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!

Triangle Star Ornament


Brayden made this cute star in Primary this past Sunday. It is quite simple and a fun way for your child to make an ornament. This is perfect if you want to learn about the shape triangle at this time of year. It is also great for developing geometry skills in recognizing shapes within shapes.

Cut out two triangles. If your child is old enough, have him cut them out. This is excellent fine motor practice.

Glue the two triangles together so they form a star shape. Punch a hole in one point, tie a ribbon, and you are done!

This is simple enough for older children (preschooler and older) to do without your direct help, so you could have this be a Christmas activity while you are doing other things close by.

This is such a lovely and creative activity for kids. I really like how it combines festive fun with early learning, especially helping children understand triangles and recognize shapes within shapes. Letting them cut, glue, and assemble the star is also great for building fine motor and independence skills. Activities like this show how simple crafts can support learning in a natural way, which is something I often reflect on while working on academic projects too, especially when looking for clear explanations and structure duringDissertation Help tasks. A perfect balance of creativity and learning.
