I am eagerly partnering with Oak Meadow today to tell you all about the book The Heart of Learning. And Oak Meadow is generously offering this book to THREE lucky winners! I first read The Heart of Learning a year ago and I have referenced it many times since then. To get prepared for writing…
Letter Flowers
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Sam will be 6 next week and is ALL about printing right now. We made cute Letter Flowers for him to play with this new skill. I wrote a letter in the middle, and his job was to write words that started with…
Mail Play! Matching Uppercase and Lowercase Letters
Alphabet learning is something that is near and dear to me. Having taught Kindergarten I have worked with many little people and helped them learn the alphabet through play. Some little ones I have worked with learn the alphabet really quickly, and for others, it takes more time. My preschooler falls in the latter group….
A Learning-Filled Scavenger Hunt!
Do you know what makes me really happy? Well, lots of things actually. But one of those things? When I find a fun-filled activity that my boys love and it is also full of learning. Really good learning too – vocabulary, math, fine and gross motor development – all the good stuff! I am so…
A Scavenger Hunt to Find Colours!
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Well, I am cheating a little this week – as this is actually a full post … but it’s a full post over on Hands on as we Grow, so it is kind of like a photo on Friday here. Sort of. Anyways,…
Preschool Easter Activities with Plastic Eggs!
Wow, Easter sure snuck up on me this year! Hard to believe it is just a couple of weeks away. Last year, we wound up with tons of plastic Easter eggs (they were needed due to a certain little pup, and certain feathery ladies, who adore Easter candy). After the hunt, I popped them all…
Kids’ Candor Giveaway!
I am excited to partner with Kids’ Candor today to introduce you to a really neat idea! I have heard so many times, and I am sure you have too, that little ones can easily learn a second language – it’s much harder to pick it up down the road. The problem? Well, what if…
On-the-Go Quiet Time Activities
Quiet time activities for trips and travelling! Are you getting tired of me sharing quiet time activities yet? Impossible! Great quiet time activities make for great quiet times. Great quiet times make for happy kids. And happy kids – well in my world, that means a happy me! One time when I really, really love…
Learn to Write with a Scavenger Hunt
We are in the middle of an exciting adventure right now – Sammy is completely taken with learning to write. He loves it! As you may know, I am a proponent for waiting to have little ones learn to write. There are SO many other things for those little hands to do! Playing in many…
Bean Bag Toss on the Stairs
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. I don’t know why I have not utilized our stairwell for kids activities more. Good grief! They are perfect for my little ones to climb up and down tuckering their little beings right on out. We popped some numbers up there recently for…
