Stump and Nails Geoboard

October 3, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I am always, always cold. I also hardly ever, ever wear socks. The combination of these two competing forces means that come winter we best have a lot of firewood. The conversation about how much firewood we should have always goes something like this: “I think 6 cords really would be enough. The neighbours have…

A Learning-Filled Scavenger Hunt!

March 24, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

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…

Bean Bag Toss on the Stairs

February 12, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

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…

Counting Snails

September 18, 2015 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. And this is actually not one of those times. But that’s okay because I really want to share this with you. Why? I’m not too sure. It’s not that great of an idea, perhaps some would even say it might be considered slightly…

Wooden Blocks Made from Our Old Tree

July 21, 2014 by Sarah 18 Comments

Wooden blocks are wonderful learning toys for kids.  Wooden blocks can come in all different shapes and sizes and can be very easily homemade.  My 3 year old absolutely loves playing with blocks right now, so we decided to make him some wooden blocks for outdoors.                  …

Benefits of Small World Play

December 30, 2013 by Sarah 4 Comments

When I posted about Toy Truck Games, I mentioned that Sammy turned it into his own ‘Small World’ in a way.  I decided to take that idea and run with it! This parking lot small world was a bigger hit then I had imagined! In a nut shell, small world play involves creating a scene…

Preschool Math Games Graphing

Preschool Math Games: Graphing with Nature

October 3, 2013 by Sarah 6 Comments

Preschool math games can be so much fun!  This is a great game we use at home to help introduce the tricky concept of graphing. Graphing likely seems simple to most adults, but to wee ones it can be very tricky!  Preschoolers often get confused with the concepts of ‘bigger/longer’ and ‘more’.  But this simple…
