Cut & Paste City Car Mat

Jen — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:38:49 +0000

Deep in a bin of secondhand Duplo I picked up yesterday, Miss G discovered a tiny little Lightening McQueen car and immediately fell in love. Though she’s not really watched any movies yet, she and Brad have watched bits and pieces of Cars on their special days together and she adores the characters. Upon discovering… Read More

Table Top Washi Tape Roadway

Jen — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:22:28 +0000

Have I mentioned how much I love when fun, unplanned activities just come about naturally during the day? I do! In fact, I often find that they’re some of our very favourites. That’s exactly what happened today with our super simple table top roadway. As Miss G and I were sitting outside at her miniature… Read More

Simple Straw Bead Necklaces

Jen — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:19:10 +0000

As the chaos continues, so do the super simple, created-on-a-whim activities for Miss G. Because the days are passing by so quickly and we still have a ridiculous amount of stuff to be done before the big move, I’ve basically been throwing together activities with whatever is nearby at the moment, and hoping that they’ll… Read More

A {Pretend Play} Popcorn Shop

Jen — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 07:04:00 +0000

Our makeshift puppet theatre got LOTs of play and it was {well past} time to switch things up in our little Ikea SKYLTA Market Stand. Because we’re amidst our 5 days dedicated to packing our entire house, it had to be something super quick and easy to set-up, but highly engaging in order to keep… Read More

{Pretend Play} Fruit and Veggie Market

Jen — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:44:17 +0000

Several weeks ago, while slowly making our way through the children’s section of Ikea, I spotted this cardboard play market. Now it’s not like me to purchase play things on a whim (we sort of operate on a minimal toys basis in our house), but with all of the all of the possibilities and a… Read More

iPhoneography // Simple Rice Tray Play

Jen — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 08:50:29 +0000

This morning I had a little bit of housework to do and Miss G suggested that she’d play with some freshly coloured rice I’d made while I got my clean on. It’d been a quite a while since she’d last opted to play with a rice bin or tray, so I was happy to hear… Read More

Kerrisdale Play Palace is Back!

Jen — Wed, 15 May 2013 06:32:22 +0000

One of our very favourite rainy day spots, the Kerrisdale Play Palace, recently opened for another spring/summer season. It seems to be a bit of a hidden gem because although it does get busy, it never seems busy enough for what it is – a very reasonably priced GIANT indoor play space filled with fun… Read More

An Afternoon of Indoor Fishing

Jen — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 06:09:53 +0000

This afternoon while walking along the river, Gracen noticed a man sitting down on the rocks fishing and was fascinated. The questions started rolling in and once we’d lost sight of him, all she wanted to know was when we’d see him again. Luckily, on our way back we found him just where we’d left… Read More

Fruit & Veggie Sorting {Using Flyer Clippings}

Jen — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:52:33 +0000

Every few days, a newspaper bound in a long rubber band makes its way onto our porch. If it’s not already soaked through with early morning rain, I half-heartedly flip through the stories and flyers {that make up the majority of the paper} so I feel a tiny bit less guilty about recycling it almost… Read More

Under the Table Fort

Jen — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:23:56 +0000

Many days, Miss G wakes up from her nap (though it escaped us again today) with a clear plan for our afternoon. Today’s request involved building an indoor tent. No big deal, right? With limited space, a non-existent wood stash to build a frame with, and an un-napped, slightly impatient toddler on my hands, I… Read More
