Attention all kindergarten parents…I see you. I hear you. Teaching a child to read is hard work. Even harder if your child is homeschooled and it falls completely on you to guide them. After homeschooling my son last year, during the prime pandemic time, I have an even greater appreciation for teachers. Teaching my son to read was [Read more…]
If you have young children that don’t naturally like to color or draw, color by numbers worksheets are a great tool to help get your child interested in coloring— an activity that helps develop some much-needed skills for their future.

If you’re like me, you’ve been looking forward to gift giving season and have probably bought at least a few items already. The kids and/or grandkids have, most likely, already have been dropping hints and circling items in the Christmas Amazon catalog. I’m always going to get my people a lot of what’s on their special list, but whether or not they’re on the list, books are always going to be part of my holiday giving. I’ve read many, many books over the years to my kids and grandson, as well as donating them to children in need, and these are some of my favorite.
Halloween is just around the corner and I’m getting excited for a day filled with fun activities, games, and dressing up of course.

I’m sharing another playful vinegar and baking soda activity for the little ones this Halloween. It’s a Halloween Potion Explosion for those who love baking soda experiments as much as we do.
Due to COVID-19, we opted to stay home last Halloween and par-take in Halloween festivities with some fun family games, movies, and Halloween crafts. We had so much fun last year that we’ve decided to do the same thing this year. Which means I’ll be adding this Halloween Potion Explosion activity to the list of things to do this Halloween.

Summer is in full swing which means it’s time to break out the swimsuits and sunscreen. Like the majority of the country, traveling is back on our radar. Every summer our family packs up the house (literally) and heads to the beach for a full week of nothing but sun, sand, and waves. I usually bring a handful of activities and crafts to do during lunch breaks or in case it rains, so this year I’ll be bringing along this Beach Vacation Scavenger Hunt for some extra beach fun.

For early readers, like my 5-year-old, letters and beginning letter sounds are the foundation for reading. I have found that for my little one when he practices writing his letters, it also helps activate and reinforce the method of memorizing the sounds each letter makes. This free printable- Roll and Write Letter Practice- is a fun activity that not only helps your early reader develop their writing skills needed for reading. [Read more…]
