Welcome!

This blog is here for you to find fun learning activities to do with your children. We share great ideas we find and love on the Internet, as well as ideas we come up with on our own! We also like to share resources we find helpful.

To find ideas for your child, click on the age range blog label or on the theme/topic you are looking for (on the left side of the page). In each post, we try to list optimal age ranges for the activity, but you must judge for yourself if it is appropriate for your child. When you try an activity out, please comment and let us (and everyone else) know how your child liked it!

Wood Flowers


This is a fun idea for something to give to mom or grandma for Mother's Day. It is something a child can do well enough on their own so the item is uniquely theirs.

This is something my children gave to me last year under the direction of my husband. 

Buy some wooden flowers. Many craft stores will have these--especially Michaels. Then you can buy a "vase" of some sort. My husband made this vase from wood, but you could buy a real vase or buy a wooden box.

Let the children paint the flower(S) as they want to. Let dry and give to the mom in your life! I have mine sitting on my computer desk.
