Fall Leaf Colour Sort

Jen — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 06:54:29 +0000

Honestly? I wasn’t ready to dive into all things fall just yet, but when we returned home from our Seattle and Vancouver trip to freezing cold weather (we’re talking zero overnight and 4 degrees by the time we were heading off to school), I decided we’d better get on it in case we skip fall… Read More

Morning Routine Flip Chart

Jen — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 16:37:21 +0000

My summer wish? Slower mornings that are still productive enough to get out of the house and have some fun before nap time rolls around at noon. Plus, with Brad home for the summer, a couple of hours to work each morning too… Hah! Too much to ask maybe, but we’re giving it a go… Read More

Whew… After a long, snowy winter here in the Okanagan, I *think* spring might actually be here and I can’t tell you how good it feels! We arrived home on Good Friday after a week in Vancouver to find nearly all of our snow gone and despite the fact that it briefly snowed on both… Read More

Car and Truck Colour Sorting

Oh my goodness… This boy and his cars and trucks. He’s nothing short of obsessed. The other thing he’s been really into for months? Colours. Smack the two together and you’ve got a car and truck colour sorting activity that’s incredibly easy to pull off, but super engaging for little car and truck lovers like… Read More

Where I Live Stacking Cups

Jen — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 05:58:02 +0000

Lately Miss G has been asking about ‘home’. Like where it is and which home is actually our home and if this is going to be our home for a long time. I don’t blame the poor kid for being a little unsure… While she was born in Vernon {where we live now}, we brought… Read More

You know what I love? I love fun little activities and explorations that both Miss G and Sam can enjoy despite their 5.5 year age difference.

Tin Foil Boat Float

Jen — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 05:27:59 +0000

While I don’t usually bring activities along on vacation with us, I knew a classic tin foil boat float would be an awesome way for Miss G and I to spend one of Sam’s nap times {not to mention that it’s a pretty perfect fit given the fact that we’re staying directly across from the… Read More

Jen — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Ahhh… 100 Day. Such a big deal when you’re 6 and have been looking forward to it all year long. I used to love celebrating 100 Day as a teacher, so I can only imagine how excited Miss G is to be celebrating her 100th day of Grade One today. I’m not sure how they’ll… Read More

Season Sensory Bottles

Jen — Mon, 09 Jan 2017 07:52:15 +0000

With Grae and Sam being 5 years apart in age, you’d think that they’d be into completely different things, but I’m actually realizing that there are many projects and activities that we can do and tweak just slightly so that both munchkins enjoy them. These season sensory bottles are so much fun and definitely one… Read More

Practicing Sight Words With a Salt Tray

Jen — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 09:29:51 +0000

Now that Miss G is in First Grade {first grade!!} she’s given a new list of sight words to take home each week. At the moment, the expectation is that she’s able to read them aloud, but since she’s already quite advanced with her reading, we’ve been practicing spelling them too. She loves sitting down… Read More
