Big M (age 4) is obsessed with the movie, Brave, and pretending to be Merida.  So much so, that she often runs around the house with a plastic coat hanger (her bow) pretending to shoot arrows.  My husband and father-in-law have fed her obsession by taking her for archery practice…

A few year’s ago, I made these winter sensory bags – Jumbled Snowman – to keep the kids occupied and give their little fingers a challenge. They loved them so much, they ask for a new version ALL the time. This month, for Halloween sensory play, I’ve created a Jumbled…

Winter has fully descended upon us this week, with LOTS of snow and bitter cold. To keep the kiddos entertained, we made this fun winter sensory and fine motor activity for preschoolers, affectionately named – Jumbled Snowman. And you can find nearly all the supplies you need to make one…

Confession… this *may* be inspired by my college tailgating days.  I knew these miniature red cups would come in handy this holiday!  First, I turned them into a holiday version of cup and ball, and today, we have more holiday party games: Jingle Bell Toss! If you love this, be…

“I want to learn my letters!” That has been my 3 year old’s mantra since her first day of preschool. Her quest has increased ten-fold since my 5 year old has gone from pre-reader to early reader over the last couple of weeks. And while she can sing her ABCs, we…

There are lots of children’s developmental and educational milestones we celebrate as parents… your baby’s first steps, first words, their first day of school, learning to read. Raising your kids to love books and be lifelong readers is one of the best things you can do for them – no matter…

Sprinklers. Bush forts. Spitting watermelon seeds. Chasing the ice cream truck.  Playing ‘Colored Eggs’ in the pool. Those are the throwback kids activities for summer I remember from my childhood.  And oh, how memorable they were.  I want to fill my kids’ summers with just as awesome memories.  For the month…

You spend hours filling eggs, creating a diversion to sneak out and hide them all… the egg hunt itself is over in 10-15 minutes tops.  Now what?  Whether you are planning your preschooler’s Easter party at school or need some Easter ideas to burn off those chocolate bunny highs, these…

Despite Easter being less than a month away, it snowed here again this week… and since moving to New England nearly 10 years ago, I have seen more than my fair share of egg hunts amidst patches of snow, it’s always important to plan indoor fun for Easter, just in…

Lil’ M has been struggling with recognizing her colors.  We keep practicing through play, and she now names about half of them correctly, most of the time.  For this month’s Rainbow-themed Top 10 series , I sought out to find more fun color matching activities. Top 10 Color Matching Activities for Toddlers…
