Earth Day Projects

These Earth Day Projects and Earth Day Activities for Kids are a few ways to make a difference this April and perhaps for the rest of your life. A new habit takes on average a month, perhaps making a difference this month will create some life long differences for your family and your environment.

Get a library card and borrow books and magazines instead of buying prints (or join Audible and listen to books)
Use a bamboo toothbrush (instead of a plastic one)
Say no to free promo items
Use bar soap instead of liquid soap (less packaging)
Use reusable shopping and produce bags
Shop your local farmers market, bring a reusable bag
Plan meals to avoid food waste
Collect and re-purpose rain or grey water
Have your shoes and clothes repaired instead of buying new
Run full loads in the dish washer and laundry
Focus on experiences instead of things
Change all your bills to paperless (electronic)
Join carpools or use public transport
Plant a garden (even if it is small)
Carry your own reusable straw
Reduce the amount of consumption of toothpaste, shampoo, etc
Don’t impulse shop – stop, think method
Avoid palm oil (responsible for much of the world’s deforestation)
Upcycle and re-purpose as much as you can
Pack your own lunch in a reusable container

The steps will turn you into an environmentally conscious earth member (wink) and get you family closer to a zero waste home!

Pumping Heart Model

April 10, 2021 by administrator Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

It’s so easy to make this working model of the heart! Craft this DIY pumping heart model with your kids for an easy and informative science experiment. With just a few supplies, you can create your very own pumping heart model for some STEM fun at home. This makes a great science lesson in the classroom, too. Enjoy!

DIY Pumping Heart Model

I used to be a teacher, so I have long had a soft spot for activities that would go great in a classroom. After Frugal Coupon Living took off, I never made it back to the classroom. Even so, my love for teaching little ones never left me! I always jump at the opportunity to make some easy science experiments with the kids on the weekends. They have fun AND learn something new, so it’s a perfect way to spend some free time in my book. Instead of teaching your kids about the human body with videos or books, let them create their own working heart model to keep them totally engaged! Hands-on activities are some of the best ways to get kids to learn valuable information and have it stick.

This pumping heart working model project doesn’t take long, but is SO cool! Plus, you probably already have all of the necessary supplies lying around your house. If not, all of the tools can easily be found at your local dollar store! Don’t spend a ton to teach your kids. I love when I can create fun experiments for the kiddos that barely cost a thing. You may even be able to identify a future doctor in your family or your class!

How does this pumping heart model work?

The human heart has four separate chambers, and this working model of the heart represents one of the heart’s chambers. The heart’s chambers pump blood into the body’s arteries, as demonstrated by the model. Every chamber has an entry point, known as the atrium, and an exit chamber, known as the ventricle. Both of these work continuously, pumping blood to keep it flowing through the body. To stop blood from going back into the chambers of the heart, valves close when the blood exits. The balloon acts as a valve in our pumping heart model, which prevents blood that exits the chamber from reentering the chamber. To make this clear to the kids, try removing the balloon from the equation and see what happens to the water.

Add this pumping heart model experiment to your weekend plans to give your kids their daily dose of STEM. It’s important to peak their interest in science and math at an early age. Who knows — it might inspire your little ones to pursue a future career in the medical or science fields!

Let me know how much you and your kiddos absolutely love this easy science experiment in the comments below. Have fun!

Questions to ask the kids:

Where does the water stop inside the straws?
Does water travel up inside of the covered straw?
Does the water return to the jar when the balloon is released?

Supplies you’ll need to make a working heart model:

One large mason jar
2 balloons
1 to 2 cups water
Food coloring, if desired (we recommend using red, of course!)
2 bendy straws
Tape
Scissors
Rimmed tray or casserole dish

Directions:

First off, mix your food coloring and water, if you choose to add it. Pour the water into the jar.

Next, cut one balloon in half. Discard the bottom/side with the opening of the balloon.

Then place the remaining piece of the balloon loosely over one of the straws. Secure the cut edge to the straw with tape. Set aside.

On the other balloon, cut the balloon in half to remove the narrow neck part of the balloon. Stretch the remaining part of the balloon over the mouth of the jar. Cut two tiny slits in the balloon. Secure the balloon’s cut edge to the jar with tape.

Pressing the balloon to make the holes slightly larger, push the bottom of each straw through a hole in the balloon.

On the straw without the attached balloon cap, bend the neck so the top points down.

Next, place the jar in a rimmed baking sheet or casserole dish.

To make the model heart work, press down on the balloon stretched over the jar. Water will flow through the uncovered straw. The straw with the balloon cap will inflate.

