Fairies in a Jar

***USE with Adult Supervision*** 

Parent or Teacher of Preschool aged children should make it & give child chance to shake & observe. (circle time)
DIRECTIONS: 1. Cut a glow stick and shake the contents into a jar. Add diamond glitter 2. Seal the top with a lid. 3. Shake. ( glow sticks at the Dollar Tree. used a mason jar that I had left over from the Salt Art in a Jar project. )**WARNINGS AND TIPS: “Be sure to read the warning on the back of the glowstick package. The ones I used were nontoxic but will stain clothes. Also, I used glowstick necklaces with the thought that it would be easier to cut than a thick glow stick.”* idea from Beth Brunner Valdepena

This idea was found on Squish Preschool Ideas on Facebook

Shopping Spree

Nothing like walking outside and seeing a beautiful poppy plant in bloom!  This is what I saw yesterday and look at all of the other babies ready to bloom.  To think I almost pulled these plants last fall because I thought they weren't thriving.  

Last week, I had to stop at my favorite mom-and-pop nursery because they carry the most unique, healthiest plants.  Happy to discover they had the candy corn vine in stock to go on my very cool Halloween-ish metal trellis from sweet Anne.  It really does look like a piece of candy corn.

This is my kind of shopping spree!  Found some unusual begonias, coleus, papyrus, a balloon flower, herbs, stocks, heirloom tomatoes, and some trailing plants for potting.  

Perfect Hardboiled Eggs

I LOVE hardboiled eggs, HATE when the shells don't peel properly.  Not only is it an ugly egg, but most of it ends up in the kitchen sink.  This blog has the directions for making perfectly cooked hardboiled eggs that are super easy.
