Come Play With Us!
Ok, so it may seem like we are a tiny bit slimeriffic here lately at Twodaloo...but my kids are LOVING it! We've had so much fun with our galaxy slime and taste-safe slime paint that we felt compelled to make a new batch to go with our ocean theme, and it turned out just as gorgeous (if slime can be gorgeous) as our previous versions. Ocean … {read more}
Hi friends! You may have noticed that I've been a little scarce this week- I've been running a fantastic messy art camp at our cooperative preschool! It has been incredibly fun, and as a result, the twins and I are incredibly tired. However, we did muster up enough energy this afternoon to test out a new paint recipe...taste-safe slime … {read more}
Hey friends! We're back again with another fun ocean-themed sensory play idea. This one only takes three ingredients and is safe for little ones to taste (although it doesn't taste that great so doesn't encourage further nibbling), so those of you with younger tots can try this one out. Slippery Fish Taste-Safe Sensory Play Have you heard the … {read more}

Art, sensory, … {read more}
Yesterday I posted some adorable bubble snake creatures that my twins (age three) have been enjoying. Several people mentioned that their younger kiddos tended to suck in on the bubble snakes, resulting in a mouthful (or lungful) of bubble solution. As I mentioned in that post, bubble snakes are definitely not appropriate for kids that … {read more}
Today I'm sharing a quick and easy activity that the twins and I did this afternoon- we've been on quite the bubble kick lately (see our giant reusable bubbles ). This was a fantastic idea for filling up the "witching hour" between nap and when Daddy gets home from work, which makes it a winner in my book. You've probably seen bubble snakes … {read more}
After making our stretchy night sky playdough, I had several packets of unflavored gelatin hanging around the kitchen, so I've been working out some different ways to use them. I've heard of injecting gelatin with color for art and sensory play, and decided to give that a try with the twins. I'm SO glad I did- this was pretty easy to set up and … {read more}
Sometimes an activity has no other purpose than to be awesome. This one definitely falls into that category- it was an accidental discovery that was so much fun that our whole family spent an entire afternoon getting gooey together- no screens in sight. So if your family is in need of some together time, whip up a batch of these reusable bubbles- I … {read more}
