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 time—oh…
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…
Halloween Games for Kids
Halloween! It will be here before I know it. Costumes have been decided (well, one for sure, and the second keeps changing between a hockey player or a baseball player – my money is on a combo of the two). Crafts have already begun, and this year, for the very first time, we will be…
A Gorgeous Nature Bird Feeder Craft
If there is one thing I am loving these days, it is crafts that my kids can do together. This bird feeder craft was the perfect activity for my 12 year old to do with my 3 year old. When you have a big age range in your home, it can be a bit tricky…
Ridiculously Fun Outdoor Games for Kids!
The warm weather is here! It’s time to make up for the long cold winter where we spent way too much time inside. We needed some ridiculously fun games for kids! But it can be a little tricky getting back into the routine of getting out there, especially when my little ones are used to indoor…
Just Plain Fun Summer Games!
Summer sure is flying right on by. It does have a way of doing that around here. Winters that go on, and on, and on (and on) and summers that vanish in a blink. But I will not let it slip away just yet. And we are going to squeeze each and every last drop…
Learning with nature: A printable summer bucket list!
Summer is here! The air is warm and the snow is gone, which is officially waking me from my hibernation. It is time for this Mama bear to venture back outside. Every year I tell myself I will learn to love winter. And every year I don’t. I don’t even like it, let alone love…
Indoor AND Outdoor Easter Egg Hunt Clues!
Do you know what we have never really done? A TRUE Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt. You know, the ones with printable clues… Start here, find this, then this, and so on… But this year, it is going to happen! And, if you are interested, it is going to happen for YOU too! I am working…
A Nifty Nature Belt
It is almost SPRING! And that means only one thing around here … time for all of those nature walk ideas for kids! Here is a post that I wrote many years back, but I think this idea still holds strong (haha! Get it?) It has been a little while since I have last written…
Seed Germination for Kids – The Results!
A little while ago, I wrote a post on seed germination for kids where I showed you exactly how we set up a seed germination experiment using glass jars, paper towels, water, and of course, seeds! In that post, I told you I would do a follow-up post on the seed activities for kids we…
