Winter is over! As much as I strive to enjoy each day and try to welcome the rhythm of the seasons – Winter is a tough season for me … the grey, the wet, the cold, the cold …. the cold. But Spring is officially here! We are beginning the time of year when it…
The Loveliest Spring Activities for Preschoolers!
Oh goodness do I love spring! I am always completely and utterly ready for spring activities by February. So you can only imagine how ready I am when the snow actually melts and spring weather actually comes late April. But in the meantime – we will fully pretend! I thought it time to share these amazing…
St Patrick’s Day Craft: Pepper Stamping!
We really don’t celebrate St Patrick’s day. I said it. The cat is out of the bag. I am a Mom who blogs about activities for kids and I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I am not anti-leprechaun at all (in fact, if anything I would be completely pro-leprechaun). It is just that March is…
Rainbow Fine Motor Sensory Bin
Everything coloured. That is the theme in our house right now. The brighter the better. Tons of painting, with the purplest trees you have ever seen. Loads of crafting, with the wildest markers available. Since it is still so white outside, we are making it very spring-like inside. While our first theme is colour, or…

The count down is officially on to Valentine’s Day. Fourteen days to go! We are still making little creations to send to Grandma and Gigi for Valentine’s Day.

A Pumpkin Pinwheel
Did you know that I am afraid of horses? Well, maybe not afraid – but I am definitely nervous around them. They are so humongous. Once I was at a horseback riding camp when I was little and I got stepped on. My toe was purple for years and years! A purple toe for years…
