Have you been on Pinterest lately? I truly love Pinterest (are you following us over there? If not please do!). I find it so inspiring – though at times SO overwhelming. I was looking for some neat spring activities, and while I did find some awesome ideas – a lot were very complicated. I started…
Spring Crafts for 2 Year Olds
Spring! A time for flowers and butterflies and … brightly coloured toddler crafts? I should mention, for those of you who visit regularly and may be scratching your head — I don’t in fact have a two year old. But I am really holding onto that ‘toddler’ title of this baby of mine. Stretching it…
Garden Fun: Teaching Kids to Grow their Own Food
The snow is officially done here in Ontario (I hope you are listening Mother Nature – we are officially done … please). And this means it is time for some fun in the garden with my kids! Over the last few years I have really taken to vegetable gardening. I am far, far, far from…
Calming Activities for Preschoolers
If you have a preschooler I guarantee that you also have a need for these calming activities! Calming activities for preschoolers would definitely be in the parenting handbook (if only there was one). My boys tend to be on the busy side, so I am sure to include a few extra calming bins with our…
Winter Art for 2 Year Olds
My baby is now 2 and fully into the crafting that goes on daily around here. I wrote about 50 crafts for 2 year olds recently – crafts that I love for toddlers because they focus on the process, not the end result. I thought I would do the same sort of post, but specifically…
Christmas Art for Kids

The Warmest Yarn Crafts for Kids!
Good grief it is cold outside! It was just about this time last year when I shared my most controversial yarn craft for kids – our yarn bombed chair turned dollhouse. Yes, I do tend to go a bit loopy in the winter (and heaven help me by March – that was when the chickens…
TONS of Seed Activities for Kids
Do you know what Fall is perfect for? Some fun seed activities for kids! All of our plants have gone to seed, so we are finding so many treasures outside. It is amazing to see all of the different types of seeds. I thought I would compile a list of some seed activities for kids…
Fabulous Fall Science Experiments
I really do love Fall. I always have. But this year, it also means the end of MOSQUITOES, so I have never loved it quite this much. The mosquitoes have been out of this world. Our neighbours who have lived here for over 30 years claim they have never seen anything like it. And the…
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…
