Hi, and welcome! I'm TurkeyMom, a mom of two girls, and Fun Littles is where I've shared what we made, mixed, squished and painted together since 2012, when this little blog started out as BlogMeMom.
They were little when we started, and they loved everything: wildlife, building, science, pretend play, art and crafts. Every activity here is one we actually did together, at our kitchen table, messes and all.
Both girls are in high school now. The play dough and slime days are behind us, but the ideas are still being used every day by parents, grandparents, caregivers and a lot of teachers.

Cook quick tapioca boba pearls, tint them with gel food color, and float them in a shallow tub of water. They make a non-toxic look-alike for vase-filler water beads.
