Spin the Bottle: A Fun Family Conversation Starter

Mariah — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:01:37 PST

The following is by contributor Mariah Bruehl of Playful Learning.

How was your day at school? How many of us have asked this question to our children and received an ambiguous and uninformative response?

As parents we have an innate desire to connect with and understand our children, yet it can often seem difficult to come up with the right question at the right time.

The bottom line is sometimes we need a little help.

Family Conversation Starters

I have found that when you turn it into a game, children are often more willing to open up and take the time to ponder and thoughtfully answer the questions at hand. While there are a lot of innovative ways to bring about meaningful conversations, we recently tried a new (family friendly) take on the old classic game of spin the bottle.

Start out by preparing some questions and prompts. Try to incorporate some of the concepts you have been exploring as a family. Some hot topics in our household lately have been related to being courageous, standing up for friends, and expressing gratitude. Over time the conversation starters can evolve and correspond with the various social and emotional issues that come up during the course of our daily lives.

It is helpful to use these light-hearted family times to explore the bigger concepts and issues that may be harder to discuss when emotions are running high. That little bit of distance can create a safe (neutral) environment where children feel comfortable talking about the things that matter most to them.

Here are some of the conversation catalysts we used…

Share a time in your life when you have been courageous.

Share a time when you overcame a fear.

Share a time when you helped someone.

Share a time when you witnessed someone in your family help another person.

What is something special about you?

What is something special about another person in this group?

Name three things that you are grateful for.

If you could make three wishes, what would they be?

What is one thing you could do to make the world a better place?

Talk about a time that you have stood up for yourself.

Talk about a time that you have stood up for someone else.

Print out the prompts that you created and put them in a bag or basket. There is something thrilling about choosing an unknown question that children get very excited about. Take turns spinning the bottle. Whoever the bottle points to is the person who chooses a piece of paper and responds.

It helps to keep in mind that these are just conversation starters. Make the most of each person’s turn by asking clarifying questions and sharing your own similar experiences. You never know what direction the conversation will take.

Children long to be listened to and the most valuable gift parents can give them is undivided attention, so go with the flow and enjoy!

More inspiration for family conversations…

How do you get the conversation going with your kids?

Shake, Rattle, and Roll (Ages and Stages: Babies)

Kara — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:01:42 PST

The following post is by editor Kara Fleck.

Mia is six months old. Can you believe it? At this age she is starting to become a bit more self aware, especially as it relates to cause and effect and her own power in this regard. This means rattles and shakers are a big hit right now.

One of my favorite things is the expression of happiness on Mia’s face when she realizes that she is the one creating the noise with the rattle, that she is causing it. That means rattles and shakers are some of this mama’s favorite toys right now, too.

Rattles and Shakers

Homemade

We’ve made shakers for Mia out of items from around the house.

I made a simple shaker out of a small gift box. I filled it with dried beans and glued the lid on. This box is made of cardboard, so I do have to watch very carefully to make sure Mia doesn’t suck on the box and break down the cardboard and accidentally swallow any or choke, but she really seems to enjoy having a shaker of this size and shape.

I have also made shakers from an empty water bottle and from empty plastic spice bottles. I put dried beans and rice inside and secure the lids. Mia alternates between wildly shaking and slowly turning the bottles over to watch the beans move inside.

Note: If you do this, please use common sense and always keep the safety of your baby in mind. Be on the lookout for choking hazards and be sure lids are secure. I recommend always supervising baby during shaker/rattle play with homemade toys. Let’s be extra cautious and extra safe, okay?

For Valentine’s Day, I plan to needle felt a jingle ball for baby Mia. I think she’ll love the feel of this (I’ll let you know how it goes and make a video if you guys would like to see how I do it).

Purchased

Over the years we have purchased rattles for our babies, too. One of our favorites, and our babies’ as well, is the Haba Kringle Ring. It is brightly colored and wooden and fits easily into baby’s hand.

For Floor Play

Some of our favorite rattles are for floor play. As Mia pushes and rolls them, they make a noise she enjoys and encourage forward motion as she follows them to push them again (and again) to hear the noise.

We have two rainsticks for this, but again, Mia’s favorite is the one that she can see inside of and watch the tiny pieces move around. I like the rainsticks because they are a toy that will grow with her: for now she can roll them around on the floor, later, when she is sitting and standing, she’ll be able to turn them over to make them “rain.”

Remember, too, that you don’t have to purchase or even make a rattle or a shaker to keep your baby happy. I bet you have items around your home right now that would delight a baby with their rattling and shaking. Mia is often entertained by our measuring cups and measuring spoons.

