Lolo’s Lemonade Playdough

How adorable is the presentation of this Lemon Scented play dough. The shame is that even at just $1 no one wanted to buy it so it was all given away. Want to know more about the Lolo Lemonade Stand then check out the blog LoLovie.

My daughter has bugged me for a Lemonade stand since she read a book that featured it. Last Christmas she sat outside selling handmade Christmas cards and spicy nuts. Her piggy bank grew to $30 but her ideas grew bigger. I have since had to calm her desire to sell anything/everything out on the street. She once packaged up a heap of copyrighted magazine pages and wondered why I would not let her sell them. Instead Grandma bought all her supply and kept the plagiarism secret in the family.

Playdough Learning Activities

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
