Let's have fun playing and learning with wiggly worms!
This year I am so excited to be starting tot school for the second time with my sweet little Aubrey! She is 2 1/2 now and loved our Baby Bins last year, but is SO ready for more than one bin/activity a day. I won’t be blogging about our themes each week, as we will […]
A dinosaur theme is a sure fire way to capture little one’s interest and curiosity. Just talking about dinosaurs with toddlers is so much fun! Our week was filled with names to learn, questions to answer and hands on activities to try. Here were our plans for Dinosaur Week: And here are the details of […]
This week we focused on community helpers in Tot School. We could literally do this theme for a month because there are so many different jobs and places that we could use for inspiration. But this was our first time really talking about the community and jobs, so I kept our learning to a […]
Do your kids LOVE Brown Bear, Brown Bear as much as mine? This story is such a classic I just had to plan a week theme around Bears and our favorite Brown Bear books. Here were our plans for Bear week: And here are the details of each activity: Our favorite bear […]
The goal of an “All About Me” theme is usually to help classmates get to know each other better, but when your only student is your own child, that puts a bit of a different spin on things. For our All About Me theme we focused on emotions, family, and learning more about ourselves. Here […]
Isn’t it funny how little ones are just curious about everything and totally don’t have that grossed out reaction that we have as adults? I have to admit bugs creep me out, so I was totally not excited for this week’s theme. I tried my best to contain my feelings about insects so Madelynn could […]

A few weeks ago our little daredevil had her first x-ray due to a little jumping on the bed incident. Yup 1 little monkey jumping on the bed, she fell off and bumped her head… broke her clavicle. Well ever since, she has been fascinated with the bones inside her body so there couldn’t be […]

I think it’s safe to say that ALL toddlers love a trip to the zoo. We are lucky to have a pretty fantastic zoo close to where we live so we take full advantage of that and visit every few weeks or so. Madelynn always loves seeing what the animals are up to, so I knew this […]

Who doesn’t love Chicka Chicka Boom Boom? I’m not sure if it is the bright colors, the rhyming text or the simple and adorable story line, but this book is just a must read in our house on nearly a daily basis. We stuck to just reading this one book all week long and had lots […]
Teaching about weather is always one of my favorite science topics because there are so many great experiments to try.

Teaching about anything creepy and crawly really isn’t my forte. Truth be told I kind of freak when I see any critters running around (let’s not even get into my fear of mice!). But I do my best to suck it up and teach about things like bats and spiders every year and we had […]

Sometimes little ones can be picky about eating healthy foods. I found a fun activity that can help teach them about the healthy food that their bodies need while playing and sorting the different food groups.This activity will give your children a better sense of what types of foods go into what food group categories. This hands on activity should also help them see healthier options for snacks and meals. This is also a good visual to show them how many they need of each food group on a daily basis.
These 5 sheets includes sets where the student will compare the sizes (tallest/shortest, small/biggest) of an object. These sheets are great for preschool, prek, kindergarten, and home school students.
