👀 Caramel apple-ing can be easier than pumpkin carving (certainly more delicious). The keys to this sticky-substance craft: preparation and parchment paper.


- Stretch it out for hours by having a stick-decorating party beforehand (or asking a great caregiver to do so).
- Have littles help unwrap the caramels.
- Divide all decorations to avoid any caramel-filled clashes.
- Parchment. Paper. Everywhere.

Getting into the spirit of -and- the first signs of flu season 🤧, here is one of our favorite hand-washing tricks for kiddos:

Sing this song to the tune of “Frere Jacque” (aka “Are You Sleeping Brother John?”):
🎶 front and ba-ack, front and ba-ck//
in between, in between //
rub ’em all together, rub ’em all together //
now they’re clean, now they’re clean” 🎶
