Do you see how well loved this book is?!? We have a few books that are in need of replacements because they are so well loved. Caps for Sale and 10 Black Dots are two of those books that need replacing. Before we decide to upcycle this book, I wanted to give it one more…
Beep. Boop. Beep. I am a robot… My nearly four year old likes to pretend play he’s a robot. The problem is he has the game all wrong, robots are supposed to take orders from their master (ahem- me). I should be able to push button and have my little robot clean up all his…
Whew, we took quite a break since first starting this series! Adding two new family members will do that to a blogger, though. Now we’re getting back on track and I’m sharing the fourth post in our “Exploring Numbers through the Senses” series. We’ve already completed sight, sound, and taste, today is all about touch.…
Welcome back to our “Exploring Numbers through the the Senses Series”! This is the third post in and we are exploring numbers through taste… kind of…. Forgive me that I don’t quite know how to TASTE numbers. What I decided to do was help build a conceptual understanding of quantity (totally numbers related!), and I’m…

We have been on a bit of a shapes and puzzles kick, lately (see our other DIY shapes puzzles here). I made this giant shapes puzzle for my two year old, but even my three year old has been enjoying it! You’ll have to forgive me, though. Since I made this project on a whim,…
OK, this activity was fun to put together! My kids like to take walks and point things out in our neighborhood- cars, RV’s, street signs, etc. So when I saw that the Early Childhood Education Team wanted to write posts around the theme “My Neighborhood,” this project was the perfect fit for us! This post…
So yesterday was trash day and there were a few boxes that were left out of the recycling bin. I thought it was the perfect chance to use them in environmental print puzzles I’ve done before. The problem with them is the cardboard on food boxes is pretty flimsy, so trying to push them…
There are so many shape puzzles on the market. We have a few ourselves. But I wanted to add another one to our repertoire- one that offered a different opportunity for creativity and investigation after we were through with the shape recognition.
