I had been promising my big boy that we could make ginger bread cookies with his new dragon and bunny cookie cutters ever since we got them. But I’ve been putting it off. I already spend enough time in the kitchen, I didn’t need to spend more time in there and have more mess to […]
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 […]
What To Do When You’re Almost Two.
The girls are at school and the big boy is at kinder, that just leaves the smallest at home. Noey is not used to being at home on his own. He’s used to having one, or three big kids to follow around. He’s used to having all his older siblings arguing over who he loves […]
Easy Art for Kids – Roll-on Painting.

It’s tough being four. It’s even tougher being four when you have two older sisters, and a baby brother, and no one ever lets you play the things you want to play. But sometimes it is good to be four. It’s good to be four when your sisters have gone to school and your brother […]
Easy Art for Kids – Scanned Drawing Prompts.
My kids love a good colouring in session. Me? I’m not so keen on colouring in books. I’d rather see my kids drawing and creating freely, not constrained by the ideas or thick black lines of other people. Even so, colouring in has found it’s place in our family, despite my misgivings, but when the […]
Easy Art For Kids – Dropper Painting
We’ve done dropper painting before, a long time ago when the girls were little. Back then we used droppers saved from medicine bottles, but these days all our medication seems to come with a spoon not a dropper, so I splurged a few dollars on a set of plastic pipettes when we were at Riot […]
