Caillou - Caillou's Family Fun/Caillou's Holidays

Caillou DVD Review My two kids love Caillou. Especially my son. My son doesn't sit still for any cartoon including Elmo. He does sit still to watch Caillou. He would watch it 24/7 if you would let him. Caillou is a 4 year old boy who has a younger sister named Rosie. Each episode has a message regarding values and challenges that happen in the life of a 4 year old including having to share with your younger sister, adopting a cat from the shelter, getting to know a new baby sister, and enjoying time as a family. Other Caillou movie available are Caillou Big Brother and Caillou at Play.

Explode a Messy Volcano!

Make a messy volcano that explodes all over. Here's how.

1. An empty juice or water or soda bottle - this is going to be your volcano. (If you want to decorate it before you start the experiment, go right ahead! If you surround the bottle with playdough or clay, it will look very much like a volcano.)
2. Some baking soda
3. Some white vinegar

Move your volcano to a safe area. Preferably outside. First pour about half a cup of baking soda into the bottle. Then, keeping your head away from the top of the bottle, start pouring the vinegar into the bottle until your volcano explodes!

This is a great idea for your science project or just for fun. (Please do this with adult supervision. It sure does make a mess.)

Family Fun - Make Your Own Sock Puppets

Here is a great craft idea that we have done and then when it gets dark we put a white sheet up and a light and put on a shadow puppet show.

First, get some old socks -- make sure to ask permission before turning a sock into a puppet!

Next, get some markers. If you want to be fancy, you can get glue, buttons, extra fabric, and scissors too.

Put your hand in your sock so that four of your fingers are in the toe part of the sock and your thumb is in the heel part. When you move your hand, it will look like your sock puppet is opening his mouth.

Now you can decorate your puppet - give it eyes, a tongue, ears, a nose - anything you want!

Once you have a whole bunch of sock puppets, you can put on a puppet show for your friends and family.
