During some recent rains, we let our backyard go a little too long without tending and we ended up with some mushrooms growing on our lawn. While my husband was dismayed at the state of our yard, I saw learning potential. I asked my son to bring some mushrooms in for us to make mushroom […]
Snowman I Spy
Today I’m excited to share my new Snowman I Spy printables. Challenge your children (and yourself!) to find all the different snowmen. Then maybe use one of the snowmen in this printable as the inspiration for your own real-life snowman! After all, one of the great joys of winter snow is the opportunity to build […]
Winter Printables Bundle
I’ll be honest and tell you that winter is my least favorite season. The short days, lack of sun, and cold temperatures make me long for spring’s arrival. Nonetheless, there are things to celebrate about winter. Like ice skating, building snowmen, snow ball fights, and drinking hot chocolate. And I like to include these images […]

Not only do these make a great fine motor activity for kids, they are so beautiful that they are displayed in a prime spot in our living room right now. Indeed, my kids […]
Christmas Measurement Activity {free printable}
This week I’m releasing a new printable, my Christmas Measurement Activity pack, that supports children working on measurement skills. But what is measurement, and why is it important for children to engage in measurement activities? Measurement is the assignment of a numerical value to describe some characteristic of an object, such as its length or […]
Candy cane science experiment
This candy cane science experiment was the perfect way to combine two of my favorite things: science for kids and Christmas activities for kids. I love doing science with my kids. Maybe it’s because my mom – the kids’ grandmum – was a science teacher for most of her career. Or maybe it’s just because […]
