MAD (Mindie, Adam, Alex, David) Family Fun is the result of friends and family asking "How do you find so much fun stuff to do?" So, I decided to share with everyone! There are no BIG secrets involved, I promise. I just have a knack for finding fun and now I want to share it with you!

MAD Family Fun is a place to find activities, events and ideas to have more fun with your family. Enjoy!

Easter S'mores


Everyone loves S'mores. Don't these just look yummy! Just use a peep instead of the same old marshmallow. In the photo they use the chicks but we went with the bunny peeps because they were flatter and easier to melt in the microwave.

Mickey Easter printable


Need something for the little ones to do before the big egg hunt this weekend? Why not try this printable from Disney featuring Mickey!

Liquid or solid??


Who wants to make some green slime???  Actually you can make it any color you want! This fun activity not only teaches kids how to follow a recipe, but lets them explore some great science ideas along the way. Or heck, maybe just have fun playing with the slime!

Make a seed mosaic


I always tell our fun tester, there is no wrong or right in art! Here is a chance for kids to make art with more then just crayons by making a seed mosaic!! You can find bags of beans and lentils at your local market and they can be used in other crafts as well. So get drawing and gluing and remember there is no right or wrong in art.
