So Baloo recently started fractions, among other mathematical concepts. It seems like there’s just been an explosion of new concepts lately. Anyway, I immediately noticed there is a severe lack of colorful and fun fraction practice. You can only cut a pizza into so many fractions! So naturally I had to put something together. What’s…
Baloo is back in a Star War phase and has told me he would do extra multiplication work if it was Star Wars themed. Naturally, I jumped on that opportunity!! I knew a Star Wars Multiplication pack would get him invested in working on his multiplication skills! Multiplication isn’t necessarily that difficult but practice multiplication…
We like to go on walks through “nature” (the neighborhood) and pick up things we find interesting. I thought for once we would collect a bunch of different things that we find and use it to make prints in play dough. It’s just another way to explore nature! I tried to get them to…
I’m in love with making slime. It’s just such an interesting texture and substance. I’m constantly mesmerized by the way it moves. I just cannot get enough. And thankfully, neither can the boys! They all love it, including Baloo who is usually resistant to messy sensory play!! He doesn’t like getting his hands dirty. I…
It’s Virtual Book Club for Kids time again and this month the author is Marcus Pfister! We decided to do a craft to go along with Penguin Pete. We’d already been on a bit of a penguin kick anyway! Our local Micheals and Joanns did not have any penguin toobs so we bought 2 of…
Welcome to the Sensory Play Party hosted by myself and Little Bins for Little Hands! This week we experimented with goop (cornstarch and water). I love the fact that goop is so easy to make, which means I love to experiment with the recipe. I decided to add some gelatin to the mix to see…
So Baloo loves Minecraft. We found out about a website called Minecraft Homeschool, and they have a lite program for kids 5-15 all about the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World. I didn’t even hesitate – we signed him right up. It was 2 weeks before the class started though, so I wanted to give…
Turkey’s are just too much fun. There are endless options for turkey crafts, activities, etc. I love turkeys! This year we decided to do a sorting turkey. I cut out the turkey body and feathers. Then I added shapes to each feather. I did either one, two, or three of each shape. Then we had…
There have been a LOT of changes in our household recently. We finally back in our own place and not living with family (how lucky we are to have such supportive family! It’s nice to be back in our own place though). We have all of our school supplies back which has been a lot…
November is all about being thankful, right? It’s the month we’ve dedicated to remembering everything we appreciate, all the people in our lives we love, and things we think we cannot live without (ahem, pumpkin spice lattes…) I think the first step to raising kids who are not full of the entitlement attitude that has…
Whoever said ‘Don’t play with your food’ didn’t know how much fun food is! We started off with giant marshmallows, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, toothpicks, water, and gel food marker things. To get the sprinkles to stick, we put a bit of water on the marshmallows. Then we sprinkled. And sprinkled, and sprinkled, and sprinkled! We…
I was so excited to see Cassie post about some activities she does with season erasers! We had JUST purchased the same erasers and I love her ideas. I’m going to add a few more ideas to her list that were fun for us! For Logi-Bear I did a simple color sorting setup. Green…