You’re done! You created your very own pumping heart model.

National Volunteer Week falls in April. Enjoy these parent Volunteer Gifts Ideas with printable gift tags to show how you appreciate your volunteers. Say thank you with these random acts of kindness and parent gift ideas.

Volunteer Gifts Ideas

When I was a teacher, boy did I appreciate my classroom volunteers. Parents were amazing from coming in weekly to work with a student, to cutting up classroom supplies, to creating bulletin boards. When my girls began school, I was in the classroom weekly returning the favor. Both when I taught and when I volunteered was before Pinterest, so I had to get really creative with my Volunteer Appreciation Gifts.

Thank God for the evolution of Pinterest!

How do you appreciate your volunteers?

The point of National Volunteer week is to show a random act of kindness to your classroom helpers. Say thank you with these parent gift ideas. Purchase a plant, cake, candy bar, gift card and attach a printable thank you gift tag.

When is National Volunteer Week?

The exact dates of National Volunteer Appreciation Week vary based on the year. If looking in advance, it is typically the third week of April. For 2021, National Volunteer Week will fall between April 18 – 24th. It typically comes two weeks before Teacher Appreciation Week.

What do you do for volunteer appreciation?

You might ask yourself, what is a good gift to show appreciation? Recognizing the impact of a volunteer doesn’t have to be a grandiose event. Often small gifts of thanks show the most appreciation.

We put together a list of creative parent volunteer gifts. All offer inspiration and all a bonus, all offer printable Gift Tags for Parent Volunteers. I personally love when I can pick up a small thoughtful gift at the grocery store and attach a thank you gift tag. Easy-peasy.

White Bread – Bread Machine Recipe

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 24, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Recipe, Social Media

Calling all bread lovers! Skip the store-bought loaf and make this easy and delicious bread machine white bread. This is the best bread machine recipe for white bread out there. Ah, I can almost smell the fresh bread baking now…

White Bread Bread Machine Recipe

Best Bread Machine White Bread Recipe

I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for all things bread, especially when it’s freshly baked! There’s nothing like slicing through a loaf of bread that’s still warm and slathering a piece with butter or your favorite jam. While most people were at home during the past year, I noticed that making bread from scratch became a popular activity. Some loaves, especially sourdough, can take days or even weeks to perfect. I’m sure that the payoff is delicious, but as a busy mom, I prefer using our bread machine to make homemade bread!

This bread machine recipe for white bread will quickly become a staple in your house. The recipes that come with bread makers sometimes yield a dense bread that’s less than appetizing. I prefer to use my own recipes, like this bread machine white bread recipe. It creates a fluffy bread that still holds up — aka, the best of both worlds! Basically, it’s everything white bread should be. I love to use this white bread for everything, from buttered toast in the morning to hearty sandwiches at lunchtime. Make a loaf on Sunday and enjoy it all week long — or as long as your family takes to devour it! Here’s a pro tip: if your bread starts to get a bit stale, use it to make your own croutons or breadcrumbs!

Do you have to use bread flour to make this bread?

Using bread flour in this bread machine white bread recipe is important to get the right texture. However, you can substitute all-purpose flour if you’re in a bind. Since all-purpose flour has a lower protein content than bread flour, the texture won’t be exactly the same, but the bread will still taste delicious! I’d recommend that you keep a bag of bread flour in your pantry for all of your bread-making needs. That way, you have the right supplies locked and loaded whenever the craving for some homemade bread hits.

Is a bread machine worth the money?

I can’t speak for everyone out there, but I personally LOVE my breadmaker. Store-bought bread is nothing compared to freshly baked bread, and it’s a luxury to have homemade bread around the house without having to spend all day in the kitchen. With a bread machine, you don’t have to wait to let your bread rise or knead the dough. Just add your ingredients, select the setting, and in a few hours, your loaf is done! Plus, if you have to make large quantities of bread for your family or an event, a bread machine is definitely the way to go. All in all, my breadmaker was totally worth it. If you’ve been holding back on investing in a bread machine, this is your sign to take the plunge!

If you’re looking for more inspiration for your bread machine, take a look at our roundup of the Best Breadmaker Recipes.

I also recommend having this Baking Hacks & Tips Conversion Sheet on hand. It’s the perfect resource for bread making and you can instantly download it! Keep it in your recipe binder for easy access when you’re in the kitchen.

Baking Hacks & Tips Conversion Chart

Without further ado, let’s get into the recipe!

Ingredients you’ll need to make white bread in the bread machine:

1 cup water, heated to 110 degrees
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (I used bread machine yeast.)

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.
