Have you ever experimented with making your own paint? That's something that happens very often in our house 😀. We try all different kind of things........ Today's experiment was with Hand Soap and Food coloring. Turned out great though. The soap added a nice scent to the paint. Worked great and washed out very easily. All we did was pour hand soap in our pain trays, add a few drops of food dye and mix well. Paint had a nice glossy shine to it. And we tested it out by painting a Fall scene. Do you see the birch trees? 😉 ~~~~~~~~~~ All photos posted here are property of Life with Me3. Photos copyrighted to Portraits by Alinda. DO not use any content without written permission.

Do It Yourself! Number Chart : 1-100 This simple number chart is fun and so easy to make. If you love creating things yourself, this will be a nice, fun and rewarding project for you. I was originally planning on taking the easy way out, and just buy him a number chart, like I previously did (he has a Numbers 1-10 Chart that I got from Amazon). But I couldn't find one of my liking, so I decided to make my own. I am happy I did. He was so happy and excited about the project, which in turn made him more interested in using the chart and learning his numbers. What I used: 22 x 28 poster board sharpie markers pencil ruler scissors stickers for decorating. (Instead of buying stickers, I printed graphics from Microsoft word and just glued them to mine). **The bubble numbers, I got online.