What are your baby’s favorite things to shake, rattle, and roll?

Simple Valentine’s Day Celebrations

Kara — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:01:49 PST

The following post is by editor Kara Fleck. It originally appeared February 2011.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I’ve written before about how I believe we should always be telling our kids we love them, and showing them with more than our words, as well.

However, I also enjoy that a day has been set aside just for the purpose of celebrating love and I like the idea of an extra-special “love day.”

Like many of you, I’m thinking about budget-friendly but fun things that I can do for the holiday that will make my kids smile. Celebrations don’t have to be expensive or extravagant to make the day a memorable one.

In fact, it is often the little things that children remember and talk about from year to year. Those are the memories they carry with them into adulthood.

Here are a few simple ideas for Valentine’s Day …

Be Colorful

Reds and pinks are the colors of the day.

Get dressed in red and/or pink.
Set the table with a colored tablecloth – Do you have any red dishes? Cups or coffee mugs?
Decorate with red and pink paper hearts.
Make some pink and red Valentine’s Day play dough.
Make red or pink smoothies (we keep frozen strawberries and cherries on hand just for pink smoothies.)
Write a love note in red crayon.

Heart Shaped

Draw a heart on the mirror with a dry erase marker.
Watercolor sheets of paper with reds and pinks and, once dry, cut out paper hearts.
Make “stained glass” hearts by layering crayon shavings between two layers of waxed paper and ironing on low heat (be careful! This is a good “grown ups only” project)
Cut their morning toast or afternoon sandwich bread into a heart shape with a large cookie cutter.
Cut hearts out of newspaper and make garlands.
Bake heart shaped cookies.

Do Some Crafting Together

Color pictures together – what can you make with just red and pink crayons?
Do some paper folding. The Toy Maker has some neat things to make for Valentine’s Day.
Make some red and pink paper chains, use them to decorate.
Draw with white crayon on water color paper and then paint over it with a wash of water color paint, creating resist paintings.
Cut shapes from felt and make some pictures.
Make some tissue paper roses with pipe cleaner stems.

Other Ideas

Cook a special meal together. Perhaps eating dinner by candle light?
Write a love note to your child, telling them why they are so special to you.
February weather permitting, take a walk together. Talk to each other, and be sure to really listen, too.
Have dry sidewalks or a snow free driveway? Get out the sidewalk chalk and create a GIANT Valentine.

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day? In what simple ways will you celebrate and spend time with your kids?

Fun and Simple Bookmark Crafts for Kids

AmyA — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:01:41 PST

The following post is by contributor Amy Anderson of Let’s Explore.

We are bookworms around here – and proud of it! We tend to have many books in progress, and we never seem to have enough bookmarks. Not to mention all the crafts and recipes the girls like to mark for future projects. I was getting tired of grabbing receipts and junk mail to mark our spots. It was time for bookmark craft camp!

Here are three of our favorite bookmark projects. They are fun and easy to make, and the results are lovely and unique. Bookmarks make great gifts, too! One of our favorite birthday gifts for friends is a carefully chosen book accompanied by a handmade bookmark.

Okay, fellow bookworms, let’s get crafting!

1. Rainbow-Stitched Felt Bookmarks

Photo by Amy Anderson

With a few colors of embroidery floss and a strip of felt, your child can sew a colorful stitched bookmark. We used a simple up-down running stitch to make lines of color across our bookmarks. No need for perfect stitches here – the imperfections just add to the charm!

Photo by Amy Anderson

I was in charge of needle-threading and knotting, but the girls handled all the sewing. By the end of our project, they were hand-stitching with confidence!

My girls were able to complete these bookmarks in less than an hour and were quite proud of their sewing. They are planning to make (many) more, maybe with zigzags or circles next time.

2. Collage Word Bookmarks

Photo by Amy Anderson

I loved making these word collage bookmarks, maybe even more than my kids did! These are quite simple to make – all you need is some colored paper, a stack of magazines or catalogs that are headed for the recycle bin, and a glue stick.

Decide on the words for your bookmark and start cutting out letters. To set your kids up for success, cut out a few letters in advance and pull out a bunch of pages that have interesting lettering. My girls liked doing a bit of letter hunting and cutting, but they also got a little impatient looking for hard-to-find letters.

These will take a trip through the laminating machine to help them last a little longer. (Clear Contact Paper would work, too.) I’m thinking a short quote would look really cool made out of magazine letters – maybe for Mommy craft time?

