  • Never underestimate the fun you can create with a little sidewalk chalk. For our "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" ๐ŸšŒ gross motor activity I had the girls help me draw a curvy road down our driveway then they chose all sorts of vehicles to drive. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Find directions for this Pigeon activity and more summer book club fun here: ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผbit.ly/MPKSummerBookClub โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € (Or click the link in my profile and find this picture!)
  • Cake Pop Success! I've only tried cake pops a few times before and they always end up a little wonky.

  • Unicorn Pops for the win! I actually bought a really cute unicorn popsicle mold ๐Ÿง from Walmart then couldn't find it when it was time to make these yummy frozen yogurt pops... โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Luckily the girls didn't seem to mind and loved mixing up new flavors of yogurt then piping it into the molds. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Find directions for this snack and more summer book club fun here: ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผbit.ly/MPKSummerBookClub โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € (Or click the link in my profile and find this picture!)
  • Cutest little unicorn I ever did see. ๐Ÿ˜ We played this simple game of unicorn ring toss to get some energy out, and work on trusting our sister. ๐Ÿคฃ Perfect gross motor game to go along with "Not Quite Narwhal." โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Find all the details for this activity and more summer book club fun here: ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผbit.ly/MPKSummerBookClub โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € (Or click the link in my profile and find this picture!)

  • Our next book for Summer Book Club was "Not Quite Narwhal" In this adorable story a ๐Ÿฆ„ unicorn thinks he's a narwhal until he sees a unicorn just like him. After reading the book we made this unicorn fluffy slime. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € We've made slime a million times, but I've never tried fluffy slime. And let me tell you - it is a fabulous fun texture ๐Ÿคฉ and equally as easy to make as our favorite slime recipe. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Find all the details for this activity and more summer book club fun here: ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผbit.ly/MPKSummerBookClub โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € (Or click the link in my profile and find this picture!)
