Edible Neuron Models

July 25, 2014 By Vanessa 5 Comments

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

July 21, 2014 By Julie 2 Comments

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

July 15, 2014 By Julie Leave a Comment

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

July 12, 2014 By Julie 2 Comments

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

July 3, 2014 By Julie 5 Comments

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

June 15, 2014 By Julie Leave a Comment

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

June 13, 2014 By Julie 2 Comments

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 […]

“Serious” Fun Saturdays: Feather Play for Older Babies

June 6, 2014 By Julie 3 Comments

I’ve been feeling bad about how much blog space my three year old Loopy has been getting compared to 13 month old Lumpy. Of course, art reflects life. Poor Lumpy either does what brother is up to, or has to sit out, most of the time. But low and behold, Loopy took an extra long […]

Car Wash Sensory Bin

May 31, 2014 By Julie 13 Comments

We were bored. It was hot. I wanted the boys to do something together and outside. Went to my handing dandy pinterest board. Nothing jumped off the page at me. Decided to grab a bunch of vehicles. Goodness knows we have enough of those lying around! Then I grabbed a couple “washing utensils.” Then I […]
