Happy Friday! This week has gone by in the blink of an eye. It was very good, lots of fun and learning and time out and about with friends – just very fast. I hope you had a lovely week as well. I wanted to share an idea with you that has been a humongous…
DIY Puppets
Puppets! Goodness, I had forgotten about puppets! With our most recent quiet bin (the puppet making one below) I have been reminded of the important role puppets can play in children’s play. Letting little ones create their own characters is a fabulous means to helping them immerse themselves in the beautiful land of make believe….

I am so excited to partner with Miracle-Gro and the Gro-ables Project to bring you this adorable idea to get your little ones outside and growing!

Still Tracing Shadows
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…

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…
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…
