“I want to know if it weighs more, or the same” He demanded. “Ok, that’s easy, we’ll just weigh them” I suggested, then I remembered our kitchen scales were not packed in a box somewhere. Of course my five year old needed to do this now, not tomorrow, not in a little while… now! I […]
Mono Printing Using Tiles
Sometimes it’s good to live on a building site. (Yes I am trying hard to find the positives in these never ending renovations) It’s good because there are lots of interesting bits and pieces lying around to play with! To escape the frustration of on-again, off-again rain on the weekend I stole a couple of […]
Exploring with Tape.
Tape. Sticky tape, masking tape, electrical tape, gaffa tap. My kids love tape. Tape provides much crafting joy around here, and it never lasts long! So I knew I had a sure fire boredom buster up my sleeve when I picked up a roll of masking tape for each of my big kids. Then one […]

On a whim I bought a cheap whiteboard and some whiteboard markers this morning. It’s been one of the best spare of the moment, dollar store, purchases ever! Morgan loves using it as he is very interesting in drawing and writing letters at the moment. The girls loved a new space for drawing, but we […]
Make A Crown! – Free Printable Crown Template
There are a lot of different crowns in our house, but according to Morgan, none of them are ‘Kingly enough’. Our original printable tiara template was not right. Apparently a King’s crown needs a spot for a really big jewel at the top, and it’s more pointy. Armed with these instructions I set to work […]
Imaginative Play – Why it’s Great for Parents!
In case you haven’t noticed, I really like imaginative play. Lucky for me, so do my kids! Kids learn so much from imaginative play. It is an holistic type of play, covering all areas of develop and allowing the child to focus on and learn whatever he or she is most interested in or ready […]
