Hi everyone- I’m back!!!! I know my dear friends have been asking when I would be coming back to blogging. Let me tell you I missed it. A day didn’t go by that it didn’t cross my mind. And each activity I did with my boys made me think of how much I wanted to share…
Hunter just loves copying whatever his big brother Cannon does. Unfortunately, Cannon gets into mischief pretty often (coloring on the sofa, jumping on his bed, climbing onto the kitchen table…Cannon is definitely in a little rebellious stage right now). So when Cannon goes down for a nap, it’s nice to have some alone time with Hunter. It’s a…
Remember that Secret Ingredient Cloud Dough I wrote about last week? Well we have been playing with it for a couple days now before I realized I never posted our activity! Here’s how we used it: Can I just say that the cloud dough smelled so wonderful! It was quite therapeutic to squish between my…
Cloud dough has been a major player in sensory activities for quite a while now. I’ve made it once before for Cannon and it was definitely a hit! As I sat planning St. Patrick’s day activities for my boys, I decided to bring back the cloud dough. The problem was I really wanted to dye it this…
My family and I live in Southern California- the land of eternal sunshine. We haven’t had a lot of winter around here, so unlike people in Northern California who would have to get a furnace installed and propane tanks set up (perhaps with the help of firms like Kelly Propane), we don’t have to…
Play-Doh is such a playtime staple, but most [toddler] parents want a dough that is a little more “sensory safe”. That’s where salt dough comes in. While it may not taste great, it’s safe to test. Cannon does in fact taste test it every time we use it (it only takes a small nibble before he realizes it’s not so…
March 2nd is fast approaching and kids everywhere will be reading Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish in celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. I can’t wait to see all the great activities that go along with these classic children’s stories! I haven’t come…
For Valentine’s Day my husband always gets me a beautiful bouquet of flowers (your resident florist similar to ones near Florist Cabrini Hospital will always have fresh ones for you) I adore flowers and I love admiring them on my table, but around this time each year I usually end up searching Google for “How to extend…
I have been wanting an AquaDoodle for my boys for a while now. It was on their Christmas wish list (as in “I wish someone else would shell out $30 for this item so I don’t have to”). And before that it was on Cannon’s birthday wish list (didn’t get it then either). But I’m on…
A magnetic bowl is not a standard item in playrooms or preschools (it’s more commonly found in mechanic’s shop), but it is such a great tool for investigation! Not only is the bowl magnetic, it’s also reflective so as your little munchkin plays they are able to see a bit of their own reflection! I decided…
