Face Mask Laundry Tip

A doitandhow original: If you’ve made the fitted cotton masks for your family members, here’s a tip: When you pull them out of the dryer, form them around a sock ball while they’re still warm. This helps prevent all the wrinkling up!

Note: I got the batik blue, black floral and purple stripe fabric at Joann’s. I’ve had the cute sock monkey fabric on the right forever – so I’m not sure where that came from.

Storytelling Basket

Gather a number of items for the story teller to use. The child who is chosen as the teller must use all the items during story time. This is also fun for the reverse; have the kids pick out a pre-determined number of items and YOU the parent, or YOU the teacher, have to come up with a story using all of the items! Truly is fun for all!

Critter Pit

If you’re kids not much of a splash in the kiddie pool kind of person.. fill it with dirt, plastic and rubber bugs and snakes and lots of safe tools to dig. FUN! (Also a great use for a compromised pool that doesn’t exactly hold water – but would hold lots of fun dirt!)
