Far out! 🌈 This kaleidoscope craft is a groovy throwback to the 1960s and 1970s (but we know it’s still very popular today) 👀
Materials
You could buy a tie-dye kit (we recommend our Color and Craft Tie Dye kit 😉), but if you prefer to use supplies already on hand, here’s what you need:
A white or light-colored T-shirt
Assorted colors of one-step fabric dye, mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions
White vinegar
Rubber gloves
Aprons or smocks
Plastic squirt bottles. You can reuse clean mustard or ketchup squeeze bottles. Measuring cups also work in a pinch.
Zip ties, hair ties, or rubber bands
Large, sealable plastic bags
Trash bags
Bucket
Plastic sheeting or tablecloths
Rags or paper towels
Directions
1. Gather your supplies.
2. Protect your workspace by laying down the tablecloths and sheeting. Wear gloves, smocks, and aprons to protect your clothes.
3. Mix fabric dye, following the step-by-step directions provided by the manufacturer.
4. Pre-soak your T-shirt in a mixture of one part vinegar and one part warm water for an hour.
5. Dye your shirt by following the instructions for your chosen pattern.
6. Place your T-shirt into a resealable plastic bag. 7. Remove the shirt after one to two hours if you prefer pastel tones. For a brighter color, allow the dye to process for at least eight hours and up to 24 hours.
8. Once the dye sets, wear your gloves and pull the shirt out of the plastic bag. Leave the rubber bands on, and rinse under a cold tap until the water runs clear.
8. Remove the rubber bands and run the shirt through the cold-water wash cycle in your washing machine to remove the excess dye.
9. Allow the shirt to air dry, or toss it into the dryer on the lowest heat setting.
10. Clean up your work area and dispose of any unused dye.
11. Your far-out DIY tie-dye T-shirt is ready for compliments!

Ooh la la! 🤤 Our French toast recipe is toast-ally yummy and teaches your child skills like measurement, recognizing numerals, and patience 😍 Grab some ingredients and show your budding chefs at home how to make French toast!
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla (don’t include if making savory French toast)
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 slices bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Toppings (syrup, whipped cream, fruit, and bacon are favorites)
Directions
1. Help kids crack the eggs into a wide, shallow bowl. (If you don’t have a shallow bowl, any bowl will do, just transfer the mixture to a dinner plate when you’re ready to start dipping.) Older kids can do this step independently, but an adult should check for eggshells before continuing.
2. Add milk, vanilla, and salt. Kids whisk until the eggs are beaten, forming a smooth mixture.
3. An adult heats a large skillet or griddle on the stovetop and melts butter on it.
4. While the pan heats, kids dip the bread slices in the batter. An adult should assist to make sure the bread is coated but not soggy. Make sure the kids wash any batter off their hands with soap and water after finishing.
5. An adult cooks the bread in the pan on medium heat until golden brown and crisp, and then flips it to cook the other side.
6. Serve warm and garnish with your kids’ favorite toppings. Bon appétit!

We lava this a lot 👀🌋🛋️ This DIY Lava Lamp experiment teaches your child scientific concepts like density and polarity. Learning how to make a lava lamp is the perfect opportunity to bring the family together and create something groovy! ✨
You’ll need:
Tools
- 1 small cup (transparent)
- 1 large cup (at least twice the size of the small cup, also transparent)
- Spoon
- Materials
- Vegetable oil (or baby oil)
- Water
- Water-based food coloring (choose your child’s favorite color)
- Soluble vitamin C tablet
- Flashlight
Directions
- Start by filling the small cup with oil and half of the large cup with water. Older kids can likely do this step independently, but young kids will need adult supervision and assistance.
- Have your child add a few drops of food coloring to the cup of water and stir it with a spoon. The color should thoroughly combine with the water.
- Next, pour the oil on top of the water. Let your kid stir the mixture with their spoon and observe what happens. The oil should float while the water beads up and sinks to the bottom of the cup.
- Finally, give your child the vitamin C tablet and let them drop it into the water-and-oil mix. In just a few moments, the cup will “erupt” with colorful bubbles. Shine a flashlight at the concoction, and your family will have a DIY lava lamp! Once the bubbles die down, repeat the experiment with the rest of the vitamin C tablets to your young scientist’s content.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
These sugar cookies are the sweetest way
To say I love you 🫶🏻
Happy Valentine’s Day! 🍬🍪♥️
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup softened unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Colorful sprinkles (optional)
Icing Ingredients
- ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2–3 teaspoons milk
- 1–2 drops food coloring (optional)
Directions
1. Place all cookie ingredients into a bowl. Help kids combine by hand until the mixture forms a dough. (If the dough seems too crumbly, add up to 1 tablespoon of additional milk and continue to mix.)
2. Turn the dough onto a work surface (such as a cutting board or counter) and help kids flatten it into a disk approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) thick. Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
3. While the dough chills, an adult preheats the oven to 375°F (191°C).
4. When the dough is ready, kids roll it out on a floured work surface until it’s ¼ inch (1 centimeter) thick. Help them use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
5. Kids place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. An adult puts the cookies into the oven to bake for 7–9 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges.
6. An adult removes the tray from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Next, kids make the icing by stirring the ingredients together in a small bowl.
8. Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, help kids dip them in the icing, face down. (They can also use a silicone brush or the back of a spoon to spread the icing on the cookies.)
9. Top the cookies with sprinkles while the icing is still wet, then set them aside to let the icing harden.
