8 Awesomely FUN Trampoline Games
We were hesitant to purchase a trampoline. My boys are rather rowdy, and one little one tends to be a bit accident prone, making me think twice about a trampoline. Or three times. Even four. By the fifth thought, and a lot of convincing and promises of safety, we found ourselves owning a trampoline. The…
Potpourri Making with Kids
I am excited to partner with Oak Meadow today to bring you this post on making potpourri. We sure do love our homemade gifts around here. With the holidays just around the corner I was thrilled to see ‘making potpourri’ in our Oak Meadow grade one curriculum for this week. There is a large nature…
Creatively Playing with Circumference
I am excited to partner with KORXX today to bring you this post on playing with circumference. This post contains affiliate links It is amazing to me how many big educational concepts can get introduced naturally through play. We have our curriculum that we follow regularly and I find it to be quite enriching. Yet…
Why Do Birds Fly in a “V”?
How many questions do you get asked in a day? My count right now has to be close to 100. Inquisitive, curious kids are fabulous – though, truth be told, exhausting. While I have been known to respond with the day-dreamy “yep” in the car after responding to 38 questions about clouds, I really do…
Make a Treasure Chest!
Do you have a little collector or two at home? I sure do. A lot of our homeschool learning activities don’t happen with pencil and paper, but instead with art and projects and paintings and creating lots of lovely and wonderful ‘things’! These two points, of course, mean that my little collectors will not be…
Stump and Nails Geoboard
I am always, always cold. I also hardly ever, ever wear socks. The combination of these two competing forces means that come winter we best have a lot of firewood. The conversation about how much firewood we should have always goes something like this: “I think 6 cords really would be enough. The neighbours have…
Heart, Lungs, Brain, Oh My!
Parts of our homeschool day are going really, really well. Parts. We will settle into our new rhythm and I am very convinced that in a few short weeks the parts that are going well will grow, and most of our day will be fabulous. For now, I will focus on those really, really great…
Constellation Activities for Kids
These constellation activities are out of this world! BIG eye roll. But they will really add a twinkle to your little one’s eye. Maybe even make them feel like a star. Come on Mama, let’s rock it! (you know, like rocket?) Okay, I’m done with that now, I promise. We are doing a little learning…
An Invitation to Build Big
We have some absolutely lovely neighbours. Neighbours who were thrilled at the chance to swap firewood from their woods for (loads of) eggs from our lovely ladies. Goodness, is there anything my chickens can’t do? They can even keep us warm all winter long. That great big load of wood, ready to be chopped, had…
