Sharing is caring!

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.

The book for this week is: The Day it Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond.

I’m not really sure if this caught her attention quite well but she seemed interested enough. We try to read several times a day. And we always start and end our days with reading a book or three. It all depends on how interested she is.

We also used this time to talk about kindness and love. And we printed out Valentine’s Day cards.

All in all, we had fun with the theme and added a few more books to our pile:

Squeaker has really been into coloring and tracing lately, so I made some quick sheets for her to try out.

We’ll do something differently later in the week and also make more sheets, so be on the lookout for that. We’ll have a matching game and some other things to try.

This particular set includes:

  • Love & Heart tracing words
  • Letters to trace (or fill) – L, O, V, E
  • Prewriting tracing
  • Two simple mazes

As we have our informal tot school, and by informal I mean we do a fair amount of free play, learning through play, pretend play, reading books, arts and crafts; sometimes I’ll try to sneak in a learning activity. But those learning activities are also play based, or at least have some element of play in them. I want to keep it simple enough for Squeaker and yet still with an element of challenge so she’s working on her skills. Things like fine motor, gross motor, letter identification, and that sort of thing. For Squeaker, this also means playing games and having learning activities that can be quick in nature or that she can come back to when her attention span allows for it. We’ll…

Four Seasons Printable Pack

Are you looking to help your child learn about the four seasons? Or maybe you’d like to talk about Vivaldi’s Four Seasons! Either way, or for whatever other use that you may have, for this week’s Freebie Friday, I’m sharing a four seasons printable pack. This is also my very first pack with both English and Spanish. I hope to have more packs like this in the future as learning Spanish is on my list of goals for our homeschooling. And, I honestly believe that you can’t start too early when it comes to learning a foreign language. It will definitely be an adventure though because I don’t know Spanish so I’ll be learning it right along with Squeaker. I am incredibly proud of this…

Let's face it, even as a stay at home mom, sometimes we need a break from playing. Here are fun things to do with your toddler that they can also do alone or with minimal adult participation.

Fun Things To Do With Your Toddler That Won’t Drive You Crazy

While it may be so easy and simple to just hand your toddler an iPad or Kindle, keeping them busy and occupied doesn’t always have to involve a screen. There’s nothing wrong with some screen time, just be sure that it’s in moderation. But how then, do you keep them occupied? Well, aside from some good old fashioned play time indoors, there are plenty of ways to keep your toddler busy. Some things are hands on, and why not? I have just as much fun coloring or playing with playdough as my toddler does. Other things you may need to do with your toddler and that’s okay too. They’re only young once and sometimes we might take for granted the opportunities that we have to…

The Beatitudes for Kids Printable Pack

I had notions of grandeur at the beginning of the year to create at least one printable pack per week. I have failed greatly with this goal but I’m going to try and get back on track. We’ll see how it goes! It’s been awhile since I’ve created a Bible based printable pack and this one is definitely close to my heart. The Sermon on the Mount is one of my favorite parts of the Bible and the Beatitudes are one of my favorite parts from the Sermon on the Mount. To get back on track with creating Christian printable packs for kids, I’m going to start with the Sermon on the Mount and I’m so happy to bring you my Beatitudes for Kids mini…

Mess Free Thanksgiving Art for Babies

With Thanksgiving next week, I had hoped to post up a few of these but well, I’ll be honest- the gift guide is consuming a lot of my blogging time. Still, I didn’t want that to get in the way of posting some Thanksgiving art for babies posts. We’ll have a messier version up next week, I hope, but for now; here’s the next part of mess-free art for babies. If you’ve seen past mess-free art posts, you’ll notice that we’ve usually done tracing of the hands and/or painting in a plastic baggie. I post these projects not because I’m trying to discourage messy play (I think that’s important too) but because I’m trying to be mindful that sometimes Squeaker just doesn’t want to put…

Mommy Camp for Toddlers: Numbers

ByKori
0 Comments

Welcome back to another week of Mommy Camp for Toddlers! This week, we’re going to focus on numbers. Learning about numbers, much like the alphabet, takes place in the every day situations. For example, something as simple as counting cheerios or just reciting numbers 1-10 or 1-20 or 1-5 … can have a lasting impact and form a solid foundation. But, the point with mommy camp is to keep it informal and let learning happen as it will. Don’t try to force any of this and when your toddler is showing signs of boredom, take a break or stop all together. Is there a right or wrong time to introduce numbers? I say no because it’s like any learning opportunity. It doesn’t have to happen…
