A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the photo. I might need to rename my Friday posts to “It’s been 3 years and we are still doing the same things” Because quite truthfully, we are. Ben and I were building some shadows the other day with blocks and we decided to trace…
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…
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…

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…
Chalk Ghosts
I bought these neat Halloween cookie cutters last year when they were on sale after Halloween for maybe a dollar. And the most incredible thing happened … I remembered I bought them! Well, I actually just stumbled upon them when cleaning out the junk drawer (which is actually another incredible thing – me cleaning out…
2 Step VIBRANT Rainbow Rice {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture! Today I thought I would share a picture of some freshly dyed rainbow rice. I have been making rainbow rice for about 8 years now, and I must say – I’ve got it down to a fine science. As in, I have found…
A Marble Painted Monarch Butterfly Suncatcher
We are into our second week of homeschool and so far, so good! We have actually been so very busy with lessons, sessions, and activities with our co-op that I think we will have to cut a few things out. After all, we must be at home sometimes to in fact homeschool. But anyways, things…

With Fall on it’s way I have been thinking of my favourite Fall crafts for kids. This one we did last September, and it was such a hit we will be doing it again this year. It also held up really well, and looked great for a long time. This one is a great craft…
