Plant Magical Jelly Beans



 

 

Plant Magical Jelly Beans

Sarah at Raining Hot Coupons had such a cute idea for planting Magical Jelly Beans and waking up to an Easter Surprise!

Plant your Magical Jelly Beans in a coffee cup wtih your kids on Easter Eve before they go to bed. After they are asleep, take the Magical Beans out and replace with an Easter Lollipop!

They will wake up on Easter Morning to a great surprise!

I love how she used crushed up oreos for the dirt…lol.

Thanks, Raining Hot Coupons!

Cut pink and white felt for the ears of the bunny

Great DIY Sink Extender for Kids!



Great DIY Sink Extender for Kids!

Tania found this pin on Pinterest and we just thought it was great!

I really could have used a sink extender when my guys were little and this wouldn’t have costed anything!

How to Create Sink Extender:

  • Cut an ‘X’ in the bottom of a plastic bottle (keeps the bottle from moving around)
  • Next, cut the top off and along the side as shown.

I would be sure to take some fine grain sandpaper to make sure the edges are not sharp for those curious little fingers.

Homemade Instant Oatmeal Recipe



 

Homemade Instant Oatmeal Recipe

All of our kids love flavored instant oatmeal in the mornings and I like that it is healthy for them! And now, this recipe is a great way to save too!

You can make this for your busy mornings, for when you are camping or even in a hotel microwave!

Homemade Instant Oatmeal Recipe

Add approximately 3 – 4 tablespoons hot water or microwave as you would your instant oatmeal packs. You can  make it ahead of time and pack in a hefty baggie so everything is all measured out. For a diet version just omit the milk and switch to Domino light sugar. You likely won’t notice the difference.

Thanks, Family Frugal Fun!
