    Free and Educational Landforms Flash Cards

    August 24, 2020 / No Comments

    What do mountains, peninsulas, lakes and wetlands have in common? Take a moment to think about it. That’s right, they are all landforms. Right now, as the summer trails off and closes in on fall I thought it might be a good time to share these free landforms flash cards. Remember Being a Small Bean in a Huge World? Last week, while visiting my brother and his family at a cottage in Sauble Beach I listened to his adorable kids, my niece and nephew refer to Lake Huron as a river, or the ocean. That simple childhood slip reminded me of being small and that period of time during your…

    Keep Growing and Reading with these Dinosaur Books

    May 6, 2020 / No Comments

    As you know, many kids in Ontario and many other Canadian provinces have moved on to online school. While that process for me is a bit up and down, some weeks I have loved it and others not so much, I have used this opportunity to add more literature and entertaining educational books to my home. I received these DK Canada Dinosaur Books for consideration here. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to my readers. I receive a small commission on qualifying purchases.

    Let’s play five things you didn’t know about me. One. I am afraid of snakes. They creep me out big time. Two. I grew up in Guelph with my Mom and brother. We were a tiny family of three. Three. I didn’t take my first trip by plane until I was about 23. I paid for it myself and went to Margarita Island in Venezuela for spring break with several girlfriends. Four. My Mom grew up in England. Five. My Dad’s family came from Germany. Enjoy this adorable Germany colouring and printing book for kids. I’ve never been to either England or Germany, but I genuinely need to visit both…

    Bright Canada Colouring and Writing Book

    April 7, 2020 / No Comments

    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…

You might not be able to visit France this March, but you sure can learn a little bit about it with this France Coloring and Writing Book. Eiffel Tower, fields of lavender, great cheese and wine!

    Looking for educational resources to help during this time at home, or while homeschooling? This England Coloring Book and Printing activity is just the right thing to get your children excited about exploring the world. In times of uncertainty, I need to things to look forward to.

    In May of this year my oldest daughter and I will travel to Greece for the first time ever. We are beyond stoked.

    Canadian Provinces and Territories Worksheet

    January 12, 2017 /

    Today I thought it would be useful to share my Label the Canadian provinces worksheet because it’s educational and helpful for kids learning about Canada. I confess that one of my daughters struggles with geography and visual spatial perception. What does that mean? Well, it means that she needs extra help figuring out things sometimes. For instance if I asked her to draw a map of Canada she would genuinely struggle. If I asked her to put all the names of the provinces on this map she would need support with that. Sometimes seeing her struggle with geography It is a little bit sad for me to witness as her…
