Healthy Eating Hint for Parents

Can’t convince your little ones to eat vegetables? Read them “food-friendly” books like The Talking Vegetables illustrated Julie Paschkis.

Did you know 70% of the ingredients used for meals at Little Dreamers Big Believers day care is organic? It’s just another reason why Little Dreamers is the choice for so many parents looking for child care in Columbus, the Short North, Victorian Village and Grandview.

If you’ll be in Columbus over this Memorial Day Weekend, don’t miss the Asian Festival at Franklin Park Conservatory. The kids, no matter what their age, will be mesmerized by the costumes, performances and dragons!

This year’s Asian Fest highlight:

A performance by the Mongols, descendants of Genghis Khan. They’ll be a concert along with a costume show.

The Mongols will be performing:

Sat. May 24, 2:45-3:00pm
Sun. May 25, 1:40-2:00pm; 3:20-3:40pm

Find out more about the Columbus Asian Festival and have a great Memorial Day Weekend.

In honor of central Ohio’s rainy and wet Mother’s Day, we thought we’d pass one of our favorite craft activities from Kaboose.com.

Baby Food Jar Garden

What you’ll need:

• Baby food jar with lid
• Small silk flowers
• Rolling pin
• White craft glue or hot glue gun
• Green play dough or green modeling clay (you can use our homemade play dough below)

How to make it:

1. If using the homemade play dough, follow recipe instructions below.
2. Roll out the play dough or clay with rolling pin.
3. Using the mouth of the jar as a cookie cutter, cut out a circle. If you use the lid as the cookie cutter you will not be able to close your jar when the time comes.
4. Glue the play dough or clay into the lid.
5. Stick flowers into the dough or clay. If using play dough, set lids aside to dry and harden over night.
6. Screw the lid onto the jar, carefully inserting the flowers into the jar.
7. Decorate the lid however you like. (We used a scrap of felt then tied a piece of ribbon on.)
