Shake and Search I Spy Bottle

Jen — Wed, 25 Jan 2017 06:15:41 +0000

Let’s be honest here… Who really has the patience to sit for ages making perler bead creations?? I wish I did. Miss G and I made a few little things the other day and had fun, but truth be told, what we really wanted to do was run our fingers through them – hah! That,… Read More

Simple Egg Carton Letter Sound Sort

Jen — Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:50:58 +0000

Since a home recycling service doesn’t exist here in Kuwait, I save all sorts of food packing items, hoping to find them some sort of second purpose before they end up in the bin. My hoarding usually serves me well and I’m almost always able to help out when fellow community members put out calls… Read More

Christmas Tree Photo Scavenger Hunt

Jen — Sun, 14 Dec 2014 19:52:18 +0000

A couple of days ago Gracen sort of randomly brought up the backyard photo scavenger hunt we’d done just before leaving Canada this past summer, and talked about how much fun she’d had doing it. Being an overseas living kiddo, she knows that many things simply have to wait until our next summer at home,… Read More

Jen — Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:45:07 +0000

Miss G and I had all sorts of fun this morning! After an early morning coffee shop date and creating our family portrait embroidery hoop, we put together a little beginning sounds sorting game that was both fun and simple. To get started, we rounded up a plastic Ikea tray {Canada | US | Kuwait… Read More

Number Bubbles: A Number Recognition and Counting Game on Mirrors

Jen — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 22:05:56 +0000

After seeing Jackie’s post about pairing mirrors with glass gems and dry erase markers on Happy Hooligans recently, I knew we had to try it. Mirror play is something I’ve wanted to explore with Miss G for a long while now, and seeing that post gave me the push I needed to go out and… Read More

Tong Transfer Game

Jen — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 07:59:40 +0000

Since returning home from vacation last week, we’ve been in a bit of a ‘getting back on track’ mode… While we’re pretty good at maintaining Gracen’s overall schedule while away, some things are harder to control. While on vacation, the time Grae’s left to find and engage in activities on her own is minimal –… Read More

Sticker Matching Game

Jen — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:55:09 +0000

This morning I woke up to this post from Kiwi Crate in my inbox, which turned out to be a perfect afternoon activity for Miss G. The moment I nonchalantly mentioned a ‘sticker matching game’, she was ready to go. Luckily, this little activity takes very little prep work. Miss G helped me gather some… Read More

Simple Play: Pillow Pass

Jen — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 07:40:42 +0000

This is the SIMPLEST little game ever, but Miss G loves it. And we’re talking loves it so much that she squeals and shrieks the entire time we play and shouts “More pillow pass, Mama!” whenever she thinks the game is going to end. Basically, all we do is toss a pillow back and forth.… Read More

Keeping Busy

Jen — Wed, 02 May 2012 06:28:34 +0000

As I was preparing dinner late this afternoon, Grae came into the kitchen and sweetly asked for hangers. I immediately knew what she wanted to do – she wanted to hang them on her crib railing as I do when setting out her outfit choices in the morning. I retrieved a great big handful of… Read More
