and we're nailin' it!
We had a special order last month for name blocks. The blocks we made for this order were to be signed as a guest book at a shower! We love that idea! I have letter blocks that spell LUCIAN on a shelf in his room. I looked for letters at lots of antique stores before […]
One of my favorite things to teach about at the museum was bees, and we plan to plant a wildflower field at our house for bees too. So, I have been thinking about these bee blocks for awhile. Now, that I am finished, I love them! Lucian saw them and said “Oh wow, Mom! You […]
Our boys are at the perfect ages for shape identification. I saw this idea from a teacher who was using a laminated paper version and thought Lucian could totally use a set. Of course, I had to make them from wood. These are fun for going on an indoor or outdoor shape scavenger hunt! These […]
We have been working on numbers and colors with Brooks and I love puzzles! I wanted to make a puzzle that would combine both colors and numbers! He is really interested in squirrels lately and loves collecting acorns too! This puzzle has numbers 1-10. The corresponding acorn has the same number of circles under it […]
Lucian’s vocabulary is growing SO quickly these days. It is amazing to see how much more he knows each day. I thought it would be fun to help him learn with a matching game. This is fun because, I can make any variations or themes with these games. We have been practicing identifying colors with […]
For this week’s project, I created a counting puzzle. I included the number and the number word for kids who are learning both! I love the way this puzzle turned out. It is too advanced for Lu for now, and I planned to put it away for when he is older and ready to practice […]
I saw this idea made out of cardboard and decided I wanted to make it for Brooks! The cardboard option is a great DIY recycle and play option. A prerequisite to writing letters, numbers, and words is to be able make lines and marks, that is why this has a straight line, squiggly line, and […]
The boys enjoyed a little snow day this week, so I had weather on my mind. Lucian’s current favorite book right now is Red Sled too. So, we have been on quite the snow kick recently! I knew the perfect project to make for this week. I love the little calendar times I have gotten […]
This week’s project is is letters and alphabet fun! I have been wanting to do the letters for quite some time now! Brooks has really started to show an interest in an alphabet picture we have hanging in his room. When he waked up in the morning and from naps he points at it and […]
This week’s project is Mix and Match Emojis, this idea was sparked from my play when I was little. I loved anything mix and match whether I got to mix in match Polly Pockets or clothes for my paper dolls, babies and barbies clothes! It was my favorite! I designed these using Easel Pro and […]
