I’ve been doing some serious slacking in the science department of our preschool journey. I’m not sure why I put it off for so long. Most kids can’t get enough of the hands on learning and my son was no different. Our first science experiment was the classic sink or float test. Gather up […]
Just Go to Bed! Deciphering Legitimate Needs from Stall Tactics
Let’s face it. Kids are ridiculously creative. I have found that their ingenuity tends to shine brightest at bedtime. The requests just. keep. coming. But how are we as parents supposed to know when our children have a genuine need and when they’re just desperately trying to delay the inevitable? When and where should we […]

Polka Dot Slime
Happy Saturday Everyone! This morning I wanted to share my favorite kids activity to date. Seriously, we made this polka dot slime twice in two weeks! I was sorely tempted to not give this away to two sweet little girls for their birthday and instead keep it for myself. This amazing recipe is from Asia […]
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 […]

Folks, it is blazing hot in Texas. I can’t stand it. Make fun of me all you want. Labeled me a pansy, you won’t hurt my feelings.But I’d like to see a native Texan build a quinsy (an igloo made out of snow for you southerners) and sleep in it. Yeah, Chicago pride! But I […]

Goodness knows we have enough of those lying around! Then I grabbed a couple “washing utensils.” Then I […]

Water Bead Exploration
I’ve been seeing these awesome colored beads all over pinterest. I thought they would be a lot of fun to play with either as a sensory experience or coupled with a light table. I found these in the floral section at Walmart for $2 a pack. I barely used a third of them, and look […]
