When my little ones were 3 month old babies, I could not have written this post. I could not have formulated coherent sentences to write about learning activities for 3 month old babies. And if I had found the time, and words, to write it (miraculously), I would have certainly opted to sleep. But now…
Christmas Handprint Art
I try to share a lot of process, meaningful art activities for kids in this space. But sometimes? Sometimes I go for the cute. The super cute, keepsake worthy crafts that I adore pulling out each and every year. Just like today with this list of Christmas handprint art. And goodness are there some adorable…
Crossing the Midline Activities for Babies and Young Toddlers
I am so excited to partner with The Little Gym to bring you this post today on crossing the midline activities for babies and young toddlers. You know how sometimes you get focused on something and then all of a sudden you start seeing it everywhere? For example if you have just bought a small…
50 Learning Activities for Babies
I have received a few notes asking about ideas of activities for babies. Well, I am a big believer in simple experiences. Letting little ones experience as many simple things as possible will immensely benefit them throughout their childhood. And keeping it simple is key! Here is a post I wrote well over three years…
Breathtaking Winter books all kids should hear
We truly do live quite simply. You won’t find anything all that extravagant out here and thanks to a big de-cluttering movement last year, you won’t find much at all really. Not too many toys, or clothes, or “stuff”. With one exception. Books. We have bookshelves and bookshelves full of books. Mostly children’s books and…
Toddler Halloween Costumes
I mentioned yesterday that I am not one for spooky Halloween things. But I do LOVE Halloween. I mean, just seeing those tiny little people smiling ear to ear and dressed up in the cutest little outfits is enough to make my day. I have one little one who is still (sort of) okay with…

A Bathtub Water Wall {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. 5e36518d431346adfe4870d159c79482a1815ae0046e99fb20 Happy Friday friends! I am sharing with you something I am shocked I am brave enough to share on “the line” (have you seen that movie? Hilarious — I believe it’s called The Internship… though none of this is actually relevant …)…
Leaf-y Jack-o-lantern
We headed out for our annual trip to a special conservation area over the Thanksgiving weekend (I know, it is early here in Canada – or so I’m told. As a born and raised Canadian it is just normal to me …) This year I brought this little gem along. Worked out beautifully for the…
What every Mama needs to know about One Year Olds
When I first started How Wee Learn, I thought it important to write a little bit about child development. I wrote three posts, on 12-18 month olds (this one), on 18-24 month olds, and on 2 year olds. Not because I am an expert (far from it), but because I think it is very important….
