Plunger Olympic Ring Craft

Yes, you read that right!  PLUNGER!!!  We have a baby plunger that we found at the dollar store that is not used for toilets...just wanted to clarify that!  The plunger makes great circles so we made the Olympic rings with it.  


Before doing the project I wanted to discuss the history of the Olympic Rings.  So we sat down on the computer and I shower her some google images of the rings.  We pointed out each color and that every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors.  I also got a map of the world so I could point out each region because the five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.   You can make this more detailed for older kids or keep it simple with color recognition.  

In order to make the rings my daughter had to find the colors from the picture.  We did not have black paint so we used glue and black glitter.  Then my daughter would look at the picture and pick the color she needed and painted the bottom of the plunger.  The she used the plunger similar to a stamp.  We made two Olympic rings since we had enough paint on the plunger.  

We did make a mistake with the position of the green and yellow circle but I asked her what color was next and she kept going clock work instead of going back to the left hand side.  OOPS, mommy should have double checked!

What a creative idea! My daughter would go crazy for this as she is loves anything that takes art and pulls it outside of the box in terms of thinking. Thank you for pulling up a chair and sharing this on my Saturday Sit Down Link Up. I have pinned this onto my Olympics Pinterest Board.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video:   "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review:  Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.  I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
