Friday Fun: Ice drip painting

Every Friday we feature some fun things to do for the weekend here at Progressive Parenting, Conscious Caregiving. What are your plans for the weekend? Here are a few ideas for you and your family. Feel free to add your own in the comments.

Try drip-painting on ice together.

Make your own wind chimes with this fun idea from Popular Mechanics.

Try the Virtual Book Club at Reading Confetti! Just read the featured book or author and do an activity based on the book, then blog about it and link back to the book club to participate.

Hoping to bake with some toddlers this weekend? Here is the perfect easy chocolate cookie recipe from Homegrown & Healthy.

Want something a little more grown-up? Try this caramel apple mousse cake. Mmm…

Got sugar pumpkins (or even canned pumpkin) on hand? Try these 9 fall and Thanksgiving recipes featuring pumpkins for kids from Kiwi Crate.

Make some art in the style of Georgia O’Keefe per Painted Paper.

Use bubble wrap to insulate your house! I love this idea from Redbeet Mama.

Dress up in fancy clothing just because and make some appetizers to eat. Hang up art like you’re in a fancy gallery while you’re at it! For your apps, make some tiny pigs in a blanket, cream cheese on crackers with meats and cheeses, or these scrumptious mozzarella and basil bites.

Embellish picture frames, candle holders, welcome mats and anything else you like with Dollar Store pebbles.

Make a super easy fall wreath with preschoolers. Add embellishments or make it out of mixed media for older kids.
