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…
Fall Crafts: Fall Leaf Letters
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…
Let Them Face Paint {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. We had some friends over last week and the kids got out the face paint. They had a blast! My little ones love to paint their own faces. Sometimes it is just simply for the process of painting them, and sometimes it is…
Un-Chalking {A Photo on Friday}
{A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture.} We like to mix things up around here. When the chalkboard is getting a little lonely we mix things up to bring it back to life with some un-chalking (? Hmmm) I use the side of the chalk and cover the chalkboard in…
Learning to “Fill the Page”
For a full year now I have been learning about Waldorf education. We have been involved with our local school longer than that, but for the last year I have been actively reading and researching the philosophies and educational paradigms (Don’t run away! This is interesting, I promise.) I am a certified “public school” teacher,…
Wet-on-Wet Watercolour Painting {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture! This was Sam’s first attempt at wet on wet watercolour painting, and he loved it. He used yellow and blue liquid watercolour paint on wet paper (just as simple as that!) Happy Friday! Hope you have a lovely weekend friends. Please consider following…
Pretty Paper Cup Flowers
Mother’s day is just around the corner. This year, just as last year, my little ones are home with me. While I absolutely love being home with them (most days) I do miss out on a few things from having them in daycare … and one thing that I really miss is sweet little kid-made…
Chalk Nesting Dolls {Golden Cockerel, a How Wee Learn Sponsor}
Did you happen to notice that my site has changed recently? I decided to seek out some private advertisers. Companies that I find fascinating, wonderful, and unique. Companies that I could proudly display on my site and introduce to you. Writing on this site is something that I absolutely love doing. I love sharing ideas,…
Nature Painting
We host a home school group here each week. It is a fun group, a busy group. A BUSY group. Mind you it is mostly because of my busy boys, but that is besides the point. Every week I try to plan an activity that will burn off some energy. This week I had planned…
