Mouse Paint is a classic preschool colors book. My kids love reading (and rereading) this book, but color mixing is still a mystery to them. That prompted me to do this simple color mixing activity to help them understand it more! (This post contains affiliate links) Supplies Ziplock bags Paint in primary colors A small…
We love tractors. Tractor toys, activities, books, we love it all. Grandpa is a heavy machine operator (a.k.a. tractor driver) and his love for tractors had been passed on to my boys. Our Construction Zone Sensory Bin and Tractor Buffet have been big hits. Today we put a simple spin on those and just used…

If you’ve been around the blog very long, then you know I have a pension for activities based on books! I recently wrote a guest post for Happily Ever Mom featuring a book sorting activity on Little Blue Truck (Do you know the book? It is a well loved classic!) However, my boys weren’t quite…
I love sitting in the afternoons and planning home preschool activities. This week I have been pinning tons of apple activities, many which were inspired by the book 10 Apples up on Top (this paint stick activity from Mom Inspired Life is one of my favorites!)

We like to buy gently used books from thrift stores, and lately my oldest son has wanted to get every snake book we come across! We sit and read the books over and over. We’ve even gone to a live snake show to indulge his desire to know more about the slithery creatures! While I…

What Pet Should I Get is the most recently released book by the famous children’s author, and if you’re familiar with his other works, you’ll notice the characters are very similar to the ones in…
This post contains affiliate links How much do you love classic children’s books? Better question- how much do your kids love them? I honestly felt like my boys would think they were out of date and lose interest because of the muted color palettes, simple story lines, and out-of date vocabulary. When judging a book…
My two year old (Hunter Bear, as we affectionately call him), Loves the book Go, Dog Go! We read it every single morning, and usually at least once again throughout the day. While re-reading is an important part of enjoying literature and learning to sight read, I do like to mix things up a bit.…