3. Artwork Bookmarks

Photo by Amy Anderson

Any piece of your child’s artwork can be turned into a bookmark masterpiece. Process-style art – finger painting, bubble-wrap printing, or crayon scribbling – makes especially colorful and striking bookmarks. Here’s one of our favorite art projects, that also happens to make beautiful bookmarks:

Watercolor & Salt Painting

My girls recently collaborated on a watercolor painting. They started with wet paper, then added swirls, puddles, and dots of bright watercolors. When they were finished painting, they sprinkled salt over the entire paper. As the salt dries, it soaks up some of the watercolor, leaving interesting and unique designs. My 9-year-old calls this “a masterpiece in minutes!”

Photo by Amy Anderson

When the painting was dry, we brushed off the salt and cut our painting into bookmarks. We had plenty to keep, and a few to share, too.

I’m happy to say that we now have a stash of bookmarks in the living room, as well as more in our bedrooms. I love sitting down in the evening, opening my book, and seeing one of my girls’ mini masterpieces holding my place.

Happy crafting & reading!

We’re always looking for more family read-alouds to add to our list. What’s on the top of your read-aloud stack right now?

5 Techniques to Inspire Healthy Food Choices in Your Child’s Diet

Christen — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:01:36 PST

The following post is by Christen Babb and originally appeared February 2010. Also, don’t forget about Nicole of Simple Organic’s From Pinterest to Real Life link up. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Many parents struggle to teach their children healthy eating habits, especially in today’s world laden with overly processed, heavily sweetened foods.

It used to be so easy. As a baby, junior gobbled up his vegetables to his little heart’s content. You were certain he would happily snack on organic carrot sticks while his preschool buddies scarf down snack cakes. However, as he’s establishing greater independence, he’s beginning to turn his nose to healthy choices.

So, what’s a mom to do? First of all, take heart knowing you are not alone. Establishing healthy eating habits takes a lifetime. It’s a continuous journey involving creativity, gentle persistence, and encouragement. Listed below are some ways to successfully implement healthy food habits that carry into adulthood.

1. Start Early
2. Make It a Game
3. Be a Role Model
4. Use Consistency and Gentle Perseverance
5. Offer Non-Food Rewards

1. Start Early

The most important step to creating healthy food choices is starting early. It’s important to offer a wide variety of nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables starting in infancy, perhaps even flavors and textures that are unfamiliar to you. I am personally an advocate of homemade baby food. It tastes better, costs significantly less, creates less environmental waste ,and you control the ingredients.

However, whether you choose to feed your baby homemade baby food, conventional store-bought food, or a combo of the two – consistently offer him a wide variety of nutrient dense foods, steering away from sweet treats for the first year. Your child’s tastes are developed early in life. The earlier the exposure to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, the more apt he will be to eat them later in life.

2. Make it a Game

I’ve never been into the “deceptive” technique of sneaking vegetables into your child’s diet. It’s seems a little, well, deceptive. As a parent, it’s important to teach honesty and integrity in all walks of life. This includes making healthy food choices.

Fresh fruits and vegetables come in a wide variety of colors and delicious flavors. Instead of sneaking spinach into a pan of brownies (yes, this is recommended by some nutritionists) why not use food as a teaching tool – encouraging children to eat foods that represent all the colors of the rainbow? We recommend using a fun chart like this Nutrition Checklist.

This exercise encourages children to make healthy food choices while also providing a guideline for parents to ensure optimal nutrition. For example, if your child eats a serving of spinach, have him check off one green box in the vegetable category. Do this after every snack time or meal so he soon associates healthy eating with positive parental feedback.

3. Be a Role Model

As much as we hate to admit it, children imitate their parents’ behavior. If you yell and scream at your child, he will eventually yell and scream back at you. The same principles are true for food . You can’t expect your child to happily eat his broccoli while you scarf down a plate full of french fries.

As parents, we need to be role models who inspire healthy food choices. If your child sees you consistently making healthy food choices, he is more apt to do the same.

4. Use Consistency and Gentle Perseverance

If you have a picky eater, do not expect overnight change. Children can learn to eat healthy foods, but it can take eight to ten tries. The key is not to use force. Force will ensure in your child’s mind that healthy food must be bad .

Instead, let your child consistently help you with meal planning, grocery shopping, and even the food preparation if he is old enough. This allows a choice in the matter, and he will be more apt to eat the foods that included his input. If your child is still belligerent, be persistent and encourage him to eat only as many bites as he is old. For example, ask your three year old to eat only three bites of broccoli.

If your child still refuses, let him go hungry. This sounds harsh, but he won’t starve. If the healthy food is replaced with something he prefers, he quickly learns that persistent refusal ends in his favor. Don’t give in. It will only harm him in the long run.

