Spring Texture Hunt

Jen — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 23:50:06 +0000

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

Well hello, spring! You have no idea how much we’ve been looking forward to you! To celebrate, Miss G and put together this fun little spring muffin tin scavenger hunt and headed outside in search of the first signs of the season. While we’ve done this same activity before {years ago when Miss G was… Read More

Plastic Cup Greenhouses

Jen — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 07:20:08 +0000

One of the things I absolutely love doing with kids come springtime is growing plants from seed. That being said, I’m most likely the worst gardener on the planet. Like really, really bad. Cactuses, succulents, and other kill-proof plants? Give them to me for a week or two and I can almost guarantee that they’ll… Read More

Simple Spring Nature Exploration Station

Jen — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 07:34:19 +0000

Okay, so this is quite possibly the simplest activity ever, but it was thoroughly enjoyed and I was blown away with what Miss G did with it. Earlier today, as Grae was cleaning up from quiet play time, I quickly popped outside to the yard to see what sort of spring nature items I could… Read More

Cupcake Liner Flower Wreath

Jen — Fri, 15 May 2015 21:01:58 +0000

Our apartment door has a little hook attached to the middle of it, so naturally, it needs a wreath. In the fall we usually have our poppy wreath out there, then in winter we switch it up for the Christmas wreath Miss G made long ago, and then in spring, we usually have a little… Read More

Spring on the horizon means that it was finally time for us to say au revoir to the Christmas and winter play dough kits we’ve had around for months… New season, new play dough sets – that’s what they say, right?? ☺ While we’ve made a version of this spring garden play dough set… Read More

Coffee Filter Flowers

Jen — Thu, 09 May 2013 05:08:51 +0000

Gracen and I have been spending a whole lot of time at the beach lately (yay!), but this afternoon, we finally got around to finishing off a fun little project we started days and days ago. It began like this. Coffee filters, coloured water, and a plastic dropper out, creative table-style. Simply left out for… Read More

Radish Top Egg Heads

Jen — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:01:32 +0000

While we made grassheads using my tried and true nylon method last year, this time around we decided to switch things up a little with an egg shell version. Not only is this method very simple {and therefore more toddler friendly}, but afterwards you can remove the googly eyes, give the shell a good crunch,… Read More

In honour of Earth Day, Miss G and I took to the streets of our neighbourhood for a little spring-themed natured hunt today. It was the perfect way to spend our afternoon…soaking in some sunshine, taking in the fresh air, and observing the nature around us a little more closely than we usually do. Beforehand,… Read More

Today after her nap, Miss G and I enjoyed a little crafternoon. We set up shop in the warm sunshine pouring through our front window and she worked on decorating felt eggs while I worked creating this new spring felt board set. This time around, I created paper patterns by drawing very simple flower shapes… Read More
