One of my favorite activities to enjoy with preschoolers is a simple walk. Whether it’s a walk to the park, a walk around the neighborhood, or a walk on some nature trails, the fresh air lifts our spirits and presents so many learning opportunities. Especially when you have one of these no-prep preschool scavenger hunts…
Beach Activities for Preschoolers with a Muffin Tray!
Beach days are relatively stress-free for us now, but back when my boys were preschoolers? This mama was more than a touch frazzled on beach day. Getting everyone changed into bathing suits, packing enough snacks and water, carrying the cooler and all of the towels and blankets and hats to our chosen spot at the…
Free Nature Scavenger Hunt Printables
Are you a nature lover? I have been a “tree hugger,” as my Mama affectionately (I think affectionately?) calls me, for as long as I can remember. If the opportunity to be outside exists, that is where you will find me. That is why so much of the content here at How Wee Learn has…

Oh, summertime! How I love it. All that time with my little ones to play, enjoy, and get outside. Every time we adventure outside, it seems learning takes place. Loads of it! Natural learning, through play-based and child-led adventures, of course—and truly, most importantly. But summer is a great time to give little ones some…
Weather Activities for Preschoolers
Have you ever stopped to consider how amazing this world is? I think it helps that I am surrounded by little people all day long, but every time we head outside, we have at least one “WOW” moment. Children are so great at slowing down and noticing things. The amazing variability of weather we have…
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…
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…
