7 Easy At Home Learning Activities with Blocks
This is definitely not the fall that I imagined in January! COVID-19 has certainly thrown a wrench in many of our plans, one of which was sending our children to Preschool and Pre-K this year.

Gear Color Match Sensory Bin
My middle kiddo is deep in color-learning territory (if that’s even a phrase…) right now. He points out colors all day long and is constantly looking for his favorite color… red!

Cookie Color Match
The past few days I have needed some quick activities to occupy my littles. We’ve been getting lots of rain and that has meant plenty of inside time for us. With COVID-19 still being an immediate risk, I can’t take the kids out of the house to visit the aquarium, have a play date, or […]
Shape Adventure Trail
Coming up with activities for children of different ages can be difficult! My two oldest are 4 1/2 and almost 3 years.

Sensory Bin Animal Match
Does your kiddo like animals? My 4 year old loves animals. And I mean L-O-V-E-S them! He carries them around in a basket, or a backpack or a construction hat (you use what you can, I guess!) and inserts them into all of his play. Blocks turn into a zoo, magnetic tiles become an animal […]
