Good morning! I’m so exited about what I’m sharing today: our Zoo Pretend Play Set! We have had so much fun with our other sets in the past that I had to make another. This set is for any little zoo lover that wishes to be a zookeeper (or zoo vet!) one day… or for […]
Printable Pretend Play Set: Dress Shop
Dress Shop Order Form & Dress Shop Design Center A while back, I put up a printable paper dresses so that my little fashion designer could decorate and “design” dresses when we play Dress Shop. It hit me last week that I should make a Dress Shop Pretend Play Set! Pretending to be a dress […]
Printable Clean Up CheckList
Like mother, like daughter, I have a child who doesn’t like cleaning. Scratch that. She loves helping me clean around our home, but she really hates having to clean up her own messes, specifically her bedroom. We were having a real problem of this before Christmas (before we got rid of a bunch of stuff) […]
Learning Activities & Printables
We made another trip to a teacher supply store nearby this morning. I’ve been wanting to get a few new things to help get me motivated again on the homeschool-preschool front. We came home with some nice loot! Sight Words Flash Cards, Rhyming Cards, Translucent “Counters”, a small clock, and dice (for math/addition activities). Lorelai […]
Basic Chore Chart
A couple days ago, I made a printable behavior chart and then shared it here. Using the same template, I converted it into a chore chart! We definitely needed one for Lorelai. She’s been pretty good about picking up after herself, but I think having a dedicated sticker chart for her chores will help even more. […]
Behavior Chart Printable
I made this behavior chart as a last ditch effort to get Lorelai to behave – mostly around bedtime. She has been so challenging when it comes to going to sleep. Last night we spent 2 hours “fighting” with her to get her down. It has to stop… we are drained mentally/emotionally. Hopefully this helps! […]
Printable Weekly Meal Planner
Eating out is a problem for us. We do it WAY too often and it’s not only a hit on our wallets, but our waistlines as well. I designed this weekly meal planner sheet to hang on the fridge. Hopefully it will keep us on track! I plan on laminating it and using dry-erase markers […]
Printable Penguin Craft
Open Penguin Printable And last, but certainly not least, is the penguin. I love how he turned out! We’ll probably do this one again but with different colors. The whole crafting process didn’t take too long. Lorelai painted all three sheets. I cut one out while she painted the last, then we assembled… cutting was […]
Piglet Printable Craft
Open Piglet Printable After the octopus, we moved on to this piglet craft. She was super excited about this one because she got to paint with her favorite color: pink! Print above, directions below. Materials We Used: 2 Pieces of Cardstock (1 to print, 1 to use as background) Paint – Pink, unless you want […]
Another Owl Craft
I designed another owl craft the other night while watching the breaking news about Osama. Lorelai had mentioned wanting to do another owl craft, and since doing the exact same craft twice can be boring, I made a new owl that’s a bit different. I meant to do it yesterday, but we were too incredibly […]
Bee & Flower Craft
I decided this morning to make another printable for today’s craft, and came up with a bumble bee and flower. I wanted to do a collage like thing like we did with the caterpillar, but Lorelai wanted to paint only. Maybe next time we will use tissue paper, glitter, and leftover beans. But for today, […]
Advent Calendar Craft
The idea behind this craft was to hang 25 little “pockets” made out of construction paper and put tiny, inexpensive gifts inside. No. It definitely didn’t work out that way. The whole pocket idea failed… we should have just used those mini envelopes like I saw on a bunch of other sites. It’s all fine, […]
Snowflake Craft
Open Snowflake Printable First, this craft comes with a printable; you can download and print it from the link above. This is a really simple craft – once you get past the cutting out of the snowflake.You have to cut out the center of the snowflake like pictured above. If you print on cardstock, you’ll […]
