My kids have loved to play with playdough for as long as I can remember. Of course, some of that is because I like to play with playdough and I basically insisted they did too. I make no apologies. Working with playdough is such a soothing activity for kids (and adults) and it’s good grossKeep Reading…

Easy Vanilla Iced Banana Bread Muffins
I don’t think I ever had a single piece of banana bread when I was growing up. And I wasn’t the biggest fans of bananas either. So I didn’t grasp the full amazingness of banana bread until I was an adult. And, let me tell you, it is amazing. My kids love banana bread too.Keep Reading…
School Supply Patterns! Back to School Pattern Activity
I’m an absolute sucker for school supplies. At any time of year.

Apple Life Cycle Sequencing Activity
Nothing says “fall is coming” like apples. I’ve always loved using an apple theme when teaching and apples still make a fun theme for learning in early grades.

A new school year usually brings a new set of worries for parents…and for kids. I’ve noticed that, as my kids grow older, they start to struggle with feelings of self-consciousness and uncertainty. And the first place I start to notice it is in their writing. Even my bookworms who used to be able toKeep Reading…
Apple Count! Apple Preschool Counting Puzzles
Preschoolers absolutely love playing with puzzles. My four-year-old asks to do a puzzle almost every single day. The same one. Over and over again. But that’s a good thing! It means that kids are remembering how the pieces fit together to make a complete picture and solving them more quickly each time. Since we’ve beenKeep Reading…
All About Me! Simple Writing Prompt for Kids
Writing is one of the most wonderful things in the world to me. I love the feeling of writing down my thoughts and gaining a sense of clarity as my pen moves across the paper.
