Lego Rice Krispies Treats

In planning my 5 year old’s LEGO birthday party, I wanted treats that would be easy to serve and minimal mess involved, so when I saw the idea to make Lego Rice Krispie Treats, I knew it was right up my alley! First, make up a batch of Rice Krispies Treats…you will need:

Easter Egg Memory

If you have those plastic Easter Eggs lying around still, use them to play Memory with your little ones.

 Just pull the eggs apart and hide things underneath each half with a match under another half. I hid pennies, paper clips, popcorn kernels, buttons, etc.

My 4 year old loved playing this game and got quite intense :).
I got this idea from the April 2013 edition of Family Fun Magazine (page 20).

Bread Bird Feeder

My boys loathe the heels on loaves of bread…sometimes I make them eat it anyhow, but I decided to try the simple bird feeders from Bless this Mess Please and my boys had a blast! They are cheap, simple and fun to make, plus if you’re lucky, they will bring beautiful birds to your backyard for your viewing pleasure.

Febreze Spring Collection Review

I have been eagerly awaiting spring’s arrival. My seedlings are growing, the grass is finally turning green, the sun is shining and my boys are loving playing outside! My favorite scent during the spring is hard to describe…I think of it as sunshine in my boys’ hair. Whenever they’ve been playing out in the sun, they come inside and their hair smells amazing. It makes me think that if sunshine has a scent, it would smell like my boys’ hair. I can’t help cuddling with my boys and breathing in their sweet smell.

Lego Construction Cake

For my 5 year old’s birthday party, I really wanted to make him a Lego cake like this, but he wanted one with toys on top, so this is what I came up with: I made two round cakes, layered them and frosted them green for the grass. I used a Hershey’s chocolate bar for the road so the Lego’s wouldn’t get quite as dirty. The Lego set is a “Lego Juniors Digger” set which was perfect for my 5 year old to build with minimal help and he was happy as could be with the final result!