5. Offer Non-Food Rewards

Let’s be honest. Most of us prefer double-chocolate cake over a plateful of steamed broccoli. It doesn’t matter how often you eat the broccoli. Human taste buds are genetically wired to prefer sweet foods. It is the same with our children. Even breast milk and infant formula are quite sweet, so our little ones begin life with a predisposition for sweet foods.

With this in mind, it’s important not to provide sweet rewards for healthy eating. Every parent (I’m included!) has been guilty of saying something like, “Aimee, you may have a cupcake for dessert if you finish all your broccoli.” We bribe our children to eat their vegetables, thinking that if they eat their broccoli enough times, they will eventually do so without negotiation. This is not an effective way to teach healthy food choices, as Aimee will eventually assume the cupcake is superior to the broccoli because it is used as a reward.

Instead of sweet treats, offer physically active rewards – such as extra playtime with mommy or friends, a fun day at the park, or a new CD so they can dance to the music. Get creative and implement your child’s unique personality into his rewards.

And for the record, there is nothing wrong with sweet treats on occasion. Some of my best memories as a kid involve baking goodies with my mom. Just avoid using them as a bartering tool. Enjoy them for what they are in moderation, and your child will eventually learn to have an appreciation for all foods!

What Healthy foods do your kids love? What foods are more challenging to get them to eat? What techniques do you use to get your children to eat healthy foods?

The Beauty of a Playlist (Cool Kids Rock!)

Jennifer — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:04:55 PST

The following is by contributor and music reviewer Jennifer Brown.

This month I wanted to give you a surefire winner, something you could count on to immediately improve your personal music library. Then of course I realized that there’s no such thing as one size fits all when it comes to music. We all have our own personal tastes and opinions, and while I do my best to find those gems that will make parent’s ears happy—our ears are not all created equal.

So…I decided I would give you my best of three albums to kick off our new year of music together at Simple Kids. Simply because just as our ears aren’t created equal, all tracks on any one particular album aren’t created equal either.

In our house, we’ve compiled the following selections performed by contemporary artists into a playlist we lovingly call Cool Kids Rock.

The Cool Kids Rock Playlist

For the Kids

I’ll start with “For the Kids,” a various artists compilation album, which now has three versions. Our personal favorites come from album one, but you may want to check the others out to see what they have to offer. Your kids are going to love “The Hoppity Song”—it’s great for getting the wiggles out.

Mahna Mahna by CAKE
La La La La Lemon by Barenaked Ladies
I’ve Got To Be Clean by Guster
The Hoppity Song by John Ondrasik
It’s All Right To Cry by Darius Rucker
Sing by Ivy
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Raine Maida & Chantal Kreviazuk

Mary Had a Little Amp

My next group of songs comes from a terrific little gem called “Mary Had a Little Amp,” a benefit CD released in 2004 from which the proceeds go to the People For the American Way Foundation’s Start Smart America program. We’re loving these tunes from some artists you may already find in your adult music rotation. My husband, a huge Dave Matthews fan, has been known to sing along with “Sing Along.”

Pure Imagination by Maroon 5
We Walk by R.E.M.
Rainbow Connection by Dixie Chicks
Sing Along by Blue Man Group featuring Dave Matthews
The 3 R’s by Jack Johnson
Anchovie by Moby
Wild, Wild Party in the Loquat Tree by Indigo Girls
How to Be Strong by Roseanne Cash
When You Wish Upon a Star by Joe Henry
Teach Your Children by Graham Nash

Muppets: The Green Album

Finally, we just picked up a new album over the holidays: “Muppets: The Green Album.” I really planned to love every track on this album, in full disclosure I’m a huge Muppet fan. But I found, while there’s nothing really wrong with any of the tracks on the album, I ended up choosing a handful of songs that would get more playing time on the playlist . The following tracks are the ones that made me want to sing along. The rest of the album is what I’d classify as a little more mellow.

Movin’ Right Along by Alkaline Trio
Muppet Show Theme Song by OK Go
Bein’ Green by Andrew Bird
Our World by My Morning Jacket

I also have to say I enjoy The Fray’s version of “Mahna Mahna” and Weezer and Haley Williams’ “The Rainbow Connection.” They are totally interchangeable with the versions I previously mentioned.

All of these songs can be found and sampled on Amazon (“Mary Had a Little Amp” is not available on iTunes). You can also check out the creative antics of the Blue Man Group featuring Dave Matthews on You Tube.

What other songs would you include on your Cool Kids Rock playlist?
