Here are the playdough mats for the letters S & T! I chose to use the sea turtle and tree frog from crafts past. =) You can see our other printable playdough mats here. We stick ours in sheet protectors (you can laminate, though!) and “color” them with playdough. Crayons and markers would work just…
We took some time this evening before bedtime to learn about the life cycle of chickens! I designed the printables last week and we were thankfully able to get to them today. The first week of school has been hectic, to say the least. We’re finding our groove though, and Lore was super happy to…
As a part of our Endangered Animals unit, we did this cute Umbrella Bird craft. Though the Umbrella Bird is not endangered, their numbers are unfortunately currently classified as ‘vulnerable’. Lorelai, my 5.5 year-old, is obsessed with animals of all kinds, so she was happy to get to paint this “cool” bird. She chose to…

While researching animals of Mexico, the coyote is one that came up that we hadn’t crafted yet. Since we are currently learning about Mexico in our Around the World series, I thought it would be the perfect time to learn about and craft a coyote.

Good morning! Here’s a random Saturday craft for you: the Common King Snake. In case you’re wondering the why of it, it’s because Lorelai saw one in her animal encyclopedia and requested it. We have done a few snake crafts in the past – printable snake & stocking snake. It was time we did an…
I have taken the challenge of 100 days of play with my daughter! The challenge is to play and connect with your children everyday while doing something they love. My daughter is 5.5, and her favorite way to play right now is through games. Board games, card games, pretend games… you name it, she loves…
Spring is officially here, and here in Houston, the weather today was BEAUTIFUL! 65 degrees and sunny – I couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. This afternoon, Lorelai and I headed to a local nature sanctuary and walked the trails while looking for items on our scavenger hunt list. This particular park is an…

I ran across this fun project on Pinterest (from this site) and thought it would be great to do with Lorelai. It’s simple, uncomplicated, and only takes a few minutes. Lorelai (5) did this one all by herself. She alternated dipping her thumbs in the paint and then pressing them down on the paper. So…

This is another of Lore’s list animals… or in this case, insect. I wasn’t able to squeeze his long body, wing, head, and 6 legs into one sheet so this is a two-page printable. It can all be printed from the same PDF file though! Open Grasshopper Printable Printable Instructions | Terms of Use |…
I have to comment on the hair first. Lorelai got some colorful hair ties in her Easter basket and last night before bed she asked me to make her hair into ‘rainbow hair’. This is what I came up with. Upon first seeing it, she exclaimed, “I look like a NEW princess!” =) Anyway, onto…
Rainforest week was a fun one! I wish we’d had more time to finish all of the crafts and activities I’d had planned. I’m definitely putting this one down as a repeat in the future! It’s so vast that it could probably encompass a few weeks’ worth of activities. What We Did This Week: Printable…

I can’t believe it’s Friday already! This week has seriously flown by. We have been busy doing playdates, having fun at indoor playgrounds, and getting settled in our new apartment. We still have some kitchen stuff that needs to be resolved, and there are 4 packed boxes of small kitchen appliances and whatnot sitting in…
Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day! We didn’t do much for the day, but true to my irish roots, we had corned beef and cabbage (and potatoes)! It was seriously yummy. I think I ate about a pound of cabbage myself. LOL!
