on the seam, poured them into a ziploc, and then rinsed out and dried the Scooby Snacks bag, filled it with colored Goldfish then resealed it on the seam with a glue stick, so it looks like it's never been opened.

Then I opened a bag of Doritos on the seam and dumped the chips into a Ziploc, rinsed and dried that bag and put the Scooby Snacks bag w/the Goldfish inside it. In the Doritos bag, there is a big note that says "APRIL FOOL'S! Have a great day! We love you! Love, Jim, Erin, and Kellan" stuck to the Scooby Snacks bag and inside the Scooby Snacks bag with the Goldfish, I slipped another note that says "APRIL FOOL'S AGAIN!" He's going to freak out, LOL.
