I always have these big goals to get my kids outside and playing more often, or get them reading more, or doing more art, but I feel like I’m falling short.

Baloo is getting to the age where he needs to be learning more words surrounding a topic or theme. Since we’re working on reindeer this week I thought starting there would be great! I didn’t want to just make some flash cards, but I thought color-by-number words would be very entertaining for him! After coloring,…
