It's Playtime 4/21

Welcome to this weeks It's Playtime play date!
Are you ready to play?

I share hosting with three other wonderful sites this week.  Take a moment and check out their featured articles from last weeks It's Playtime!

The Imagination Tree- Royalty

Quirky Momma- Gardening with Preschoolers

hands on: as we grow- activities for little hands

Earth Day is on Friday and my kids and I have been busy reusing and recycling this past week.  On Saturday, they designed beautiful Egg Shell Sculptures saved from our breakfasts.  The base was an old cracker box.  

I've personally been saving boxes for art, plastic bottles for our future water wall, and containers (i.e. parmesan cheese, cornstarch, etc.) for sensory play.  

Some of our friends at It's Playtime shared these Earth Day themed activities at last weeks play date:

Earth Day Activities: An Amazing Child

8 Recycled Projects for Earth Day: The Chocolate Muffin Tree

Trashy Tuesday: 2 Liter Soda Bottles: Getting Messy with Ms Jessi
