This has got to be the EASIEST kids paint I have ever made! IT works great in the bathtub too!

Simple and Easy Gel Paint for Kids

I’m always looking for activities for my kids that cost me very little money, are easy, and use what I already have in my house if possible! I came up with this gel paint for kids on a whim about 8 years ago when my husband was still in college and we were as poor as church mice. My kids still love it today! The best thing about this super easy paint is that it is loads of fun in the tub too! If you are having a hard time getting your kid to take a bath, or getting them to CLEAN themselves, this paint will do the trick! It’s lots of fun and gets your kid clean at the same time! That being said, it’s also fun to use on paper, or even on sidewalks or driveways!

9 Great Ways to Keep Kids Happy in the Car!

We recently went on a road trip to California and I knew it would be a stretch for my kids to not only be happy in the car but to be NICE too. I planned ahead and looked for great ideas to help make our trip more enjoyable. In the long run, I just hoped to SURVIVE. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did. 10-11 hours each way was not very comfortable but it worked! Here are some of the ideas I used that helped us have a successful & ‘mostly happy’ trip! I’ve also added a few extras that I have found since we came home that I wish we had used!

1. Assigned seating! I purposely put certain children in specific places next to specific siblings. If you know that 2 of your children have a harder time getting along, you might want to separate them BEFORE you get on the road! I also put my oldest next to the toddler so that she could help him be happy since I was in the front.
