Did you know that developing new fears is a totally normal part of early childhood? 🎃 As their imagination grows, so do their fears—especially around Halloween when everything’s a bit spookier!

That’s why I created this Halloween-themed calm down basket. It’s full of tools to help kids express their fears in a fun and practical way.

This self-serve color mixing station was the star of the show at our play date with 11 kids 5 years old and under. Highly recommend these water dispensers for outdoor play!

Ok, it looks a little crazy, but it really works!

My mom got these full-face snorkeling masks for my 3 and almost 5 year olds and I thought they looked a little intimidating at first. I thought no way (1) will my kids put those on and (2) will it actually work. So, ya, my jaw dropped to see them legit swimming around basically snorkeling in the pool. They could breathe, see, swim, and it wasn’t getting any water inside.

I had to share with you because I never saw anything like this and even if I did I probably wouldn’t have thought it would be this successful. Definitely a must for your next tropical family trip (or just to have for swimming in the pool).

I like to call this one the Gabby Cat Surprise, but really you could hide any small object or figurine that would fit inside the reusable water balloons.

And if you don’t have reusable water balloons, what are you waiting for? They are a summer staple for sure!

The ones we have don’t have magnets but close like an Easter egg and came with a launcher.

Skip the traditional egg dye and try decorating Easter eggs by spraying tissue paper (make sure it is bleeding tissue paper). Works on craft or real eggs, but transfers better to real eggs.
