Arwen loves the story Brown bear, brown bear by Eric Carle. I food some digging and found some resources online. It just happened to be on a site I use a lot. http://www.dltk-kids.com/
I choose to make a felt board play.
Super easy. I printed the pictures and covered both sides with contact paper. Then I put strips of sandpaper on the back so that it would stick. She loves it. We also made our own book, which she colored.

DIY FELT STORIES
DIY Felt Board
Some time ago, I got into felt activities with the kids. I wanted to make a felt board because they are so expensive.
Normally you would want to use something stronger, but there was a great deal at the craft store, so I bought thick foam board. I used spray adhesive and covered the board with felt. Then I reinforced it on the back side with duct tape. It works great for us. Easy and cheap!

DIY hair and scalp treatment.
So I'm poor. I can't afford treatments or dermatologists etc. I decided to try a DIY treatment for dry, flaky scalp and hair. I used a squirt bottle and filled it with
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup of milk
and 2 tsp honey
It was messy and sticky. BUT...this stuff rocks. There was a considerable difference in the scalp and flakes add well as pretty, glossy hair.
Leave on an hour our so.
Just shampoo and condition and you're good to go.
