Make Believe: The Drawing Chef

April 9, 2020 by Sarah 5 Comments

We do a lot of make believe play at home.  Madeline loved it when she was a bit smaller, and Sammy, at the age of three, has just started his love for make believe too.  Today I thought I would share an imaginative play activity that we love right now – and it could not…

Quick-Dry Rainbow Salt Tray

February 22, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I am so excited to be partnering with The Pencil Grip to share their awesome new Thin Stix with you. We all have different strengths and different needs, right? One of my strengths, I do believe, is my willingness to let my little ones get messy. It really doesn’t bother me one bit watching them…

10 breathtaking Winter books for kids. Gorgeous stories all children should hear.

Breathtaking Winter books all kids should hear

December 7, 2016 by Sarah 2 Comments

We truly do live quite simply. You won’t find anything all that extravagant out here and thanks to a big de-cluttering movement last year, you won’t find much at all really. Not too many toys, or clothes, or “stuff”. With one exception. Books. We have bookshelves and bookshelves full of books. Mostly children’s books and…

Teaching kids to rhyme game!

The Cow and Bear Rhyme Game {A photo on Friday}

December 11, 2015 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A photo on Friday. Did you know that a child’s ability to rhyme in Kindergarten is a direct correlation with his reading success in Grade one? It’s true. So if you are looking to give your little one a leg up on reading, have fun with a rhyme or two. We practice rhyming mostly through…

Sight word games on the Pumpkin Patch

October 21, 2015 by Sarah 1 Comment

I have been wondering for a little while what to do with my older posts. Since I have been doing this for quite some time now, some of my old posts feel a bit awkward to me. I sort of feel like I was in that awkward teenage phase where I was trying to impress…

Fall Crafts: Fall Leaf Letters

August 3, 2015 by Sarah 6 Comments

With Fall on it’s way I have been thinking of my favourite Fall crafts for kids. This one we did last September, and it was such a hit we will be doing it again this year. It also held up really well, and looked great for a long time. This one is a great craft…

The Secret to Peaceful Days at Home with Kids

May 11, 2015 by Sarah 6 Comments

Time to be a little honest here. In this space I like to write about our learning adventures at home, the fun times, and the joyous moments with my little ones. But, truth be told, things aren’t always peachy. In fact, for awhile last year, things were flat out terrible. My busy boys were simply…

Kid’s Recipes: Sam’s Smoothies

January 1, 2014 by Sarah 9 Comments

An important activity for kids to practice is following directions.  Using a recipe is a fun way to practice this skill.  It also makes for a reading activity and math activity too!  Isn’t it great when that happens?!  My kids all love to bake – and in my house, baking or cooking refers to anything…

Silly Kids Songs

Silly Kids Songs – Why and What?

October 25, 2013 by Sarah 3 Comments

I have yet to meet a 3 year old who did not enjoy a good silly song.  Silly kids songs may seem just that – silly.  But in fact, they are actually a wonderful way for kids to learn.  I know, it sounds ridiculous.  How is an Old Lady who Swallows a Fly teaching my…

Not-so-Spooky Pine Cone Crafts And Matching Poems

October 10, 2013 by Sarah 3 Comments

Sammy is a collector of ‘treasures’ – as I believe most 3 year olds are.  Lately on our walks he has been finding and collecting pine cones.  We found some great big beautiful ones yesterday, so decided they would be perfect for pine cone crafts for kids!  We know some great “5 Little” Halloween poems,…
