St Louis Family and Kid Activities from August 4 - August 10

Want to check out the best web site for families with kids in St Louis! There are so many things to find on this site: Kids Events Around Town, Kids Birthday Party Venues , Travel Tips, Kids Eat Free Restaurants , Daycares and Preschools , Kids With Special Needs and more. Here is a sneak peek of the activities for the week and some info from the site. Just go to http://www.kidsinstl.com/for the full list with details.

Educational & Interactive Activities
Songs/Music/Rhymes
Do you have a favorite song or rhyme that you use to sing with your Mom and would love to remember the words to sing with your little one? Or do you want to learn some new fun songs to share. Check out the Educational & Interactive Activities part of our site. I am sure you can find at least one song that is fun and new.

St Louis Parks, Attractions & Classes
Have you checked out our list of ‘Kid Classes’ lately? We have added so many new places that host fun, educational and healthy classes that we are sure there is one that your child would love.
Our Favorite Things
Live Butterfly Garden - This was a present for my daughter, however it is a favorite of the whole family. The garden can be used over and over, which means the learning experience never ends.
GROW-A-FROG - This company has been around so long that I actually had a Grow Frog as a kid. So I wanted to pass the fun down to my son. We bought this for my little guy a few months ago and he loves it! He is always watching and talking to that little frog.
Good Night, Sweet Butterflies: A Color Dreamland - This book has made the rounds with both my kids and it is well loved. This great book was how I taught my kids the colors.

Kids Sensory Recipes
Here is a small sample of what can be found on the Kids Sensory Recipes page.

MAGIC COAL GARDENS

1/4 cup water 1/4 cup bluing (found in the laundry section) 1/4 cup non-iodized salt 1 Tbls. ammonia
Mix all the ingredients together.Place several chunks of coal or charcoal close together in a throw away pie tin. Pour the solution over the coal.Drip food coloring onto the coal. Try to use several colors, but keep the colors separate. Leave one area without food coloring as white will grow there. Set in a safe place. Do not Touch! This will stop the growth.After two days, pour a solution of 2 Tbls. water and 2 Tbls. ammonia around the edge of the coal.It's magic!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUFF PAINT

½ Cup Flour ½Cup Salt ½ Cup Water

Food ColoringPlastic squeeze bottles
Mix flour, salt and water in a bowl. Add food coloring to get desired color. Pour into squeeze bottles. Best to use heavy paper or cardboard. Mixture will harden puffy.
