We could try that though! I bet it'd be really pretty, especially with glitter for a sparkling snow effect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-awesome-way-for-kids-to-help#post-455078 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:16:37 +0000 yoursilverlining 455078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: How old is your LO?</p> <p>My LO is 6 months and likes to do art this way (they do this at daycare): put paper inside a ziplock baggie, and squeeze a few drops of different colors of paint into the bag as well. Then make sure the bag is shut securely and let LO squeeze and crinkle and fold up the bag/paper/paint. It actually makes really cool designs on the paper!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-awesome-way-for-kids-to-help#post-455071 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:14:18 +0000 BelugaBean 455071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I totally wish LO was old enough to do this. I may still make some myself over the holidays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-awesome-way-for-kids-to-help#post-455004 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 09:48:37 +0000 yoursilverlining 455004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for bumping this - very cool; I'm going to forward to friends with older kids!</p> <p>ETA: and LO likes art so we will try to make a snowflake this weekend too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-awesome-way-for-kids-to-help#post-454963 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 09:27:48 +0000 BelugaBean 454963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to bump this now that people are awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-awesome-way-for-kids-to-help#post-454814 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 05:37:24 +0000 BelugaBean 454814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just came across this article on CNN this morning about ways to help those in Newtown if you can't give financially. I thought one was really cool. They are wanting the kids to be greeted by a winter wonderland when they return to school in January so they're asking people to make snowflakes and send them to Connecticut. I thought it was an awesome way to help and to get kids involved, especially if they've been wanting to help (DH has a cousin whose son is always looking for ways to help people). I think it'd also be a good way to just spend time with the kids. </p> <p>Here's the link with the address and the other ways to help.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/12/18/ways-you-can-help-newtown-community?hpt=hp_t1" rel="nofollow">http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/12/18/ways-you-can-help-newtown-community?hpt=hp_t1</a> </p>
