I am over the moon excited! For the past 18 months I have been working on a labor of love and it is just about finished. One more careful edit and it will be done. Done! I have to say, and I hope I do not sound as though I am gloating, it turned out…
Independent Valentine Preschool Activities
Any holiday is exciting when you are a little one! (Well actually, they are even more exciting when you have a little one.) Drawing on this natural excitement is a wonderful way to make learning meaningful for kids. My preschooler has been loving heart activities lately, so I thought I would find some new Valentine…
Swept Away with Learning!
I am over on the Melissa and Doug website today sharing how we have been swept away with learning. I was thrilled to find some child sized brooms, mops, and dustpans as Christmas gifts for my little ones. My boys are such great helpers that they are forever using my cleaning tools – making it…
Our Rhythm for Preschool at Home
Happy Holidays! I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful holiday season. We had a great holiday with lots of visiting, fun, and late nights too. Which means these little ones of mine are ready to get back into our daily rhythm. They may not think they are ready – but goodness are…

Why Do Birds Fly in a “V”?
How many questions do you get asked in a day? My count right now has to be close to 100. Inquisitive, curious kids are fabulous – though, truth be told, exhausting. While I have been known to respond with the day-dreamy “yep” in the car after responding to 38 questions about clouds, I really do…
Knitting for Kids
If it seems unbelievably ridiculous that I am about to write about knitting – hold onto your hats – because here I go. I can’t wait to share some of the cutest and most engaging knitting projects for kids. If you come here often you might recall my struggle with knitting hats last year. The struggle…
Make a Treasure Chest!
Do you have a little collector or two at home? I sure do. A lot of our homeschool learning activities don’t happen with pencil and paper, but instead with art and projects and paintings and creating lots of lovely and wonderful ‘things’! These two points, of course, mean that my little collectors will not be…
