Ivory Soap ExperimentWe finally did the Ivory Soap experiment, and it was every bit as fun as promised. Although, I have to admit that only 1 of my boys (Royal) really enjoyed it. He played with the soapy, flaky mixture for an hour, and most of that time by himself.The initial experiment was a…

When the Virtual Book Club featured Kevin Henkes we picked up a box set called A Box of Treats, and one of our favorite books in it was Owen’s Marshmallow Chick. In the book Owen gets an Easter basket and eats all the treats until he gets to the Marshmallow Chick and realizes it’s the…
If you haven’t heard of the Ivory Soap experiment by now, then you are missing out. It’s been on my list of things to try, and I finally remembered to buy Ivory soap the other day. (It HAS to be Ivory brand soap – other’s will not work!) All you have to do is take…
This is the first month of the Poppins Book Nook blog hop and the theme this month was Knights, Princesses, and Castles. We are conveniently in the midst Medieval week, so we have a bunch of medieval books out from the library. We first read The Knight and the Dragon when we were…
Logi-Bear 23 monthsRoyal – 3 years 11 months We’ve had a pretty busy few weeks. We’re really getting into All About Reading Pre-Reading with Royal. He loves singing the alphabet song and pointing at the letters. We often end up doing it multiple times a day! That’s the only formal curriculum we have, and we’re…
We’ve had a very active and very messy couple of weeks. The weather has been off and on (although I can’t complain because its been mostly beautiful!) so we’ve spent some time indoors trying to stay sane. Royal loved blowing these bubbles in a cup and letting them flower over. He blew bubbles for a…
We’ve been working diligently on our ABCs, and I’m really pleased with how the set is turning out. I was planning to do a review set every 5 letters, but then last week I was contacted by Niki from Living Worlds Apart who said she had put together a review set of her own, based…
I’ve been trying to pick up some of the Five in a Row titles that I cannot find at my local library and do not already own…but since we have Before Five in a Row, and Five in a Row volumbers 1-3, that’s way too many books to memorize! And I definitely cannot remember which…
We were recently counting our money, when Logi-Bear tried to eat one of the pennies. My main reason to not let him? Because money is dirty. Which naturally led to a discussion about cleaning the money, and started our next experiment! What is the best way to clean a penny? We looked up methods of…
We’re really excited for spring to come and the boys are loving the springy crafts we’ve been doing! We recently received a few packages with bubble wrap in them, and I’ve been dying to do a bubble wrap craft! So, bubble wrap flowers it was! I started off by making some flower petal stamps. I…
I’ve been joining in with the Virtual Book Club for Kids for 8 months now and I’ve found so many new-to-me authors who I now love – and Julia Donaldson is about to be another one! I was not familiar with any of her books before this month. Our local library, sadly, had just 3…
