Taking Toys Apart
If I knew that giving my kids a few tools, some old toys, and permission to take the toys apart would lead to hours of engagement, I would've done it years ago. Following along with this simple book Taking Toys Apart by Kristin Fontichiaro we learned how to safely disassemble some old toy cars. From removing the outer carriage to extracting the circuit board, this highly educational activity exposed us to the inner working of circuits, motors, resistors, capacitors, switches, and overall how electricity works. The kids were super pumped about this activity and asked if we can do it again soon.

How to Make Lego Gummies
I find myself often surprised at how simple certain things are to make. Seriously, who knew with only 4 ingredients, you can make your own gummies. All the credit for how to make this fun food you can play with is given to the late Grant Thompson over at the King of Random. Unfortunately, Grant passed away a few years ago.

He suggests adding vitamins to your mixture to make your gummies healthy and using real lego plates to…

Lego Candy Dispenser
If your house is anything like ours, then you have more legos than you know what to do with. Because my kids rarely reassemble the original project that the legos were purchased for, we are often on the hunt for new and creative lego instructions to make new things. We were excited to find the Lego Candy Dispenser instructions created by Sarah at Frugal Fun for Boys & Girls. A video showing how the dispenser works is located at the bottom of this post. The directions provided are really easy to follow. We did have to modify a few pieces because we did not have the exact lego blocks used…

Blue Wave Floats
Inspired by the Shark Bait Ice Cream Floats posted by All Things Mama , we made our own blue summertime treats. While my grown-up taste buds did not particularly enjoy this sugary concoction of Blue Fanta, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Gummy Candies, the kids loved it.

Toying Around
This week, we will explore the history and science of toy making and make a few toys ourselves. We will also go on 2 field trips. The first to the Mini Design Studio where Jackson will have a 3d figurine created of himself as an action figure. We will also visit Babyland General Hospital where Ansley will learn about how Cabbage Patch Dolls are made and adopt one, herself.

Schools out for summer!! Sort of. We are pairing down our schedule to do smaller reviews of math/reading and opting for more fun each week. We will also be incorporating a more Camp Covid type schedule once Jackson's school year is over.
