Having 4 kids means I’m at the doctor’s office 4 times as much as someone with one child.
Having a child like Cyrus, means I’m at the doctor’s office 10 times as often… that kid!!
Anyway, at our last sickie appointment (Cy, two weeks ago) the doctor told me to get the whole family on probiotics. I had two thoughts: 1. Why am I just hearing about this now? 2. When, where and how much?
A couple of days later Lifeway’s Frozen Kefir Pops rocked my world. A lil’ ice-creamy-ish product with 12 probiotics (seven to ten billion CFU’s of 10 strains of bacteria plus ProBoost).
Um… OK! Just what the doctor ordered!
The “bug pops,” as my children call them, are tasty and healthy. If you are looking to get some probiotic action in your kids during Summer pool time, then pick some up at Whole Foods Market ($5.99 for a box of 6). They are in the freezer section… I’m telling you because no one knew where they were. I kept getting directed to the regular ProBugs in the yogurt section. (Which also looks tasty and it’s in those squeezy packs that are soooo easy for babies to suck down… you know what I’m talking about, right?)
After you finish your frozen ProBugs use the box (or any lightweight cardboard box… or 2 layers of felt) to make superhero masks with this great Superhero Mask Template I made for ya.
You’ll need:
Frozen ProBugs box
Dark marker
Glue (I only use hot glue… dangerous, yes. But also strong and fast drying.)
Random kid crafty stuff. I had buttons, pipe cleaners and sparkle tape. Markers, rhinestones and stickers would be great too.
Hole punch
Yarn
I ended up making a template because it’s a lot harder than it looks to eyeball a mask shape.
True story.
I made 3 different mask styles – traditional, cat-eye and crown.
Cut out, then punch a hole on each end of the mask level with the eye holes.
Decorate, then tie the yarn to create the band. (If you are using felt then you can sew on elastic.)
Easy and fun.

All of Lifeway’s products are gluten free and 99% lactose free.
Random side note: The Lifeway brand has a sweet lil’ backstory, a real American Dream!
Have fun
Disclosure, yo: This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lifeway Kefir but all my opinions are my own. And I made up the craft and template myself and used my own supplies. What else can I disclose?… um… I never do posts about something I don’t like… ever. Oh and I cuss at my kids. Hope that covers all my bases. Blarg.
