If there is one activity that always grabs my kiddos’ attention, it is play dough. They love the stuff! Well, this play dough sensory bin just took it up a notch. Play dough at the table with a mat is fun, but play dough on the floor in a bin with all sorts of tools […]

Magnetic Cookie Sheet Activity
It’s 5:00pm and everyone is home from the day’s activities. You are in the kitchen trying to pull together a quick dinner with a toddler pulling at your pants because she is apparently starving and there is nothing to play with! Sound familiar? Unfortunately, this is all too common for many. *This post contains affiliate […]
Animal Box Houses
The weather has recently gotten very cold where we live. Cold to the point where I walk outside and it takes my breath away (not a fan!). So, I’ve had to become creative with some engaging, indoor activities to keep little hands busy. Let me tell you, these Animal Box Houses are a life saver! […]
Christmas Tree Sticker Ornament Activity
December is the time for everything Christmas and Winter themed in my house! There is just something about this month that brings a smile to my face. Although I don’t prefer the weather (except for the first snow fall, I LOVE that!) I can’t help but feel joyful. Two things I love to do when […]
Pattern Block Christmas Tree Activity
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I can hardly believe that it is already December! And with December comes Christmas decorating, cookie baking and a dramatic increase of indoor activities. I like indoor activities just as much as the next Mom! But when you are stuck inside all day because of bad weather, […]

This, easy to set up, Thanksgiving activity is great for fine motor practice and the possibilities are endless! Thanksgiving […]
Thanksgiving Turkey Number Recognition
It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I feel like we just got started with Fall! As we near the holidays, I like to focus some of the activities for my kiddos around each specific holiday. Right now I am really focusing on number recognition with my 4 year old and […]
Building Restaurant Busy Bags
Isn’t it nice to take the whole family out and relax with a good meal? Wait, you must be talking about a family WITHOUT small children…right?! Wrong! I’m talking about you! The family with the toddlers or baby or better yet, both! Is it truly possible to take toddlers and babies to a restaurant and […]
Letter Recognition Activity – Sticky Note Sort
Letter recognition is a huge skill for toddlers to master, and it isn’t always easy. A great way to give your littles the letter practice they need is to break it down into letter pairs. That is, two letters at a time! I like to teach a letter a week at this age. So, when […]
Fishing for Numbers
Teaching a child to identify numbers can be hard! Personally, I think it is much more difficult than identifying letters. That’s why I constantly try to insert FUN into number recognition! This is a game that I originally created for my Kindergarten classroom and now my toddlers get to have fun playing it! Here is […]
