Before I had kids, I always planned that when I did have them, I would limit their TV time. I never said I wasn’t going to let them have any, I just wanted to be sure they didn’t get a ton. I am not one that thinks TV is the devil…well not exactly [...]

Well…its been several weeks since I brought you all a freebie Friday post! So here is one for you! A simple yet fun Princess Barrier Game for the princess(es) in your life!

Like I mentioned on Tuesday, my freebies that went along with the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Clover book were quite a hit, so I wanted to offer up some for the Chick Book. In the post I shared a story telling necklace as well as a barrier game (that can be used [...]

Well…it’s Freebie Friday and I actually didn’t make a freebie this week. Life has been busy here and I have been, well, uninspired! I do have a project in the works but it is a bigger project so it won’t be ready any time soon. So what I decided to do is share [...]

It has been a busy week here! I was able to squeeze in a little Valentine’s Freebie though! I made this Conversation Heart Math Game.

So this past week, I saw two similar activities that I really LOVED. The first one, is from Roots of Simplicity. She created a great gross motor reading activity by writing words on snowflakes and taping them to the ground (check out her post for details). Then, Emma at Mummy Mummy Mum linked up [...]

This week, we have been reading three books focusing on Chinese New Year and Chinese Culture. Why? Because Monday is CHINESE NEW YEAR! And, in case you didn’t know, my husband is {half} Chinese, and I really would like our children to grow up knowing about their different heritages. (In case you were [...]

Life has been BUSY this week, so just a quick freebie today for Freebie Friday! To help celebrate Chinese New Year, I’ve made some Chinese Zodiac Memory game cards. In fact, I made two different sets. You can combine the two sets for one giant memory or card game, or just use one [...]

Well, after quite a blogging break, I am so happy to be back this week and so excited to share with you all my freebie today! This month, we are focussing on both winter activities and Chinese New Year activities. So in the spirit of winter, I created these Penguin Cards. There are [...]

This week, I was perusing the internet in search of some new and fun fine motor activities to do with my daughter (make sure to check out my Fine Motor Monday post to see some other fun ones we did last week) when I found this cool clothespin activity at Preschool Printables..and another [...]

I was checking out some other speech therapy blogs this week and came across a great post from Jenna at Speech Room News on how she used some foam leaves to work on “wh” questions with her students. Her post inspired me to think up a fun activity to target toddler and preschool [...]
