If you visit this little space often, I am sure you know that we love Quiet Bins. I stand by the magic of quiet time wholeheartedly! My kids are happier, calmer, and so much more relaxed now that we have a set quiet time in our day. But Quiet Bins do so much more than…
Get Ready – It’s Almost Here!
I am over the moon excited! For the past 18 months I have been working on a labor of love and it is just about finished. One more careful edit and it will be done. Done! I have to say, and I hope I do not sound as though I am gloating, it turned out…
Independent Valentine Preschool Activities
Any holiday is exciting when you are a little one! (Well actually, they are even more exciting when you have a little one.) Drawing on this natural excitement is a wonderful way to make learning meaningful for kids. My preschooler has been loving heart activities lately, so I thought I would find some new Valentine…
Gorgeous Heart Crafts for Preschoolers
My 4 year old and I are suckers for nature crafts. I am still not sure whether it is because of the fun that we have while gathering the supplies or if it is creating something beautiful with them later. Either way, we love them. Our favorite activity is working with clay and nature items….
Swept Away with Learning!
I am over on the Melissa and Doug website today sharing how we have been swept away with learning. I was thrilled to find some child sized brooms, mops, and dustpans as Christmas gifts for my little ones. My boys are such great helpers that they are forever using my cleaning tools – making it…

If you also have little children, those germs can seem like they multiply much more quickly! Thankfully, there are lots of…
Our Rhythm for Preschool at Home
Happy Holidays! I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful holiday season. We had a great holiday with lots of visiting, fun, and late nights too. Which means these little ones of mine are ready to get back into our daily rhythm. They may not think they are ready – but goodness are…
Finger Painting Ideas
No childhood is complete without some good, old-fashioned, messy, squishy, colourful finger painting. And with winter holidays just beginning, I thought it was a great time to share some wonderful finger painting ideas with you. Trust me, the paint will wash away in no time (well, perhaps a little time) but the memories will stay…
Gorgeous Sensory Bins for Preschoolers
I am (so!) excited to partner with Mama May i today to tell you about this gorgeous sensory bin. Do you remember being a young child and getting swept away in your own little world? Maybe it was paper dolls, a special dollhouse, or little characters who had lives all their own. My boys love…
