Why this did not occur to me sooner I have no idea … I have had a game changing discovery — are you ready for it? A sandbox on wheels. Seems simple (which is actually beautiful) but think of the possibilities! I wrote all about it for Melissa and Doug – trust me friends, you…

A Scavenger Hunt to Find Colours!
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Well, I am cheating a little this week – as this is actually a full post … but it’s a full post over on Hands on as we Grow, so it is kind of like a photo on Friday here. Sort of. Anyways,…
Preschool Easter Activities with Plastic Eggs!
Wow, Easter sure snuck up on me this year! Hard to believe it is just a couple of weeks away. Last year, we wound up with tons of plastic Easter eggs (they were needed due to a certain little pup, and certain feathery ladies, who adore Easter candy). After the hunt, I popped them all…

The Easiest Play Dough Recipes
Is there anything better than a fresh batch of playdough when you’re little? I know it is something my little ones LOVE. We have a pretty stellar no-cook easy playdough recipe that is a staple around here. But the other day, I mixed it up a little and tried out a new playdough recipe. Best….
Make a Holiday Craft Box!
Things have been busy around here lately friends. And truthfully, not fabulous. Nothing big at all, and I know I shouldn’t complain, just a lot of not so super days. You know the ones I am sure, the ones that make it hard to be the Mama. Given the above, I have had a couple…
The Cow and Bear Rhyme Game {A Photo on Friday}
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…
Christmas-y Playdough Play Take 2
A photo on Friday. Happy Friday friends. This week we had some more Christmas-y fun with playdough. The kids were rolling thick and thin ropes of playdough (here is my ultimate no-cook recipe). These ropes were popped on to some white paper candy canes I had cut out. This activity is fabulous for developing and…
A Bathtub Water Wall {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. 5e36518d431346adfe4870d159c79482a1815ae0046e99fb20 Happy Friday friends! I am sharing with you something I am shocked I am brave enough to share on “the line” (have you seen that movie? Hilarious — I believe it’s called The Internship… though none of this is actually relevant …)…
