Simple {balloon-shaped} Homemade Matching Games

Jen — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:44:14 +0000

I’m absolutely thrilled to be sharing one of Miss G’s all-time favourite games over at I Can Teach My Child today {one of the very first blogs I ever followed!} We’ve made and played these super simple homemade matching games since Gracen was around 2, and they never get old. Over time, we’ve varied them… Read More

Indoor Balloon Badminton

Jen — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 08:07:53 +0000

This may very well be the easiest activity to throw together ever, but Gracen thoroughly enjoyed it. All you need is a couple of paper plates (ours are made of styrofoam, which I absolutely despise, but they, along with many other party supplies, were in the cupboard when we moved into this house, so I… 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

Water Pouring Station

Jen — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:19:46 +0000

After our most recent tea party with a pot filled with “tea”, I realized that I haven’t really given Gracen many opportunities to practice her pouring skills (with the exception of cooking and sensory bin/bath tub play, I guess). So tonight, just before I began making dinner, I set up a little water pouring station… Read More

Egg Carton Button Sorting

Jen — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 04:45:55 +0000

Matching is HUGE in our house right now. Coordinating is simply not good enough for Miss G anymore. Everything. must. match. To the point where she will pick a treat (organic fruit leather) with a blue package while grocery shopping because she is wearing blue pants, cutting her carrots requires an orange knife, and wearing white… Read More

DIY Velcro Building Sticks

Jen — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 06:58:09 +0000

The three of us were sitting down together today and I yanked out these two supplies for a little activity I’ve had in mind for a long while now. I originally saw these velcro building sticks at Tot Treasures and loved the simplicity of them. With our sticky velcro dots attached to each side and… Read More

Homemade Household Objects Puzzle

Jen — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 06:49:00 +0000

After nap time today, Grae actually came up to me and said, “Do fun ac-ti-vi-tee?” Funny little duck. Yes, baby girl, we can always do a fun ac-ti-vi-tee. In fact, that’s why I’m constantly adding to my Toddler Activities Pinterest board. For moments just like these. I love the idea behind this simple sun bleached… Read More
