We love doing photo scavenger hunts and over Spring Break we went on a couple.  The kids each took a turn choosing a color or word to look for throughout the day.  T chose red and J chose the word ‘the’.  As we found the selected color or word around our community the kids took… Read More

KidsKorner: [School Memory Binders]

08/18/200912/31/2016

  Does it seem like you are bombarded with paper once the school year starts?  It does for me.  It seems like every year the kids bring home tons (and I do mean tons) of ‘priceless’ memories.  I’m pretty sure we’ve cut down our own rain forest with the amount of papers we get each… Read More

This was such a fun activity, the kids loved creating their own tiny rock village!  We collected varying sizes of river rock, washed them and painted them with acrylic paint.

What you’ll need: crayons (I use broken ones, but you could use new ones) glitter (optional) muffin tin (one that you don’t mind getting a little crayon on.… Read More

Sand Play

04/20/200901/06/2017

Kids love experimenting with sand. Because it is naturally tactile, sand is a perfect way for children explore colors and patterns, of course they don’t care about that, they just want to have fun!   Here is an easy art project the kids love…in the back yard (hint, hint).  To introduce the activity we watched this… Read More

[Edible Bird Nests]

03/26/200901/13/2017

My kids love spotting birds’ nests; especially now, in the leafless trees.  Yesterday as we walked T to preschool, J found one that had fallen out of a tree.  Of course, he wanted to pick it up, bring it home, and put it with the rest of his treasures.  I’ll take the hermit crabs, ant farms, fish,… Read More

Homemade Finger Paint

03/24/200901/06/2017

On an especially trying night (and sometimes in the middle of the day…hello Spring Break!), when my kids have been very full of life and my patience is wearing thin, I make a batch of this and let the kids take a good long bath full of creativity!  Kids can have fun making a huge… Read More

The kids wanted to say thank you to Patrick for all of his sneaky goodies so we decided to make Leprechaun Doughnuts. These miniature doughnuts take only three ingredients but they are sure to put a smile on your Leprechaun. Just grab some O shaped cereal (or any other ‘holey’ cereal), frosting and some bright green… Read More
