Wondering about the order for teaching letters to your little ones? I’m on it! I feel as though I am always writing about waiting to teach letter recognition. Wait and let little hands get strengthened by other activities. Wait until little minds have had ample time to hear different words and sounds. But a day…
Science Experiment: Why Do Leaves Change Colour?
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…
Fabulous Fall Science Experiments
I really do love fall. I always have. The beautiful colors, the crisp air, pumpkin spiced everything… and perhaps most importantly, the end of MOSQUITOES! Mind you, this year wasn’t too bad for the guys, but I remember a few years back the mosquitoes in our area were truly out of this world. Our neighbours…

Telling Time – I Think It’s Time!
Time sure flies. I remember so vividly tucking that little 6-year-old of mine into bed when it was well before 7:00 pm on a cold winter’s night. His tired little body getting some much needed rest. And Mama too. But those days, I fear are a thing of the past. With a clock in his…
Awesome Alphabet Activities for Preschoolers
I thought it was time to share some alphabet activities for preschoolers. Alphabet activities and How Wee Learn definitely seem to go hand in hand. I have shared with you oodles of letter activities before AND a (rather lengthy) post about why I don’t actually suggest teaching letters in ABC order. But I have not…
Learning Activities for 3 Month Old Babies
When my little ones were 3-month-old babies, I could not have written this post. I could not have formulated coherent sentences to write about learning activities for 3-month-old babies. And if I had found the time—and words—to write it (miraculously), I would have certainly opted to sleep. But now with my youngest growing up way…
Geo Board Bath Mat
Well, here’s a unique post for you! If you join me on my Facebook page often—and if you don’t, please do!—you may know I have been wanting to make a Geo Board for my kids. Sometimes I will read far too much about a project, look at tons of gorgeous photos, and then feel overwhelmed…
Reading Activities: Name in a Jar
An oldie but a goodie for you today, my friend. A flashback 8 years ago when I was beginning to teach Sam his letters and sounds. Spoiler alert – it worked! Here is that post on teaching letters and sounds from all those years ago … We are playing our way to learning to read!…
How to Learn to Write
Are you ready for a walk down memory lane? Well, it is only my memory, so I suppose it’s more like a walk down story lane. And just to warn you, it might be a little bit of a lengthy walk. Please feel free to skip down the lane (ha!) until I get to the…
