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!

Me Encanta Tu Blog Award!


Many thanks to Lori at Montessori MOMents (love that title) for this award! This award is fun because it involves different questions for accepting it. 

1. Why did you create the blog?
We orginally started it wanting to keep track of great resources we had found for learning actvities for children. We quickly started sharing our own ideas, and that is where we currently sit is sharing our ideas, though we do still share other great resources.
2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
Blogs of friends, other learning blogs, parenting blogs, craft blogs (that's Val), and religious blogs.
3. Do you have a favorite brand of makeup?
Val here...I honestly don't care what brand my make-up is. I have a hard time paying a lot of money for something you wash off every single day. I happen to own and use Mary Kay make-up, but I wouldn't mind it being something cheap, either.

I do, however, care about skin care. That is something that I find value in spending money on. Again, I do primarily Mary Kay with some Sea Breeze and St. Ives thrown in there.
4. And a favorite clothing brand?
Val here...no, I don't much care what brand it is.

5. What makeup products are essential for you?
Val here...I am not a big make-up person. I didn't even wear foundation or mascara on my wedding day. Very true. If I had to choose only one thing to use for the rest of my life it would be eyeliner.
6. What’s your favorite color?
Val here...I really like all colors. Right now, I am all about gray (which I happen to spell grey).
7. What’s your favorite perfume?
Val here...I like Ralph by Ralph Lauren. But I don't even wear perfume monthly anymore...wow I sound boring :)
8. What’s the film you liked the most?
Val here...am I really expected to answer a question like that? I don't think I could do that for a specific genre, much less the blanket category of "film." 
I guess I will just offer a list: Lord of the Rings Trilogy (but it must be extended version or I get mad about the inconsistencies with the books), Legally Blonde, Pride and Prejudice, the original Star Wars Trilogy. 
9. What countries would you like to go to?
Val here...all of them. Really. I would love to visit any and all countries...well...so long as I would be safe. I don't have the desire to visit any country where I would feel like I was in danger.

Versatile Blogger Award


Thanks to Deb over at Living Montessori Now for this award!

Rules for this award are similar to others:
  1. Thank and link to the person who gave it to you
  2. Share 7 things about yourself
  3. Pass it on to others
So, 7 things about us:
  1. Amanda now has two children--her second baby was born relatively recently.
  2. Raegan is pregnant with her third child and actually due very soon.
  3. Valerie's favorite football team is the Kansas City Chiefs. I have big plans for them this playoff season.
  4. Amanda lives where it is cold in the winter...and basically no one else lives where she lives.
  5. Raegan lives where it is warm most of the time (warm in my eyes).
  6. Valerie lives where it is 10 degrees as a high today.
  7. We are moms.
Ha! I cheated on the last one! But I had to do something that is true of all three of us so I went with that.

Now for the new awardees
