Incense holder_2

We were in need of another incense holder, my 3 year old helped me out in this project.

We went to the park and collected some right sized rocks ( my bad I forgot to take a picture, it was fun 😄 😄)

Materials:
Glass jar (you could also repurpose jelly/jam jars)
Rocks
A small ball of play dough

Place the play dough at the bottom of the jar for base, then add rocks on the top. The rock incense holder is ready for use, stick the incense it will stay intact due to play dough base. If necessary place a plate to prevent the ash from falling all over.

Flossing teeth benefits

As we are all aware flossing is important to keep healthy oral hygiene. We all need to brush and floss. As I came across the Casa smiles thought can share this :) lets all read and refresh to maintain beautiful teeth, also spread the words to kids so that they do the same. I help my kids floss their teeth and also encourage to use the spin brush. We could show these colorful pictures/awesome words to our kids and motivate them to floss.

Awareness about Personal Hygiene & Cleanliness

Help your child learn about the ways to keep the body clean, the reasons behind, how he/she looks when clean.







In addition to talking the above,we need to talk with our kids as they grow and let them know the changes they will attain when they are teen.  This will help the kids and parents too.

Wall decor

When in US, I had bought this wall decor from Goodwill store. However it was dull and shabby, wanted to give it a new look. I had some chevron contact paper I decided to stick on the old wall decor. This is how it looked  :) and did add a charm to our dining room.
