Toddler Butterfly Craft: Math Art!
Did you see my Math Art Blog Post? The boys and I made beautiful flowers using a weaving technique. While they were nice and simple to make, they were not toddler simple. Not preschooler simple either. I really like giving my children crafts and activities they can truly do independently. A bit of support is…

This is NOT Homeschooling

Cardboard Puppet Theater
Over the past year, we have created a nice rhythm during the week, but quiet time on the weekends looks different. Without many day trips or outings, we are home all day. We all love a day in our PJs, but we find that our days work best if we still have some structure. I…

He’s been to museums before, but this time there was a noticeable interest and preference for the sculptures, that outweighed the paintings on exhibit. I took the opportunity to encourage my preschooler to think about the materials used, proportions, and where to stand so we could…
