One of these Halloween nights cost us $932. The other cost $320 and included the whole day... here's how to decide which is right for your family.

If you’ve followed our family for any amount of time, you probably know we spend a lot of time hunting for fossilized shark teeth. And there’s one question we get asked all the time: What do you actually do with all of them?! The short answer? We keep them. We have jars of shark teeth. Bags of shark teeth. Favorite shark teeth that the kids absolutely know are theirs. Tiny teeth, giant teeth, perfect teeth and funny little broken teeth that still somehow made their way into someone’s pocket....

An empty grape container, a glass dish, and your phone are all you need to create a DIY hologram projector that will absolutely amaze your kids. We used ours to explore space before the Perseid meteor shower, but you can also project animals, dinosaurs, ocean creatures, and more. It's a quick, inexpensive STEM activity that feels a little like magic....and it's made from something you probably already have at home.
