A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. This was such a fun craft! We used sticky contact paper and mirrors to make nature portraits. I wrote all about it over on CBC Parents if you are keen to read more. Have a wonderful weekend friends, and thank you for reading!…
Playdough Construction Site Homemade Gift
We are on a mission these days to make our own. Make our own toys, food, and gifts. I have some trouble with the last one though (well, and the food one … but that is for another day). I fear, sometimes, that giving homemade gifts is perceived as being cheap. While we do like…

3 Little Robins
A couple of weeks ago we noticed a nest in one of our trees. Very shortly after that we noticed some eggs. And shortly after that (though it seemed like an eternity) those little eggs turned into beautiful baby birds. Of course my little ones wanted to stand right by that tree and peek at…
Clothespins Outside {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. This photo on Friday is sort of more an idea on Friday. Bring some clothespins outside! As I am hanging my laundry on the line my little ones clip clothespins to the highest tree leaves they can. They also try to pick up…

This Weeks Quiet Boxes
Phew! What a week! The beautiful Canadian spring weather has actually come our way. While that means it is only a degree or two (or three!), it feels like the middle of summer in comparison to the -20s last week. And with this beautiful weather comes our time outside again. Almost all of our time….
Yarn Bombed Chair Turned Dollhouse
The verdict is still out as to whether this idea is brilliant, or ridiculous. And perhaps it is one of those ideas that will depend on the eye of the beholder. To me, as you might imagine as the creator, this idea is genius. To my hubby this idea seems a tad unorthodox. Of course…
A Photo on Friday: Apple Boat
A photo on Friday – because sometimes, all you need is the photo. {And maybe the ingredients: Apple, peanut butter, raisins, dry spaghetti noodle, and cheese} Fewer words then last week – I’m improving! Happy weekend Friends! Please consider liking us on Facebook so we can share more creative learning activities with you and your…
