DIY: THANKSGIVING BOOK


This Thanksgiving, I am introducing a new tradition to the LO.  My personal belief is that children remember routine and structure and I want to start a Thanksgiving book that my girls will eventually do every year with the family.  I want this book to teach the LO and her sister about gratitude and being thankful for God's blessings.

TISSUE ROLL CUTTING


Is this not the cutest idea ever? I saw this on pinterest and I just had to do it.  The LO has been working on using scissors for a while now and she is learning how to close and open.

SENSORY BOXES AS A TEACHING TOOL


I love playing sensory boxes with the LO. It's simple to make, super engaging and provides a number of learning opportunities.  For this sensory box, I have uncooked elbow pasta, but you can use anything... sand, salt, pompoms, etc.  Whatever you like really.

WRAPPING WITH WASHI TAPE


Can I just say that washi tape is the next best thing to post-its notes? If you ever run out of wrapping paper, you can use washi tape on craft paper (or any plain paper) with a little imagination!

DIY GINGERBREAD HOUSE


This a very simple and inexpensive class cooking activity for young children. I cannot afford to buy each of my kids a gingerbread house kit so I had to be creative on this one.
