Christmas Themed Prewriting and Letter Hunt for Toddlers

We are getting really excited about Christmas! Squeaker turned 3 on December 5th but we’ve been in Christmas mode for awhile now. This is the first year that she’s really starting to understand what’s going on. We are using this time to learn more about Jesus Christ as well as Santa Claus. Sometimes I do have to wonder how much of this really sticks with her but she surprises me daily! We’re also using this time of the year to work on preschool readiness skills. We work on this all year round of course, but I love making holiday themed worksheets for her as well. Let’s get to that printable set! Christmas Prewriting and Letter Recognition Sheets for Toddlers We still haven’t settled into a…

If I told you that, according to the Briggs Meyer personality type that I’m an INFJ, what would you say? I’ve taken other tests that are similar to the Briggs Meyer but no matter what?

Honestly, I think coloring books would make for an ideal gift as well. But, as an introvert and in general, one of my favorite past times is reading. I…

Earlier this year, my toddler got into watching Paw Patrol. Now I’m not sure how or why, but absolutely loves this show. If you aren’t familiar with it, Paw Patrol is a group of 6 (expanded to 8 on occasion) dogs lead by Ryder- a tech savvy 10 year old. The heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect the community – Adventure Bay. It’s also one of the few kids shows that I don’t mind watching with her. Squeaker’s favorites are Marshall, Everest, and Skye. We were going to do a Marshall costume for Halloween but it didn’t quite pan out. She also helped me put together this ultimate Paw Patrol gift idea guide…

It’s time do some baking around here. With Squeaker’s birthday being in early December, we try to plan a small party with family and close friends.

Around this time of the year, I like to buy the Winter themed cupcake liners and Christmas themed cupcake liners. And while they do get used, I was also thinking of other ways to use them. I remember using white paper doilies in school to…

That’s why I wanted to share these coloring book gift ideas for adults. Let’s start with the coloring books. Some are still somewhat kid friendly. While others are definitely…
