FREE Trio Car from Fisher Price!

by FCL on September 2, 2010

Get your little one a fun Trio car to play with for FREE!  This would be a good little stocking stuffer to put up for the holidays.  Get yours HERE.

Just as a note of personal endorsement, we have these blocks and LOVE them.  They click together so they stay together better than the Lego Duplo but they’re not quite as small as the super small Legos.  And they come with all kinds of shapes.  We found ours at Target!

Lands End has some of their outerwear on sale from last season! These are all in the overstocks section.

Check out the Kids’ ThermaCheck® 200 Fleece Hooded Jacket, item # 38301-16H1 for just $14.99 ($34.50) or the Kids’ Sport ThermaCheck® 300 Fleece Full-zip Jacket, Item # 38316-16H2 for just $16.99 (from $59.50). They come in multiple colors for boys and girls.

I find that where we are in Florida, fleece is actually the best all-around jacket – that and vests. It doesn’t get cold enough for those big, heavy jackets.

If you liked Beehave a week or so ago; but weren’t able to get anything, it’s back!  I think these are all different clothes but they’re still just as adorable.  I’m loving the outfit pictured – even though the summer season is over, I can put it up for next year.  It’s just $29 for both pieces, or you can pay $3 more and get the pants instead of the shorts.  So cute!

Are you a Disney lover?  Then check out the Disney luggage!  Choose from five different styles of hard rolling suitcases for kids for just $42 each!

Head over to Zulily to check out these great deals and the others that are still running!

Home Made Play Dough, Bubbles, More

by Frugal Coupon Living on August 20, 2010

My daughter and I made the play dough today. We added vanilla and green food coloring t0 the water. A lot of fun.

Bubble Mix
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup dishwashing liquid
1 tsp salt
Combine well, but do this gently. To make even better bubbles, add one teaspoon of glycerin.

Finger Paints
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
5-8 drops food coloring
Combine all in saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the mixture thickens. Cool and stir before using.

Play Dough
2 c. flour
1 cup salt
2 cups water (if you want to color it, add a few drops to the water BEFORE mixing)
4 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tablespoons cooking oil
Mix dry ingredients in saucepan add liquid. Cook over medium heat until the mixture pulls from the side and forms dough. Knead for several minutes. Keep in air tight container in fridge. This will make a lot! Cut recipe in 1/2 or 1/4 to make less.

Peanut Butter Play Dough
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
2 cups powdered sugar
In a bowl mix all ingredients together with your hands. Dough should feel soft and pliable. Shape into the forms of your choice. You can be creative and use cookie cutters.

Thanks, Devon!
