Playschool can get messy...

We encourage the children to learn through experience... sometimes, it gets messy. We started using homemade wipes with the kids to save on trips to the bathroom for hand washes. Here is the recipe. We've actually adopted it in our home as well (for bottoms, hands, faces, cleaning booster trays, dusting, etc.)

Take one roll of Bounty paper towel cut in half
Pull out the cardboard tube

1 Cup distilled water (boiled from kettle)
1 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp baby shampoo
4-5 drops Tea Tree oil (natural germ fighter)

Pour solution over the paper towels. Store in an airtight container or ziplock.
(an empty clean 2 kg peanut butter jar works well)

Pull from the middle.

Thanks Alicia!!

Sleeping Bunnies

This is one of the kids' favourite games/songs so we try to do it often. Here's how it goes, just in case you want to play too!!

"See the sleeping bunnies until it's nearly noon.
O how we'll wake them with our merry tune.
See how still.
Shhh
Are they ill?

Wake up sleeping bunnies.
HOP HOP HOP
Wake up sleeping bunnies.
HOP HOP HOP
Wake up sleeping bunnies.
HOP HOP HOP

AND stop."

Feel free to repeat using as many animals as your little one can think of!
