Everything coloured. That is the theme in our house right now. The brighter the better. Tons of painting, with the purplest trees you have ever seen. Loads of crafting, with the wildest markers available. Since it is still so white outside, we are making it very spring-like inside. While our first theme is colour, or…
Amazing Fine Motor Activities that Build Dexterity
There is no rush for little hands to write. There is no rush for little hands to write. I know I write this in this space again and again. And I have even created images on the topic! Why do I keep on writing it? Because it is so important. And if something is important…
Super fun ways to Play and Learn with STICKERS!
Who doesn’t love stickers? While I was teaching in the classroom I never once ran across a child that did not love a good sticker activity. I am not sure what it is, but stickers are just, plain, awesome. I am partnering with Pipsticks today to share some fun ways to play and learn with…

The countdown has begun. Already. Though, I suppose, why shouldn’t it? A birthday is a wonderful reason to celebrate, and a 5th birthday? Hardly anything better. With a 5th birthday mere days away (albeit 20 days …) my Sammy was very excited, and ready to do something to get ready for his birthday. I figured…
