I Love Grandma Because… {A Mother’s Day Gift}

Jen — Sun, 12 May 2013 04:25:37 +0000

While we should have probably had these done last weekend and in the mail days ago, Miss G and I just put together these little gifts for the grandmas today. (Sorry Grandmas! Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming very soon.) ‘I love you because…’ flowers are an old favourite of mine. I think I… Read More

Contact Paper, Tissue, Sequins, Confetti, & Glitter: A Creative Table

Jen — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:07:43 +0000

This creative table set up had a good long run in our house… It’s been worked on day in and out for over a week now, and I’m sure Gracen would still be adding to it if there was any sticky space left on the contact paper. When it began, it looked like this…… Read More

Sparkly Heart-Shaped Wands

Jen — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 05:58:06 +0000

In addition to our annual Valentine’s Day tea, Gracen and I have a couple of other Valentine’s parties and classes to attend this year. And since we don’t do the whole candy thing just yet, it means getting a little bit more creative with the ‘treats’ she hands out. When I asked her what she’d… Read More

Valentine’s Creative Table

Jen — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:03:43 +0000

One of the things I’ve been doing to encourage independent play {and creativity} in recent months is keeping a fun, inviting, and well-stocked ‘creative table’ for Gracen. All it is is her little table (or sometimes a tray or even the floor) with an assortment of materials available for her free use. Sometimes it’s paper… Read More

Christmas Tree Decorating Creative Table

Jen — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:43:52 +0000

As much as I’d love to have an entire room dedicated to play and discovery, our little two bedroom house simply doesn’t have the space. So instead of an actual playroom, we’ve taken various playroom elements and created play spaces around the house so that Gracen always has plenty of opportunities to create, explore, and… Read More

Baking Soda Clay Ornaments

Jen — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:53:11 +0000

My personal rule? All things Christmas wait until December 1st. Well, besides crafting or purchasing the odd little gift here and thereI guess… This year though, I’ve broken my own rule. I’m not sure how it happened, but we were looking for a fun afternoon activity and somehow I ended up whipping up a batch… Read More

What do you do when it’s {long past the} time to pack away the Halloween things for the year, but your toddler has developed a particular affection for the battery operated votives that previous lit her jack-o-lantern? Create a new use for them of course! Er, at least that’s what we did… Here’s what we… Read More

Handprint Spiders & Golf Ball Painted Webs

Jen — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:00:00 +0000

Today Gracen and I did one of our favourite things… We had a little mama and babe crafternoon. A Halloween crafternoon to be exact! This is by no means a new idea, and it’s nothing fancy, but it is something I’ve always enjoyed doing with my kindergarten students. It’s fun, messy, and personalized with wee… Read More
