    Owl I Want For Christmas – Cute Owl Colouring Page

    November 18, 2021 /

    Owl I want for Christmas is you! I know. I know. Silly and kind of cutesy, right? This cute owl colouring page will capture everyone’s hearts.

Owl I Want is… Well, every single time I hear that Mariah Carey song all I can think about is the choreographed dance that came with it way back when my kids were in a Christmas play at Original Kids. These days we are not as involved in the theatre scene. I mean we are all still mostly easing back into life as…

    Take the Summertime Building Challenge

    April 14, 2021 /

    My kids are older now and yet one of them is so enamoured with Lego, specifically the most challenging kits that are like a gigantic puzzle scene. Give her a Harry Potter clock tower or astronomy scene and she’s transfixed for hours, until it is finished. She’s my puzzler, the one who loves to build and make puzzle pieces fit. While I love writing and creative pursuits, I am less skilled at building. Summertime is the ideal time for creativity and getting outside. Swimming, walking, hiking and camping – these are my favourite things to do in the warm months, but there are many days when the weather gets in…

    Easy Christmas I Spy Game for Preschoolers

    December 17, 2020 /

    Bring on all the Christmas Word Games. We love them. True story. I printed out a couple of these for my youngest daughter yesterday. Maybe not this one, but the Christmas crossword and the Christmas word scrambler. She loves those kinds of word games. Counting Plus Sorting This Christmas I Spy game is a little bit different in that it is more about math and counting and numeracy. That would definitely not appeal to a few of the kids that I know, but even so, it is important to start learning these concepts and to keep it fun at the same time. Also here’s the thing. At that age, you…

    How to Create a Fun Winter Scavenger Hunt

    December 9, 2020 /

    A Winter Scavenger hunt is a great way to get outside and have some fun, with social distancing in mind of course. It’s easy to find ways to get and be out of doors when the spring and summer months are here. But winter gets a bad wrap that way. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers.

    It’s time for a Halloween Scavenger Hunt. This year, Halloween might be a lot different than usual. Who even knows at this point? Whatever happens, I’m committed to making the best of the season here as I’m sure you are too. Halloween brings out the child in everyone. Am I right?

    A few of you know I am Canadian, born and bred. I have never been more proud to be Canadian than I am right now. Despite a global crisis, I feel like our Prime Minister and Premiers are handling the situation well. It’s not easy and I wouldn’t, even for a million dollars, want their job under the best circumstances. A Little Slice of Canada Have you ever visited Canada? It’s always astonishing to me how many have not been to the Great White North. If you are working on teaching your kids a bit more about Canada right now, or homeschooling them at all, then this cute Canada Colouring…

    10 Sensory Play Ideas with Gelatin

    May 25, 2015 /

    My kids are a curious combination of sensory seeking and sensory avoiding. That’s not uncommon for children with sensory processing difficulties. My older daughter avoids anything that feels scratchy. My younger daughter seeks out deep pressure often and also avoids any fabrics that are not soft and comfortable. Both have some sensory issues. I have written about that often here. Remember this post about 5 easy and free sensory play activities for kids with sensory processing disorder. [tweetthis]Five Easy and Free activities for kids who love sensory play https://www.thriftymommastips.com/easy-and-free-sensory-play-activities-for-kids/[/tweetthis] Both of my girls indulge in and seek out messy play.

    Ten Fun and Creative Easter Crafts

    March 31, 2015 /

    Spring weather inspires creativity. I have noticed just this week, in the first days of spring, that I am inspired to start new projects. I have also pitched old contacts new ideas and so on. That makes me feel positive and happy about the change of seasons. Are you noticing the same? Maybe it’s the thinner coats and clothes, but I feel somehow lighter and able to see all the possible wonderful opportunities to create. I am sure my kids are feeling the same in some ways. Lately when I knock on my older daughter’s door I see the sewing kit and craft materials scattered across her floor. I will…

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Well, almost! My husband is part Irish, so we could wholeheartedly celebrate this holiday if we wanted to. We don’t typically. I mean, we have kids. Our fun times and parties incorporate kid’s games and family friendly activities. What do you do for St. Patrick’s Day? Do you celebrate at all or play it low key? Regardless of whether you go all out or stay home and play it low key watching a movie, pretty much anyone can appreciate a simple word search. This one is simple enough for the kids and clean family friendly fun for the rest of us. I love word puzzles and…
