[Non-Toxic] Outdoor Crafts for Toddlers

July 15, 2021

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve put out a post, because we’ve been outside playing, and exploring, and using all our non-toxic crafts. Crafting outside is extra amazing, because the fresh air and sunshine (or rain, or snow, or any weather) is good for the soul, plus…quick, easy clean up.

Sidewalk Chalk

We love the Urban Infant Non-Toxic Chunky Chalk!

Painting

The backyard is a great place for easy clean up when it comes to paint! We like using the Veggie Baby Art paint with a canvas!

Bubbles

We make homemade bubbles using:

6 cups water
1 cup natural dish soap
1/4 cup canola oil

Then, we use our Boon Toys to blow bubbles all around!

Water Table

We don’t need an excuse to play with water, and the 2Step Water Table is a perfect way. Check out our favourite non-toxic bath toys here.

Swimming Pool

Bring the bath tub outside with the Minnidip pool…the size options for these pools are no joke!!

Enjoy, Enjoy!!

I’m Lauren and I have a deep passion for music, food, the outdoors, and travel. I love random questions and fun facts, and am always searching for better ways to bring wellness and health into my life. I am the owner of Miss Lauren’s Music Studio, where I teach voice, piano, ukulele, and preschool music classes – via Skype and within Calgary. I am a Senior Consultant for Pampered Chef, which has inspired me over the years to write two cookbooks (plus one mini ebook cookbook), that have food preparation made easy in the forefront.

Our beach date turned us into icicles, but it’s okay…Collins figured out I make for a pretty good wind and blowing sand blocker.

Also, we had the beach to ourselves, because other people actually read the wind report.

What are you doing outside this weekend?!

Language is important. Solo parenting. Single pa

Language is important.

Solo parenting. Single parenting. Co-parenting. I’m curious if you say each of those out loud, what comes up for you.

I solo parent a lot. Meaning, I am parenting without my husband in town, so yes, I carry the majority of the child and household care. But even then, I know I very much have a different amount of emotional and financial support from my spouse that a single parent simply does not have. So when people say, “how is single parenting going this week?” I feel the need to mention I’m not single parenting, because I know enough single parents, that I wouldn’t compare my solo parenting situation to them. I know next week my husband will be home to share some of the load with me, and while he’s gone is able to check in on us!

I think language is so important. What other terms do we need to consider in our daily language?!

Did you hear?! We created a Foundation. I am so proud, honoured, and grateful that this is something we could do, to “build a longer table, rather than a taller fence.” And…it’s all for the kids! Everything that will come of it is all a work in progress, but I so appreciate any and all of your support. If you want to go give our page a follow, you can see all the ways in which we are aiming to support kids (and parents) in raising the next generation!

When our schedules line up to have time together…🤍 [with our little in tow]

Also highly recommend seeing the cherry blossoms when they are no longer in peak bloom…all the space to yourself!

Also, starting Alphabet Date Night/Day again this spring/summer in Calgary, so taking suggestions as of now! What can’t we miss doing in YYC?!

Another round of toilet paper talk! Remember at t

Another round of toilet paper talk!

Remember at the beginning of the season when J told my family I was no where near a (wannabe)minimalist, because the amount of toilet paper we moved from New York was outrageous? [Please also note we were one of the households that had no toilet paper in New York when toilet paper was literal gold, but I had peri bottles from postpartum and we happily made homemade bidets].

Well…it happened….I finally had to buy toilet paper again. 8 months later…🧻

When J and I were in grade 10, he kept turning aro

When J and I were in grade 10, he kept turning around to me in Math Class and asking me to come watch one of his hockey games. I kept saying something along the lines of, “No, thanks. Can you stop distracting me, please? I’m trying to get my math done.” [So he knew what he was in for when he married me]. Anyhow, one time, I must have been over the requests, and I said, “Okay, sure, ya I’ll come.” I didn’t… I never showed. I got a call from him after the game saying I owed him for my no show, and he asked if I’d come hang out with his team. I agreed if I could bring about 6 friends along. Little did I know that one day I’d make mini versions of him…🤣

This was the end of the season last year, when we

This was the end of the season last year, when we took our baby to Montauk!! We thought we’d be returning to New York, so left our house ready to come back in the fall, and then that wasn’t the case. Because we didn’t have time to scout out areas in Seattle, we decided to downsize our belongings (thank you, @anitarusso11 for being my godsend in New York), and rent an apartment for the season in downtown Seattle. Our plan was always one season to try it out. We have absolutely loveddd experiencing every inch of downtown, and experiencing apartment living with a toddler, even though having all our outdoor gear scattering around the apartment is always pure chaos!

But for next season, we have decided to bring a yard back into our lives!! So in a month, we are moving all of our stuff into storage until the fall. C has been a complete champ at rental house hunting with me, which has not been easy! Before our move in a month we still have three different groups of visitors, a long weekend trip for C and moi, and of course all the normal life things. So, basically what I’m saying is, “bring it on, April!”

Tell me something you have planned for next month, AKA 2 days away, AKA April!!

“If I could write a letter to me
and send it back in time to myself at 17… I'd end by saying have no fear, these are nowhere near the best years of your life.” - Brad Paisley

He was right…they just keep getting better with you 🤍

Also, how about that DVD collection?!
