Brody had a great time helping me make them. He loved rolling out the dough, of course he called them worms. He got a little bored of making worms and moved on to make his own little car. I am kicking myself for not taking a picture.

Terrific Tuesdays: Painting with Kool-Aid
Hello. I'm Amy the creator of Serving Pink Lemonade and I am so happy Dee Dee invited me to contribute on Terrific Tuesdays. My sister Jeanine and I created our site to share some of the fun things we do with our kids to keep them busy and happy. At Serving Pink Lemonade you can find kid crafts and food crafts, homemade toys, learning games, book reviews, travel ideas, projects just for mom, and more. Stop on by!
Today I'm going to share with you a fun way to get your kids interested in art. I did this activity with my daughter and she loved using the scented kool-aid to paint each fruit the way it actually smells.
First, pull the Kool-aid out of your cupboard . . .
(mix each flavor in a bowl with a few tablespoons of water)
(mix each flavor in a bowl with a few tablespoons of water)
Pull the fruit out of your fridge . . .
Now you're ready . . .
So paint away!
My daughter had so much fun with this. She couldn't stop with just one picture. How fun is it that your painted lime smells like a lime and your orange smells like an orange? The bananas do smell like lemons though . . .
(Caution: Kool-aid stains -- furniture, clothes, skin. This isn't an activity for toddlers, unless you want your child to turn rainbow colors.)
We hope you have fun with this little craft. We sure did!

Dry Erase Alpahabet Tracing Book
Now that Brody is getting older we have been working on teaching him the alphabet. He loves singing the alphabet song and he can recognize quite a few letters. He usually points out when he sees a "B" and tells me "B for Brody" he also recognizes "D for you mom" or "E for Ella" and "L for Leah".
I was thrilled when I saw this alphabet tracing printable set by Lauren from Lawteedah. I printed the entire alphabet and put them in plastic sheet covers and organized them in a binder so Brody can use a dry erase marker to practice writing his letter. He loves it!
How do you help teach your kids the alphabet?

It's Just Another Stylin' Sunday
And of course he had to have Curious George in the picture with him. His cute cousin Ella let him borrow it and he couldn't have been happier.
P.S. Does anyone else think that Crazy 8 clothes run big?

*I got the idea of Terrific Tuesdays from my mother in-law. When my husband was young she arranged a Terrific Tuesdays group in her neighborhood and each Tuesday the kids and their parents would go on fun outings and do fun activities together. Thanks Beth for sharing this idea with me!
