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…
It’s my turn to share the Picture Book of the Day and my choice was Even Monsters Need Haircuts! This is a fun little Halloween book that’s not scary at all. And it’s a bit funny too. We loved the book! I wanted to create a cutting activity for Royal and Logi-Bear. I had…
Royal enjoys crafts a lot, but he really prefers to do them his way. Which means no overly complicated crafts or ideas. Which is why I may have a lot of craft ideas that I refer to as simple…And that’s okay! Kids should be allowed access to art materials to do with as they please…
I’m so excited to be joining with Sarah from Little Bins for Little Hands, who has so many amazing sensory ideas, for this Sensory Play Party! I just love sensory play and sensory bins and lucky for me, my kids do too (usually!). So I’ll be sharing our favorite sensory play of the week, and…
Nick Sharatt is a new author to me and unfortunately our library only carries one of his books But it’s an amazing book! We loved The Foggy Foggy Forest! Royal and I had a great time guessing what would be on the next page. He was right a lot of the time, too! We…
For day 2 of my 31 days of Homeschool Printables I bring you cutting strip art! Last week I put out these cutting strip printables to download. I couldn’t wait to use them with Royal, but I wanted to wait until we could buy some colored paper. We finally had a chance to print…
Royal is working on counting, 1:1 correspondence, recognizing numbers, etc etc. We’ve used clip cards in the past with a bit of a different style. I wanted to recreate them a bit so they would be more versatile. With these cards we can put them in order 1-10, we can match the numbers on the…
It’s time for the August Virtual Book Club for Kids and the author this month is Donald Crews! I knew we’d be doing Freight Train this month – after all, Logi-Bear is crazy about trains. Crazy might not even describe his love for trains. I love how Crews shows motion in the book. …
For the summer we have been working through Easy Peasy with Royal, but I’m adding in a few hands on activities to go with the letters. It’s fun for me, fun for him…win-win! For B week we decided to have a pseudo-row of Blueberries for Sal. We love this book so reading it everyday, multiple…
Royal and Logi-Bear are working on 1:1 correspondence, counting, numbers, etc. I wanted to create and fun and coloring way for them to practice all of those! I collected a few toilet paper rolls and pom poms. I only did 1-5 so far, mostly because the toilet paper rolls were getting too short. I cut…
Last year I had started on a Truck ABC project for Royal. I got through letter D before he began to lose interest, and I got caught up in other projects. Well, this year he is interested again, AND Logi-Bear is interested too! And this year I am determined to get through Z with Royal,…
