The Disney Family Fun website is all set for Easter! They have a ton of Easter Crafts and activities up right now! Here are a few of them that caught my eye!
Sheep Egg: Courtesy of hard-boiled eggs, vibrant egg dye, a cute pipe cleaner stand, and some glued-on details (paper ears, pom-pom nose, and so on), this critter is an Easter favorite.
Sock Hop: Make your own bunny beanbag and get some use from the single socks left behind.
Pop-up Eggs: Make your Easter extra festive with this 3-D paper egg. The secret to its look is colorful, accordion-folded paper strips.
Egg Garden: Turn your Easter eggs into a blooming centerpiece for the table with these flowering pedestals.
The Great Egg Drop: Kids construct protective coverings around raw eggs before dropping onto a target below. The goal is to hit the bull’s eye without breaking the eggs – making a little bit of a mess and a lot of fun memories!
Keep watching for more posts with Easter Crafts and Activities!
I’m always on the look out for products that are fun to use as educational tools. I was looking for a globe to use with the girls when I was approached to review the Hugg-A-Planet products. What could be better than a globe that the kids can actually play with! They can carry it, squeeze it, throw it and even sleep with it if they like. As a matter of fact, it has been slept with at our house.
It is such an awesome tool for education, that it is actually traveling through space right now! Isn’t that cool? Since it is constructed as soft material, it makes a great globe for keeping on hand in space. Check out this video.
Thursday November 5th 5 2009 at 10:00 am EST was the debut of being in orbit and shared with the world as part of the 10th annual celebration of International Education Week. The video I posted about shows how they soar in to land the Space Shuttle by using Hugg-A-Planet to demonstrate. My girls were thrilled to watch this video and see a “toy” they have up in space!
The Hugg-A-Planets will make a full orbit around the Earth every 90 minutes on the Space Station. They will stay there for as long as the space station remains active, at least till 2016, and will orbit the Earth 5860 times every year!

Lauren is 5 now and math has sparked her interest. She is counting her toys, grouping things that are alike, practicing subtraction with her food, asking what time it is and asking about money!
Money really interests her. I was thrilled to be able to review theMunchkin Math DVD called Counting Money. It is aimed at ages 3-9 and both my 3 year old and 5 year old were very interested in it. Lauren retained everything she watched the very first time.
She searched the house for spare change, gathered everything she could find. She began sorting the change into groups and then went on to explain to me what they were all called. I was pretty much amazed at how quickly she absorbed the information from the DVD and has held on to it.
I definitely think the series would be great for any child to help them learn and I plan on getting the Telling Time DVD as well.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Munchkin Math and received a sample DVD to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
