Have some old magazine’s lying around your house? Why not turn them into a fun learning activity for your kiddos to play with? When a friend mentioned she was getting rid of a bunch of old magazines, I was quick to snatch them up. Prep Work Setup is simple. Go through the magazines and […]
Airbrush Markers
This post contains affiliate links that help support my family. Read more about that here. My three year old is not a big fan of coloring. His sensory issues have made coloring and writing a high frustration activity. But when our Occupational therapist suggested using Airbrush Markers as a means of oral sensory input, we […]
Pretend Play PLUS Number Recognition
Our home is getting exponentially more imaginative with each passing day. Loopy is just loving all forms of pretend play! It’s great because it costs nothing yet affords us hours of fun that we all get to join in on. Check out our latest scenario that doubles as a math game!I don’t know about […]
Edible Neuron Models
Today we get the privilege of Vanessa guest posting again! This scientific post is quite literally a treat! I love science, and I love activities that are also edible so this was perfect! In the science class I’m teaching we’re learning about the Nervous System. The science book I teach out of suggested making a […]
Learning the Shapes of Letters with Manipulatives
My three year old has an aversion to putting pen to paper. Even making an “X” takes an exceptional amount of concentration. He has Sensory Processing Disorder which, believe it or not, effects his ability to write and draw. I can’t believe we’re already at the point of tears and we’ve barely even started this […]
Preschool Bear Craft
Per Loopy’s request, we’ve been learning about bears around here. I wanted to do a simple preschool bear craft and loved what I found on the “Crafty Morning”. Michelle has a bunch of great fork craft ideas. You’ll have to take a look! Our project went a bit of a different route since my three year […]
Handwriting with Shaving Cream and a Mirror
Lately I’ve been realizing how extremely resistant my son is to anything even remotely related to handwriting. He has been getting therapy for Sensory Processing Disorder and the Occupational Therapist has been working with him to draw a circle (not his typical spiral) and make a “criss cross”. Call me oblivious, but I was shocked that […]
Letter Tracing
I’ve been in the camp that thinks formal schooling has been pushed too early onto little kids. So I’ve got to admit that I haven’t given Loopy many opportunities to do letter tracing. This post may contain links that help support my family. Read more here. After starting Occupational Therapy, I’ve been made aware of […]
Farm Unit: Sheep Craft
The month of May was especially fun at our house because we were learning about Farm Life! Loopy learned so much about different animals, crops, farm equipment, and the process of getting food to the table. One of our favorite crafts was this adorable little lamb. We got the idea from the great blog Two-Daloo. Here’s […]
“Serious” Fun Saturdays: “Painting” with Water and a Chalkboard
I really like no prep activities. Mostly because I tend to fly by the seat of my pants. When I plan, I usually dream too big and get frustrated when they don’t work or we never get around to actually doing them. (“Hello, craft project that I started six months ago!”) So here’s a good […]
