Easy St. Patrick’s Day Art for Toddlers Today I’m sharing two super easy St. Patrick’s Day art for toddlers ideas. You’ll be able to find the sheets that I used in my Simple St. Patrick’s Day Coloring, Matching and Puzzles Pack or in my St. Patrick’s Day Printable Pack . I’m hesitant to call this Tot School just yet as we aren’t integrating anything else into it (shapes, colors, letters)… plus Squeaker will only be 15 months on March 5th (2015), so I wouldn’t expect for her to be ready for some of the other stuff I have planned for Tot School. For both projects, I printed them out on card stock so they would hold up a little better to the finger paint and…

We are so excited to be participating in the Virtual Book Club for Kids again! Hopefully now on a more permanent basis. I had all good intent of joining in again sooner but life and all of that. So, here we go! For this week’s theme, I made a Valentine’s Day themed prewriting practice sheet. And while my toddler uses it for preschool readiness skills, you could also use these for kids with special needs. This post contains affiliate links and while you are under no obligation to use them, by purchasing something through my affiliate link you are supporting this site, thanks! The book for this week is: The Day it Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond. I’m not really sure if this caught her…

Prewriting Practice Sheets for Toddlers for MLK Jr. Day

I’m hoping that next year I’ll be more organized for MLK Jr. Day. I think it’s an important holiday to honor in terms of history so maybe that’s why I haven’t put too much emphasis on it. However, I also think it’s important for teaching diversity. So maybe we’ll do a little bit more next year. This year though, I made some quick prewriting practice sheets for Squeaker. It’s something that she’s been showing interest in as of late. And while I don’t want worksheets to be the basis of our tot school, it does help.   Some days she really wants to do these and other days she’s more interested in playing. I’m perfectly fine with that and would prefer to keep this as…

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. I want to also let you know that going forward, all of my printables will be available through my new…

This post and giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Dreft. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine. A happy toddler = a happy mom And yes, that is 1000% true for us. When Squeaker is having a good day, I have a good day. And when Squeaker has a great day, I tend to have a great day. Sure, we still have our ups and downs and our power struggles. But when she is happy, I’m also happy. Sometimes her happiness stems from my overall mood. Mostly though it’s from what she’s doing during the day. And a good day for her is a balanced day. Sometimes we do pages from a tot pack and sometimes…

This week’s book in the Virtual Book Club for Kids is the Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle Eric Carle is a favorite author in this house so we were pretty excited to do something with this book. In fact, later on in our home preschool plans (at this point next year I’m thinking), we’ll do an Eric Carle unit. But, if you just want to base your own unit and study around spiders, instead of Eric Carle, then I have a few suggestions for you:                 & We’ll also be sure to take a walk at some point so we can go look for spider webs and spiders outside. I had wanted to set up a sensory bin, since this seems to be the…
