Spring is almost here — time to wake up from my hibernation and get these little cubs of mine outside! The warm sunshine never fails to make me want to spruce up our outdoor play spaces. We like to keep outdoor play, well, natural I suppose. So when I am planning outdoor play spaces for…
Seed Germination for Kids – The Results!
A little while ago I wrote a post on seed germination for kids. In that post, I told you I would do a follow up post on the seed activities for kids we did as the seeds were growing, and about the results of which seeds grew fastest (or grew at all!) Wonderful news! You…
Turn Milk into Plastic!
Did you know you could turn milk into plastic? I didn’t. I had no idea! I did know that you can turn cream into butter, which is just what I was planning on doing with my Kindergarteners last week. We love easy science experiments! There I was armed with gallons of cream (which as it…
Calming Activities for Preschoolers
If you have a preschooler I guarantee that you also have a need for these calming activities! Calming activities for preschoolers would definitely be in the parenting handbook (if only there was one). My boys tend to be on the busy side, so I am sure to include a few extra calming bins with our…

Gorgeous Fall Leaves Crafts
I feel as though I need to begin this post on Fall leaves crafts with an apology. I am sorry if it feels as though I am rushing past summer and right into Fall. I am not meaning to – I am just a bit of a planner. Well, I suppose that isn’t even exactly…
Science Experiment: Why Do Leaves Change Colour?
Science experiments for kids are big in our home. My kids love them – and so do I. While teaching Kindergarten I made science experiments a priority. Kids are so naturally curious about the world around them and science experiments bring this learning fully to life. This is my ABSOLUTE favourite science experiment of all…
Outdoor Birthday Party Ideas
