That was certainly the cause in our house when we created our Nutella play dough. Excited to experiment with other edible dough recipes, we headed to the kitchen cabinets again and voila! We created a recipe for edible marshmallow Peeps play dough.

Rainbow Bunny Play

There are so many ways to play with this simple rainbow bunny game!  As I mentioned before, E loves bunnies so I purchased this game at our grocery store for $3.  You stack the bunnies on the platforms, roll the die, then try to remove the color you rolled with the little carrot hook.   The game is now marked down on clearance since Easter is over so if you hurry you can find it for even less!  I had even more educational ideas for these rabbits, though!

Easter Fun with Window Markers

It snowed again yesterday.  It seems like spring will never arrive weather wise, even though the calendar says it's here!  I can't wait to get out to playground and use our double stroller, but it's just not time yet.

To brighten up our day, we got out our Crayola window markers.  I drew eggs and we decorated them together.

It was nice to be in the natural light, even if the sun wasn't shining and it wasn't warm.  E noticed that the zig zags I drew on my Easter egg goes "down, up, down, up" like the letter W.

E loves Easter because she is a bit obsessed with bunnies.  They are her favorite animal!

As a surprise, I used the same markers to draw a bunny face on the bathroom mirror for her to find when she washed her hands!
