These short 6 months are my absolute favourite time of baby development. I simply adore these young toddlers. Baby development may seem to slow a bit for these 6 months in the physical realm. But these wee ones are developing big in so many other ways.
Counting Games with Magic
My Sammy is fussy with counting games. He is a very busy wee one, this boy of mine. The idea of sitting still to focus on numbers and counting games is not really his thing. So I brought out some magic – and poof! – he couldn’t wait to count!
Preschool Games: Math Games at the Mall

The Rubber Egg!
This science experiment for kids is a crowd pleaser. Making a hard boiled egg bounce is very impressive.

This was day 5 of our Science…
