In the summer we made these yummy (oh so yummy), simple (oh so simple), and healthy (oh so … well, pretty healthy) yogurt melts. Since February has hit hard, with a one-two punch in the face with snow and power outages, I thought I would fight back. How- you might be asking? Well, by using…
Valentine’s Day Playdough
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. We whipped up a batch of my favourite no-cook playdough this week (I tell you friends, this recipe is the best! It takes 3 minutes to make and keeps for months.) I added a few jewels, cupcake liners, and heart shaped cookie cutters…
Paper Plate Valentine Crafts for Preschoolers!
Can you believe January is almost over?! Goodness. Winter usually lasts forever for me, but so far so good! With January just about behind us I thought it time to start looking forward to Valentine’s Day! And always on a mission to keeping crafting simple and cute, I thought these paper plate Valentine crafts would…
Making Letters
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. (Well, and I need internet – but it’s working now, sorry it’s a little late friends) Sam is right in that sweet spot of learning his letters. He is super excited, asking how to spell everything and anything, and eager as can be…
Name Symmetry
These little boys of mine managed to stay healthy right through the holidays. They waited until day two of school being back in to come down with the nasty bug that made their sister sick all holiday long. Poor boys. It’s likely the same in your house – in ours, there are different levels of…
Playdough Road Construction
A photo on Friday. Well this little gem was a HUGE hit with Benjamin. A little playdough, whipped up from my favourite no-cook recipe, a few diggers and voila! A playdough road in need of some serious repair. Again and again and again. Hope you have a lovely, festive weekend friends. Let the holiday fun…
A Candy Cane Reindeer Keepsake + a GIVEAWAY!
When I was contacted by The Pencil Grip to review their newest product Kwik Stix, I was intrigued. It is not that I was intrigued so much for myself, but I was intrigued for you. You see, I am not one to mind a messy craft or paint splatters on my floor – but I…
Playdough Christmas Trees
We are keeping things simple around here right now. Sammy is adjusting to school (sort of). Madeline is adjusting to having a little brother at school (sort of). Benjamin is adjusting to being the only little one at home with Mama (sort of). And me? Well, I’m adjusting to nothing. Change is just so hard…
Christmas Sensory Bin and a Sticky Tree
Too soon for a Christmas post? Nah … it’s November! This was one of the boys’ favourite activities last season—a sticky Christmas tree to decorate! Super simple, and lots of learning can be added. Counting, colour or size sorting, and patterning can all easily come into play (Ha! Play—I didn’t even do it on…
A Tiger Chased a Dog…
Have you met Tundra yet? She is a complete sweetheart. Calm, friendly, fabulous with kids … pretty much the perfect dog. But when she was a puppy she was wild. Wild. That was her past though. We try to not focus on that and instead focus on the sweetie she has become. I think of…
