Fun Frugal Find Friday-salt 2 for $1

Homemade Colored Salt Jars

I like to browse couponing sites to see if I can find something on sale that I can use for a fun activity. This week I found salt on sale 2 for $1.00 at walgreens from southern savers. I decided to use the salt to make rainbow salt jars. The activity went along with a book we read, "Dora's Color Adventure." The jars were simple to make. I used food coloring to color the salt. We talked about the different colors then daddy helped Little Sweets pour the colored salt into the baby food jar. Salt is also an important ingredient for making homemade play dough.

Fun Frugal Art- Painting with Marbles

This is a fun activity I enjoyed doing with my preschoolers. Tape a piece of paper in a cookie sheet or box lid. Put a small blob of paint inside the cookie sheet. Take a marble and roll it around the lid. It makes a pretty picture on the paper. This week we were learning about zoo animals so I cut out the shape of a zebra and we did this activity to paint the stripes on the zebra.
