Make Believe: The Drawing Chef

April 9, 2020 by Sarah 5 Comments

We do a lot of make believe play at home.  Madeline loved it when she was a bit smaller, and Sammy, at the age of three, has just started his love for make believe too.  Today I thought I would share an imaginative play activity that we love right now – and it could not…

Sensory Activities for Toddlers

February 8, 2020 by Adelaide Ventura 1 Comment

Little ones learn with their whole bodies. Sensory activities for toddlers (such as these ones focusing on the sense of touch) are a very important part of that whole body learning. Sensory play exposes children to many new experiences, textures, and materials. It is calming for many children and also presents children with new language…

Christmas Ornaments made with Salt Dough and Cloves

December 15, 2019 by Sarah 3 Comments

We woke up to a winter wonderland! And after quite a bit of snow disappointment too. We were told there would be snow on Monday – nothing. Tuesday for sure – nothing. Wednesday we would be buried! Nothing. Thursday: get those parkas out – nothing. Friday the snow finally arrived! But for some reason not…

Spring Crafts for 2 Year Olds

May 9, 2019 by Sarah 4 Comments

Spring! A time for flowers and butterflies and … brightly coloured toddler crafts? I should mention, for those of you who visit regularly and may be scratching your head — I don’t in fact have a two year old. But I am really holding onto that ‘toddler’ title of this baby of mine. Stretching it…

5 Busy Bags with ANY Deck of Cards

February 26, 2019 by Sarah 8 Comments

Oh Busy bags! You just have to love them! Though I really don’t love the name, to be honest. Busy bags sound to me like they are about keeping kids busy. While that is all well and fine (and certainly can serve a purpose), I prefer to think of them as quiet time activities. Quiet…

A STEM Snowman Craft

December 19, 2018 by Sarah 6 Comments

Are you grossed out with the thought of using toilet rolls in crafts for kids?  Would you be okay to build a snowman craft with a toilet roll?  If not, close your eyes and pretend I am using a paper towel roll.  (But I’m not … and I may have dug it out of the…

Winter Art for Toddlers

December 18, 2018 by Sarah 5 Comments

My baby is now 2 and fully into the crafting that goes on daily around here.  I wrote about 50 crafts for 2 year olds recently – crafts that I love for toddlers because they focus on the process, not the end result.  I thought I would do the same sort of post, but specifically…
