Smartiepants

Smartie Artists, this one’s for you! 🎨

Cloud dough is soft, squishy, easy to make, and perfect for a little creative sensory play at home.

Cloud Dough Recipe:

1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup hair conditioner
Optional: glitter or food colouring

Mix the cornstarch and conditioner together until it feels soft and doughy. Add glitter or colour if you’re feeling brave. Store it in an airtight container and bring it out at the table for easy play.

Bonus parent hack: Put it on a baking sheet or tray first. It keeps the mess contained and makes cleanup way less annoying.

Save this video and try it this weekend!

Smartie summer is almost here 💛

This Mommy Meet Up felt extra special 💖

My mom, Reesa and I started Smartiepants (10 years ago!) to create more than just programming for kids. We wanted to build a connected community.

Getting to watch moms meet, chat, laugh, and connect while their little ones played together always means so much to us.

A huge thank you to the incredible experts who joined us and made the afternoon so special:

And to every mom who came, thank you. Motherhood can feel overwhelming and isolating sometimes, and we never take for granted that you choose to spend your time with us.

Happy Mother’s Day 💐
