February 8, 2020 by Adelaide Ventura 1 Comment

Little ones learn with their whole bodies. Sensory activities for toddlers (such as these ones focusing on the sense of touch) are a very important part of that whole body learning.

DIY Light Table that is easier than easy to make!

October 18, 2016 by Sarah 8 Comments

Raising a Wild Child

September 14, 2016 by Sarah 1 Comment

My kids are actually very well behaved. They are calm, kind, and inquisitive – as long as they are outdoors. Put some walls around those boys of mine and sooner than later they will start to bounce off them. This will change with time of course, as they get older. But for now? I’m raising…
