The Best of 2014
2014 was another busy year:
E turned 4, and a few months before that, she became a big sister to Baby N.
As always, we had lots of fun doing many different activities – here are the most popular ones of the year!
The Best of 2014: The Top 5 Most Popular Posts
#1: Very Sandy Sand Slime
The most popular post of the year by a huge margin was about how we made {Very Sandy} Sand Slime and had a blast. You have to try this minimal mess sensory activity!
#2: Glue Star Suncatchers
We made pretty glittery Glue Star Suncatchers, and they were particularly popular on Pinterest.
#3: Sticky Sand Sensory Play
Another sensory activity using sand came in at number 3: Sticky Sand Sensory Play. Making sticky sand is even easier than making sand slime, and I know you have the ingredients in your kitchen right now!
#4: How to Make Glitter Paint
We made our own glitter paint from three ingredients – it was so pretty, and it was a big hit with my readers, too!
#5: Baking Soda and Vinegar Volcano
We love the baking soda and vinegar reaction, and happily use any excuse to come up with another activity using it. Our baking soda and vinegar volcano was great fun – and as a bonus, we were able to give new life to some old cloud dough!
Bonus #1: Most popular old (pre-2014) post
Handprint Snowmen Christmas Ornaments
This post blew all the other ones out of the water during the Christmas season of 2014. And with good reason – our Handprint Snowmen Christmas Ornaments are incredibly cute and quite easy to make. In fact, this is the third year we’ve made them at our house.
Bonus #2: My favorite post from 2014
Invitation to Build a Bottle Cap Snowman
While this activity didn’t show up at the top of the pageviews {to be fair, I published the post in mid-December and didn’t give it much time to make the top 5 for the year 😉 }, I loved it and couldn’t get enough of those cute bottle cap snowmen 🙂
