You probably played with those little green parachute army men as children. Children find watching aerodynamics in action exciting, and parachute guys really fit the bill. Last weekend, Eben and I made our own parachute guys using Lego mini figures and old plastic bags as the parachutes. This is a super fun activity that will keep your children entertained for hours as they find new and exciting heights to release their parachute guys from. We had the so much fun! The best part? These parachute guys are simple to make using recycled materials, and they’ll have your children playing in just a few short minutes, parachute over to Inhabitots to learn how.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so now is the time to starting planning a few surprises for Mom.

This Mother’s Day immerse your children in the process by giving them a selection of special ways that you can celebrate and surprise Mom together. Skip over to Inhabitots to check out my seven sweet, yet simple, Mother’s Day ideas that will get Mom almost as excited as your children.
