We were nestled in a few days ago on a chilly, drizzly day. The type of day that just makes you sleepy. The type of day absolutely perfect for snuggling little ones while watching a show or two. While my littlest had his nap, me and my middle-guy were watching a Sid the Science Kid….

How are Stalactites Formed? A Scientific Demonstration
The love of science is alive and well in our house right now. Both boys love everything dinosaur right now, with a fascination for space (amazingly awesome) close behind. I thought it was a great time to do some simple science experiments. We will be doing one with walking water soon, but today I think…
Learning with a BIG and Simple Catapult
Very hard to believe, but the first day we used our log balancing beam, we simply used it for balancing. The boys were so engaged with that neat activity that they didn’t even notice it’s launching capability. Until Day 2. Sam stepped on the beam a little bit too quickly and noticed how fast the…
Incubating Chicken Eggs: The Hatch!
If you follow along with us on our Facebook Page, you were able to share in our excitement this weekend! (And if you don’t, please do! www.Facebook.com/HowWeeLearn) A few weeks ago I wrote about incubating chicken eggs with kids and told you I would add a few more posts. I still owe you a post…
Hula Hoop Outdoor Tunnel
I now have proof that spring is here. Our ground has thawed enough that I can dig impulsive holes! As we were outside enjoying the beautiful weather, and the boys were riding around on some toy cars and bikes, I got an idea. I saw some hula hoops lying around and thought we could use…

How to Incubate Chicken Eggs with Kids!
Hatching chicken eggs with kids has to be one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Nature is amazing and watching little ones experience this first hand is incredible. The marvel, excitement, and oh all that learning! This is my third time hatching eggs with kids, though my first time doing it at…
Exploring a Birds Nest
We were out on a hunt for spring this weekend as we were up North. Rather ironic really. Travelling North to look for signs of warmer weather. We looked and really tried – but spring, on the 9th of March, was not yet to be found. No buds, or puddles, or even grass peeking through…
The Nuts and Bolts of Learning with Tools
Last weekend, the kids made birdhouses. ‘Real’ birdhouses with hammers, nails, and saws. I have been holding on to that post to publish on a day when my skin is particularly thick, because I know I will receive some comments about letting my toddler use a hammer. But we do. We let our kids build…
