Find It!



How to make Find It bottles


You will need:


Empty plastic see through bottles (Like water or juice bottles)


A hot glue gun


Rainbow rice (see how here)


A funnel


little trinkets that will fit in the top of the bottle


A camera


How to make it:


1/. Take photos of all your trinkets! I usually do a few in each picture but you could do them each separate if you want.


2/. Place the trinkets in the bottle.


3/. Pour rainbow rice using a funnel into the bottle until at least 3/4 full


4/. Hot glue the cap on the bottle.


5/. Shake the bottle so the rice covers everything.


6/.Print off photos and make a little book so the kids know what they're looking for. If you have older kids, you could just print off a checklist. I laminate mine so they will last longer.





I'd love to see some pictures of some I-spy bottle's you've made!

Fall is here!

Fall sensory tub

I've been seeing sensory tubs for quite a while on lots of blogs but have never made one myself. Due to the fact that they looks like HEAPS of fun, I decided to make one. Check here and here to see where I got my inspiration.





I just know Channing is going to LOVE playing in it. Here is a close up of some of the goodies inside.


1/. Autumn colored rice (brown, purple, orange, yellow and burgundy).

2/. Pinecones which I found at Target for $1.

3/. Little glass pumpkins that I found at Michaels.

4/. Two tall scarecrows that I couldn't resist (also from Michaels).

5/. Little wooden ssquirrels and scarecrows that were already painted. I found these for 29 cents each at Michaels.

6/. Orange sparkly pom poms found at Jo-Ann's for $1

7/. A little toy squirrel

8/. Two fabric acorns

9/. Two little pumpkin jars that I found at target (they came in a pack of 6 for $1).

10/. Fall leaves

11/. Scoops and things Channing can pour with.


I can't wait to see his face tomorrow when he sees it. I want to play too!
