Firecracker Craft -Pin to Pinterest

The Fourth of July makes us POP with excitement at Simply Sprout!  A holiday filled with patriotism, outside play, family, and of course fireworks!  Fireworks and Lil Sprouts aren’t the best combination, so we’ve thought of a way for toddlers to get in on the fun!  Just in time for Independence Day you can make this kid friendly firecrackers!

 What you’ll need:

  •  Tennis ball canister
  • Red, white, and blue ribbon
  • Construction paper
  • Red, white, and blue glow sticks
  • Any additional embellishments (pom poms, sequins, stickers, etc.)
  • Glue gun

Directions:

After you have let the hot glue gun heat up (please supervise any children around a hot glue gun), make a line of glue around the bottom portion of canister.  Working with about one inch of glue at a time would be best. Place scraps of patriotic themed ribbon in the glue.  If you don’t have ribbon scraps at home you could use streamers, strips of paper, curling ribbon, etc.  Be creative!  Continue gluing ribbon from the bottom of the canister until you have made it around the entire circumference.  Take a thicker piece of ribbon and cover up the tops of the ribbon where you have already glued.  Continue wrapping the ribbon until you get to the top.  Take a piece of ribbon and make a handle by gluing the bottoms to each side of the canister.  Using the ribbon that you wrapped the canister with, circle the top portion so that ends of handle are now covered.  To make it look like an official firework, we added a cone made of construction paper to the top and decorated with sequins and such.  Now for the fun part!  Stuff your canister with red, white, and blue glow sticks (we found ours at Target for $1).  Another great idea is to fill the canisters with candy, flags, beads, or other patriotic treats for your young guests!

A creative way to let even our littlest sprouts feel festive on the Fourth of July without worrying a bit!  Have a BLAST this July 4th!  Come visit us at  www.simplysprouteducate.com.

Summer Camp Care Package
Pin to Pinterest for Later

Summer officially began this week and for a lot of kids that means it’s time to pack up the duffel bags and head off to camp. We have fond memories of all the summer time joy that goes along with sleep away camp. One of the best parts of the day was mail time in the mess hall! Your kids are sure to be happy campers with something sweet tucked in their bag and some mail to brighten their day!

Here is seven days of sweet sunshine for your camper. Fill each day with some candy or goodies and a note. They will love it!

Pin for Later

Other ways to send love from home to your campers are:

  • Postcards mailed each day with one letter written on each. By the end of their stay the message might spell something like, “I miss you!”
  • A personalized pillowcase with sweet dream messages.
  • A CD or playlist for their iPod with their favorite music.
  • A recorded message card so a camper can hear a familiar voice from home.
  • A care package of their favorite homemade baked goods.
  • A candy gram. Use the names of candy bars to write a special note

Be sure to print/download the Camp Candy Care Package Tags.

Note: This is also fun for overnight spend the nights or backyard camping. If you can’t use candy, get creative and fill the small cubes with other thoughful gifts – rings, glow-sticks, poppers, etc.

We’ve been camping all week at Simply Sprout and we’re keeping on these happy trails through the weekend! Come visit us at  www.simplysprouteducate.com.

Be sure to pick up a camping packing list at Live Life, Shop Smart – ShopRunner’s Blog.

Easter Centerpiece and Chicken & Orzo Recipe

Who wants to be in the kitchen when you could be outside enjoying the extra sunlight and spring temperatures in your neck of the woods? We’ve put together a simple one dish wonder for your family to enjoy on a weeknight or on a lazy Sunday. Since Easter is approaching, of course we had to include carrots in our recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces dried orzo
  • 2 cups fresh green beans
  • 1 whole roasted deli chicken
  • 1 8 ounce container of semisoft cheese with garlic and herbs (we used the light version)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 sliced carrots
  • 1/8 tsp of salt
  • 1/8 tsp of ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley or fresh Sage

Cooking Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart oval casserole; set aside. Cook orzo according to package directions, adding green beans during last 5 minutes of cooking; drain. Meanwhile, cut chicken in 6 pieces; set aside. In large bowl whisk together cheese and milk until combined. Add hot orzo mixture, salt and pepper; stir until coated. Stir in carrots. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Top with chicken pieces. Bake, covered, 30 to 40 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley or Sage. Six servings.

Add some chick-a-dee fun to your tabletop with this kid friendly Easter centerpiece. All that you need to complete the look is a large vase and a smaller vase to fit inside the larger one. Have your children help you count out Easter candy of your choosing (we used Peeps and Starburst jellybeans). Pour the jellybeans at the base of the larger vase, layer Peeps in rows until you’ve reached the top of the larger vase. Slide your smaller vase inside, being mindful not to damage your Peeps! Fill the smaller vase with water and your favorite springtime flower.

There you have it, a meal and a centerpiece that will have everyone hopping to the table!
