Make brushing more fun with Minions!

My kids love it whenever the mailman, courier or any messenger arrives at the house. They go running out to greet the person and excited to see what he has in store for us. They come in saying "Mommy, mommy! We have mail!" ... even with bills (they get excited over those as well).

Last night this arrived...

The bubble wrap was in the way. But they can see through it and their excitement was threatening to bubble over. Once I took out the wrapper, they started shouting and jumping up and down. They kept saying, "what's inside?! what's inside?!"

I opened it.  The look in their faces! It was like Christmas all over again. Just like me, they like unboxing anything. 

It had a Colgate's Minions toothbrush and toothpaste. We got the oral care pack for 2-5 year old . My youngest got the toothbrush. The toothpaste was for later.

The kids were all too happy to go brush their teeth after dinner. My eldest was looking forward to how the flavor tasted. There's an oral pack also for 5-9 years old which we will be getting very soon. All smiles coming out of the bathroom.

Anika especially loves that it had suction cups at the bottom. brushing doesn't have to be difficult. it just has to be fun.  

Num Noms and The Cravings for Lip Balm

My daughters have always had an eye for doing projects or crafts. Their interest range from science projects...

To the good old reliable clay....

Following instructions to a tee to build structures...

And stimulating their creative juices by creating their own works of art...

Now that they're growing ever faster, they want to do more. 

Num Noms are such a hit with them. They can't get enough of it. Until one day, a eureka moment! They asked if they can possibly make their own lip balm. 

Here we have a step by step way of how they made their own lip balm.

You will need the following:

1. melted Petroleum Jelly - 1 big spoonful heated in the microwave

2. Tang (strawberry flavor is their fave)

3. Water - just enough to dissolve the powdered juice

4. Containers - even unused contact lens containers!!!

We are still far from the consistency of Num Noms but it was still loads of fun making it. They have tried making lip balm with any powdered juice they get their hands on even ice tea! They still like the classic flavors though. 

Ready for the next project.
