A photo on Friday. Happy Friday friends. This week we had some more Christmas-y fun with playdough. The kids were rolling thick and thin ropes of playdough (here is my ultimate no-cook recipe). These ropes were popped on to some white paper candy canes I had cut out. This activity is fabulous for developing and…
Wash Your Hands!
Well I warned you. Yesterday was all business with oodles and oodles of Christmas crafts to get you and your little ones in the holiday spirit. No chitter chatter – just the goods. But as promised, today I have some chitter chatter. Some stories. Some unimportant, just so you know, though you likely didn’t need…
A Bathtub Water Wall {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. 5e36518d431346adfe4870d159c79482a1815ae0046e99fb20 Happy Friday friends! I am sharing with you something I am shocked I am brave enough to share on “the line” (have you seen that movie? Hilarious — I believe it’s called The Internship… though none of this is actually relevant …)…
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…
Sight Word Games on the Pumpkin Patch
I have been wondering for a little while what to do with my older posts. Since I have been doing this for quite some time now, some of my old posts feel a bit awkward to me. I sort of feel like I was in that awkward teenage phase where I was trying to impress…
2 Step VIBRANT Rainbow Rice {A Photo on Friday}
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…
Counting Snails
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. And this is actually not one of those times. But that’s okay because I really want to share this with you. Why? I’m not too sure. It’s not that great of an idea, perhaps some would even say it might be considered slightly…
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…
Nature Walk Ideas for Kids: Leaf Sewing
Pulling this post up from the archives for you today friends, as it is my first day back in the classroom so I have been busily preparing! I will be teaching one day a cycle and otherwise home with my little ones – an incredible balance that I am so fortunate to have. I wanted…
Our Science and Math Shelf …
Do you know about the power of “loose parts” in play? It’s quite remarkable. Such a simple concept – one of those concepts that just make sense. In a nut shell, loose parts are exactly that. (You are most welcome for clearing that one up!) Loose parts can be anything at all – synthetic or…
