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…
Felt Easter Eggs
With winter now behind us (officially anyways, not in the way that we still have snow on the ground), I thought it time to pack away a few winter things. I washed up our snow pants and coats, which of course meant I woke up to clean snowsuits and a world of white outside. The…
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…
Funny Face Snack Plate
Happy New Year!!! I sincerely hope you had a lovely holiday season and made some wonderful memories with your little ones. We had a nice Christmas with lots of family celebrations. And at each of those celebrations there were various (delicious) treats. Of course my little ones fully enjoyed each and every treat they were…
Snip Santa’s Beard
My boys are right in the ‘scissor phase.’ They love cutting, and so far we have been able to keep their cutting practice limited to paper. Come to think of it, I may have been asking for trouble introducing this craft to them—but it is so cute! We did this very cute Santa craft and…
The Button Tree
As you may know, this year we are doing Kindergarten at home. I am enjoying the freedom I have in doing just that. When I was teaching in the Kindergarten classroom I needed to follow a specific curriculum. At home, I can do as I please, and more importantly follow the cues of my little…
Classic Rhythmic Shaker – with a TWIST!
We made these rhythmic shakers a few weeks ago at a playgroup. The boys have been loving them ever since. I was thinking of which post I would like to write for you, but I couldn’t concentrate due to the spinning and shaking of our shakers. THEN, it hit me (literally – they are kind…
Sandpaper Letters
Alright – I told you I would post twice last week – I may have even used the ‘p’ word … but I didn’t. We had another bad storm which made me unplug for a couple of days. I do apologize, it seems best for me to not make promises about how often I will…
