Homemade Bath Paint (with Yogurt and Natural Colors)

Posted on March 10, 2015 Posted in Crafts, Homemade Recipes, Toddler/ Kid Stuff .
Homemade Bath Paint with Yogurt and Natural Colors - www.OddsandEvans.com

We are all about bath time fun around here.  Anything to get the toddler into the tub!  Besides these magical monthly craft foam ideas which stick to the wall, homemade bath paints are another favorite way to transition easily into bath time. I’ve tried DIY tub paints a couple of ways, but the best way (easiest and most fun) is using yogurt!  A little bit of plain yogurt in a muffin tin with some food coloring goes a long way!  And since I make my own crock pot yogurt at home (here’s how you can, too), it is super simple to always have on hand. If you’re using ready-made food coloring, I encourage you to buy those made from natural vegetable colorants, without synthetic dyes or corn syrup.  No need for kids to sit in such unnecessary ingredients, so a brand like India Tree (affiliate link if you’d like to buy it

Calming Green Play Dough Recipe with NO food coloring!

Posted on March 5, 2015 Posted in Crafts, Essential Oils, Toddler/ Kid Stuff .
Calming Green Homemade Play Dough Recipe with natural and surprising ingredients like kale and essential oils

Making your own play dough is an easy and great way to play indoors together.  It’s even better when it’s natural with ingredients safe enough to eat!*  Did you know that you can make a rainbow of colors WITHOUT using artificial food dyes?! This is our favorite homemade play dough recipe ever.  It is smooth, stays soft, therapeutic, and so quick to make.  Chances are, you could go out to your kitchen and make this right now.  You can even just do the main ingredients without the color, which I call Snow Dough. I love using natural “dyes” from foods instead of artificial colors (like I did for these naturally-colored Easter eggs or bath paints of all colors).  So what gives this lucky dough a green color? Kale!  I juiced it right in! In lieu of kale, spinach or asparagus may also work.  I haven’t tried it for play dough, but they

Naturally Dye Easter Eggs

Posted on April 21, 2014 Posted in Crafts, Holidays, Homemade Recipes .
Naturally Dyed Eggs - www.OddsandEvans.com

I am so “eggcited” how these eggs turned out!  I’m a big fan of using real colors instead of artificial (like in my green play dough recipe or homemade bath paints).  Here is how we naturally color our Easter Eggs each year. First I hard-boil a dozen eggs and let them cool completely before dying.  No special magic here…whatever method you use would work just fine.  I use regular store-bought white eggs since we don’t plan on eating them anyway.  I can’t bring myself to use my precious pastured little guys for this.  You can also use brown eggs, which will result in yet a different hue. The hardest part for me at first was planning out what I wanted to use for each color, as well as how to prep each “dye”.  You can look it up until you become blue in the face since every site seems to call for something slightly different.  So
