Mickey Mouse Beignets

Give your palate the flavor of New Orleans with a few famous Mickey Mouse Beignets. Hailing from New Orleans Square at Disneyland Resort and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort–French Quarter at Walt Disney World, the mouse-shaped treats require a little patience while the dough rises, but are worth the wait when you get to sink your teeth into the powdered sugar desserts. Find the complete recipe on the Disney Parks Blog.

Jack-Jack's Num Num Chocolate Chip Cookies

The nine-ingredient recipe will whip up a batch just like the ones you’d find at Disneyland’s Pixar Pier, which will hopefully keep you happy until the parks reopen. To make Jack-Jacks’ famous treats, gather chocolate chips, flour, butter, baking soda, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and brown sugar. Then follow the instructions here to get the treat at home.

Cookie Fries

Disney's Cookie Fries are normally found at Disney Beach Club Resort’s Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. The recipe calls for dairy-free products like plant-based margarine, egg substitute and molasses and makes up to 32 sticks. Top them off with plant-based dipping sauces like chocolate, strawberry and marshmallow.

Dole Whip

Recently on the Disneyland app, the company released a look-a-like recipe to the famous Pineapple Dole Whip called the “Frozen Pineapple Treat.” According to the recipe, you’ll need one scoop of vanilla ice cream, 4 ounces of pineapple juice and two cups of frozen pineapple to make this treat on your own.

Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich

We can't head to Woody's Lunch Box, but that's ok because you can make this savory meal at home.

Walt's Chili

If you've ever eaten at Carnation Cafe, you may have tried Walt's Chili, a crowd pleaser.

There’s nothing quite like raising kids in Los Angeles. We can (in theory, at least) go to the beach in December, though we actually never would. Our kids have strong opinions about taking the freeway versus service streets, and they ask for sushi in their lunch box. And we worry about keeping up with the Kardashians, not the Joneses. Read on to see 25 signs that you are an LA parent.

14. And they think "Movie-Screener Season" is an actual season, falling between "Too Hot to Go outside for Recess Season" and "Holiday Season."

15. You politely decline any play date invitations located on the other side of the 10.

16. At 6, your kid announces their lactose intolerant and insists on drinking oat/almond/pea milk instead.

Busy boxes more than live up to their name. With a little prep work, you can captivate babies and toddlers and keep them playing independently while you relax, make dinner, do laundry or straighten up the living room. Here are 10 ideas for sensory boxes to keep your baby busy. From easy to crafty, there’s something for everyone.

Build Your Box

Busy Toddler

Back away from Pinterest. Busy boxes don't have to be fancy or follow a theme. Just plop some interesting and baby-safe items in a box, and let baby explore, like with this random collection of goodies from Busy Toddler

Choose an Interesting Assortment

The Imagination Tree

Anna from The Imagination Tree recommends finding items with different textures, materials, shapes and sounds to keep baby absorbed as long as possible, while promoting independent play.

Cloth Napkin Sensory Bin

The Stay-at-Home-Mom Survival Guide

Even the littlest babes can enjoy busy boxes. This one from The Stay-at-Home-Mom Survival Guide uses cloth napkins, but you can substitute burp cloths. Babies can pull, touch, gnaw on and see all the different colors of fabric.

Fabric Fun for Older Babies

Hands on As We Grow

Add a new challenge to your bits of fabric by tying on small rattles or toys for baby to discover. Jamie from Hands on as We Grow recommends this as well as placing the fabric inside an old wipes box (recycling win!). Hiding the fabric pieces in the box adds an element of surprise and makes for fascinating pull-it-out and stuff-it-in play.

Group Objects by Theme

Jarful of Plenty

Rebecca from Jarful of Plenty likes to use themes like wooden toys, kitchen or musical instruments. Rotate your boxes or toy bins regularly to give your baby new stimulation.

Incorporate Beads

Lemon Lime Adventures

Dayna from Lemon Lime Adventures has a bunch of busy-box ideas on her site, like this one with beads. (Watch your little one carefully with this activity, especially if they're the type to put everything around their necks or in their mouths.) Babies can pull, feel and experience these long chains of beads. Teething necklaces work great for this activity. If you use costume jewelry, make sure the thread is secure so beads don't separate and cause a choking hazard.

Sort by Color

The OT Toolbox

Even before toddlers know their colors, they can start recognizing, sorting or just enjoying playing with colored objects. The OT Toolbox shows you how to make these color-sorting busy bags. They're fun for babies and will grow with your child as he/she gains more dexterity.

Their Very Own Handbag

Leisarà via Unsplash

Most little kids love to dig into Mommy's purse. To avoid having your keys and credit cards go missing, give your child their very own purse (one of your old ones or a thrift-store find works fine). Fill it with baby-safe treasures like expired credit cards, a small mirror, anything you don't mind your child playing with that isn't a choking hazard.

Try Magnets with Older Babies

Sisters, What

Here's another activity requiring more adult supervision.  Place a few magnets in an inexpensive metal pan or use a metal box like a lunch box (the lunch box makes it easy to bring this with you places). Magnets can be dangerous if ingested, so don't leave baby alone with anything containing magnets. You'll want to stick around anyway to watch your little one learn about how magnets work. This clever idea comes courtesy of Sisters, What! 

Felt Ice Cream Sundaes!

Teach Me Mommy

We can't get over the cuteness of these felt busy boxes from Nadia at Teach Me Mommy. Kids can create an ice cream sundae using simple felt pieces that anyone can craft with confidence. Head to Teach Me Mommy. for the instructions.
