For us, doing DIY projects with our kids and introducing them to a minimalist and eco-friendly lifestyle along the way is essential!
Whether it's spring break, during the holidays, or any other time when routine goes out the window, it's the perfect opportunity to connect, have a laugh, and do little experiments together.
We've rounded up our best recipes to make with our darling offspring to inspire you and create beautiful moments where mess, wonder, and happiness form the greatest recipe of all. A bit cheesy, but we own it haha!
Warning: all these recipes must be made under the kind supervision of an adult!
For the little ones
Super easy recipes to make. And we guarantee one thing: they will keep the kids busy for a good long while!
Effervescent bath powder
Bath bombs are a lot of fun, but an almost instant solution to brighten up the kids is even better! Okay, that's too much. Sorry about that! Turn bath time into a potion with this magical, easy-to-make powder.
Happy bathing!

Window painting for children of all ages
The field of visual arts can seem inextricably linked with waste. We propose a zero-waste solution that will allow children (and you!) to decorate the house by expressing themselves in the windows to bring a smile to the neighborhood. Interested? Suitable for all holidays: Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or simply everyday life.

Homemade makeup for children
Making face paint for kids is the perfect 2-in-1 activity: you involve them in the making, then they have fun painting themselves. Yesss! A great replacement for classic makeup crayons. This recipe holds up pretty well, and it's much easier to clean, plus it's natural and safe ;) A must-have for Halloween and any other occasion.

HOMEMADE PLAYDOUGH
Skeptical? Well, get ready to be proven wrong! The texture and appearance of homemade playdough are identical to the store-bought version of this timeless toy. Even your nose won't know the difference.
The ingredients? Flour, salt, water, and… cream of tartar! You can find this ingredient at the grocery store (bulk stores often carry it!). For color, we use food coloring or natural dyes (spices and very fine plant powders, for example).
The recipe we've tested is the one from Ricardo. We love it!
We're also thinking of the older ones
With our nourishing body bars (just use the molds of their choice) and the fascinating whipped body butter!
Nourishing body pains
Here is our very simple and popular nourishing bars recipe. As this product is solid, simply rub it on your skin after your bath or shower. The bar melts slightly on contact, allowing for easy and quick application. Beautiful nourished skin ahead!

Whipped Shea Body Butter
We love shea butter for its many properties: softening, healing, nourishing, perfect for baby bumps and irritated baby bottoms, fights against the harmful effects of the sun, non-comedogenic, etc.! We suggest transforming it into an all-purpose whipped meringue, with a luxurious texture and easy application.
