    Praying Mantis Life Cycle Games Activity Booklet

    January 13, 2021 / No Comments

    What do you know about the praying mantis or the praying mantis life cycle? It is at once one of the creepiest and also one of the coolest bugs going. That’s why I thought it would be fun to share this praying mantis life cycle games booklet with you. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers.

    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…

    July 27, 2020 / 14 Comments

    Is it time for a STEM challenge? Post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. I receive a small commission via qualifying purchases. Keep Them Entertained and Learning Right now, with a return to school still a bit uncertain and summer in full glow, you might be hunting for ways to engage the kids in educational activities. I don’t know about your children, but mine have always loved hands on kinaesthetic learning. It’s simply how my kids learn best. They are hands on and visual as well. Auditory is lower down on the list for my kids anyways. So, if you want them to retain something, often that requires…

    Germany Colouring and Printing Book

    April 15, 2020 / No Comments

    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…

    Greece Coloring and Writing Book For Your Family Trip

    March 3, 2020 / No Comments

    In May of this year my oldest daughter and I will travel to Greece for the first time ever. We are beyond stoked. It is her last year of high school and she literally just a few days ago got accepted into university. Her first choice for the subject she wants! Can’t wait to celebrate that in Greece. Learn All About Greece Now While my children are way too old for this cute Greece coloring and writing book, yours might just be exactly the right age for it. I love getting kids psyched about travel and geography and learning all of the things about this beautiful world we live in.…

    Sign Language Flash Cards and Memory Game

    June 13, 2019 / No Comments

    Use these Sign Language Flash Cards and Memory Game to nurture a love of languages this year. These are perfect for any age. I have been a language lover from the time I was young. At about 7 years old I wrote a booklet with a male classmate. It was grade two, I think, and we made a big splash with our words and storytelling and I knew pretty much from that age that I’d be a writer in some capacity. In those early days language and learning and words were everything to me. Family too, of course. Things haven’t really changed that much in that regard. My kids are…

    Boreal Forest Food Chain Colouring Book

    May 29, 2019 / No Comments

    At some point during your child’s school years they will start learning about the food chain. That also means learning about environment and geography to some degree. If they are studying Canadian geography and environment then they might come upon discussion of the Boreal Forest. Boreal Forest Food Chain Activity Book The Boreal Forest Food Chain Colouring Book and Activity Pack here is super cute and educational too. One of my smart and talented helpers designed this Boreal Forest Food Chain activity book, so I could share with readers and I love it.

    The Best STEM Toys for the Holiday Season

    October 29, 2018 / 3 Comments

    STEM toys are some of my favorite gifts to give children. If you’ve read my blog, you know I love giving STEM gifts as a way to make learning fun. I’ve found great Stem books in the past that got my kids excited about learning and over the years I’ve found all sorts of toys to keep their minds sharp. Right now it’s prime time to get shopping for STEM gifts for the holiday season. Around here it’s never too early.

    Our Solar System Learning Unit

    August 17, 2017 /

    Our Solar System is full of wonder. There was a time when my oldest daughter was young when she read all the things about the solar system. She was as interested in planets and solar system as she was into dinosaurs before that. This month I figured I would share a great cosmic learning unit to help get kids back into the swing of learning. You can use this seven page learning unit now or save it for later when school is in. And if you homeschool you are welcome to print it out and use it. Our Solar System is genuinely incredible. Solar System Facts Did you know there…

    Social Media Issues – How Ontario Teachers Navigate the Waters

    September 4, 2016 /

    Social media issues can be challenging. It’s a field that is in a constant state of flux. Facebook changes its algorithm. Twitter offers a new feed. One network wanes while another jets off into the stratosphere. And just when you think you have it all figured out, suddenly your high schooler comes home talking about some new chat service that nobody over the age of 20 has EVER heard of before. Social media issues can be a real danger to both children and the teachers responsible for their education. Teachers are the people who spend 5 to 6 hours a day with your child. They need to know how to navigate the…
