There are many great things about making costumes with your kids. It promotes family bonding. It helps build creativity.

This crumpled paper fall tree is a simple art activity that incorporates a sensory element for toddlers and preschoolers that allows for hands on creating.
I love planning crafts and art activities that focus more on the process instead of the end result. In my experience, I have found that toddlers and preschoolers thrive on simple set ups when it comes to art.
This makes the experience positive for everyone involved!
For this activity, you will need:
I love incorporating sensory elements into our every day play. To add to our art experience, we decided to mix spices to our paint and create a “scratch and sniff” autumn tree.
To begin with, we chose our spices from our kitchen. We used cinnamon, cocoa powder, nutmeg and vanilla.
I pre-measured the spices in cupcake liners and had my three year old pour them into the paint and stir, which he loved. It is also great hand and eye coordination practice!
After the paint and spices were mixed, I asked a few questions to stimulate my child’s senses.
“What does this smell remind you of?”
“What is your favorite smell?”
“Does it smell spicy or sweet?”
Once we had the paint mixed, I decided to use crumpled paper in place of paintbrushes for our trees.
I had my three year old rip a single piece of paper into three parts.
Ripping paper is an excellent fine motor activity and toddlers love it!
Also check out this cute torn paper tree craft!
I then encouraged him to crumple and squeeze each piece into a small ball, explaining that these would be our paintbrushes.
Once we had our three paper balls, we were ready to paint!
He enjoyed using a dip and sponge method verses paint strokes.
After he had most of the paint on his plate, I encouraged him to use a mix of rhythms in his sponging by calling out “fast or slow”.
He loved the anticipation of what I would call out next!
After his paper plate had dried, I drew a simple tree trunk on a white piece of paper. If you have an older preschooler, they may like to do this themselves.
I glued the paper plate to the tree trunk on the paper to complete our art.
Once it was hung, he loved going back and forth to his tree, scratching the “leaves”so he could smell them!

Cold and Flu season is upon us and unfortunately, that means that fever season is too. Fevers are not fun for anyone but are especially hard for infants. They are too young to understand why they feel the way they do and as parents we just want to see our children get better the fastest way possible. Which usually involves some sort of medication. However, giving medication to an infant can be tricky. So today we are partnering with FeverAll® to talk about 5 Tips For Handling Fevers In Infants.
When you have a sick infant everything stops. You want to comfort them and make them feel at ease. Sometimes you don’t really know where to start so we are here to help. Here are some tips for managing fevers in infants and helping get your child back to their normal self in no time!
It’s the middle of the night and your child’s wakes with a fever. You run to the medicine cabinet only to find you don’t have any so you rush to the nearest drugstore open late at night only to get there and be confused what to get and give your child. Does that sound familiar? Sure it does!
Instead of those late-night trips to the store or second guessing if the medication (and dose) is correct for your child, just keep FeverAll stocked in your home. Why? Let me explain…
FeverAll® Acetaminophen Suppositories is the only acetaminophen brand with dosing instructions for children as young as six months of age. It is a great alternative for parents for when their infants and toddlers can’t or won’t take oral medication due to vomiting, nausea, fussiness or other health issues. FeverAll® is the only national brand of acetaminophen in suppository form and is available in three strengths for children from 6 months to 12 years of age.
Did you know that Acetaminophen is one of the most recommended non-prescription medications by healthcare professionals – including pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners – for temporary fever reduction and relief of minor aches and pain in infants and children? It’s true!
FeverAll® Infants’ Strength Suppositories (80 mg of acetaminophen) is the only acetaminophen product available with dosage instructions for children as young as six months of age. No second guessing and no messing up when you are sleep deprived too!
So before the fever hits your home, stock up on FeverAll. You can them at your local Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens and Walmart stores. You can also learn more about FeverAll on their website here, watch their new video and find them socially on Facebook and Instagram.
Use FeverAll® only as directed. If you have specific questions about fever, acetaminophen or using FeverAll, speak with your child’s pediatrician. FeverAll Acetaminophen Suppositories are available at major retailers and drugstores across the U.S, such as Walmart, Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens. For more information and current offers, visit www.FeverAll.com.
