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…
Weather Activities for Preschoolers
Have you ever stopped to consider how amazing this world is? I think it helps that I am surrounded with little people all day long, but every time we head outside we have at least one “WOW” moment. Children are so great at slowing down and noticing things. The amazing variability of weather we have…
Outdoor Fall Activities for Preschoolers
I am not so sure that I have EVER been this excited for Fall. You may have heard me say before how I am trying to embrace each season for what it is. Enjoy the weather and activities that come with each season, and all that good stuff. But I am done. with. summer. It…
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…

Kid-made Rollerskates!
There are certain posts that I never plan on writing. A post on how to make your own rollerskates? Definitely not something that I thought was in my wheel house to share. However, amazing things can happen when you let little ones play, explore, and create – can’t they? My Sam is the inventor behind…
Seed Germination for Kids – The Results!
A little while ago I wrote a post on seed germination for kids. In that post, I told you I would do a follow up post on the activities we did as the seeds were growing, and about the results of which seeds grew fastest (or grew at all!) Wonderful news! You no longer need…
Seed Germination for Kids
As I mentioned last week, our vegetable seeds arrived for our summer garden. This was our very first sign of spring around here … as we are still covered in snow. So we of course took the opportunity for a spring activity right away – with this seed sorting and comparing activity. And, trying to…
