A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Sam will be 6 next week and is ALL about printing right now. We made cute Letter Flowers for him to play with this new skill. I wrote a letter in the middle, and his job was to write words that started with…
Mail Play! Matching Uppercase and Lowercase Letters
Alphabet learning is something that is near and dear to me. Having taught Kindergarten I have worked with many little people and helped them learn the alphabet through play. Some little ones I have worked with learn the alphabet really quickly, and for others, it takes more time. My preschooler falls in the latter group….
GIVEAWAY! How to Help a Colicky Baby in 5 Steps!
I am so excited to partner with Happi Tummi to bring you this post on How to Help a Colicky Baby. Now of course I am not a doctor. I am a Mama who has had three babies, one of which was very, very colicky. I will not name that poor little babe, but I…
Spring!
The most amazing thing happened on the weekend – Spring! Well, one day of it at least. The snow did return yesterday, but that is just part and parcel for living in Canada, eh? But that one day – goodness, it was good. We spent every last minute outside and enjoying the sunshine (and the…
A Learning-Filled Scavenger Hunt!
Do you know what makes me really happy? Well, lots of things actually. But one of those things? When I find a fun-filled activity that my boys love and it is also full of learning. Really good learning too – vocabulary, math, fine and gross motor development – all the good stuff! I am so…
Tea Cup Candle
Here’s the thing about homemade Christmas presents. I love them! But I hardly ever (never) accomplish all that I hope I will. Luckily my sisters have birthdays in March which gives me a few extra months to put the finishing touches on gifts (Or begin them … ). I saw these cute teacup candles at…
A Scavenger Hunt to Find Colours!
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Well, I am cheating a little this week – as this is actually a full post … but it’s a full post over on Hands on as we Grow, so it is kind of like a photo on Friday here. Sort of. Anyways,…
Preschool Easter Activities with Plastic Eggs!
Wow, Easter sure snuck up on me this year! Hard to believe it is just a couple of weeks away. Last year, we wound up with tons of plastic Easter eggs (they were needed due to a certain little pup, and certain feathery ladies, who adore Easter candy). After the hunt, I popped them all…
Snow-Frozen Yogurt Melts
In the summer we made these yummy (oh so yummy), simple (oh so simple), and healthy (oh so … well, pretty healthy) yogurt melts. Since February has hit hard, with a one-two punch in the face with snow and power outages, I thought I would fight back. How- you might be asking? Well, by using…
Kids’ Candor Giveaway!
I am excited to partner with Kids’ Candor today to introduce you to a really neat idea! I have heard so many times, and I am sure you have too, that little ones can easily learn a second language – it’s much harder to pick it up down the road. The problem? Well, what if…
