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 […]

Cooking Unit for Preschoolers
The month of March was a fun one at our house, especially in the kitchen! Our theme was cooking and baking.
