If your kids love to color, or even if they just need something to do here’s a cute little 9 page Vampire Kids Coloring Book. Apparently vampires are organized into nests and the youngest members do the hunting…

Doesn’t Halloween bring out the child in all of us? When I was younger, I never really got super excited about hanging a few Halloween decorations up. But having children delight in seeing the decorations and even watching them get spooked for a second, is a hoot! Not all Halloween fun though has to be related to candy or spooky costumes and decorations. This year I have a super sweet Halloween cats colouring book just for you. Happy Halloween This time of year I enjoy decorating the house and making it look a little bit like a haunted house. I don’t…

If your children are about to start school, or are working towards entering grade one soon then this post is for you. Sight words are the most frequently printed and written words in the English language. They are generally simple words, ranging from Little to TO, to Down, THE, and of course AND. There are several of these sight words and the sooner children grasp and recognize them the easier it is to read. I think I mentioned this before here once or twice. My younger child had some trouble figuring out reading. The decoding didn’t come easy for them…

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…

Make way for a dinosaur word search! Dinosaurs provide such rich learning opportunities. Our dinosaur library of books has been large since my kids were toddlers. Diplodocus. Ankylosaurus. T-REX, and Pterodactyls!! How can you resist? Kids of all ages love Dinosaurs. There’s so much history and so many facts to be learned from dinosaurs. When my kids were small they would read endlessly about dinosaurs. There’s something about dinosaurs that captivates people even still and sparks the imagination.

You guys seem to love these word searches so I had my amazing helper build a beautiful new one that has some STEM learning in mind. When my kids were small there was a time when they were transfixed by the planets. In fact, they were as into planets as they were into dinosaurs for a few years. If your kids are at all like mine were then this Planets and Constellations Word Search will be perfect. Are your kids science junkies? Mine can be sometimes. It’s a good thing. Do you have a telescope? Are they budding astronomers? Then this…

It’s summer and I am pretty stoked about that. Not going to lie. My one daughter will be working most of the summer as a camp counsellor. So that’s new. She will be very busy. My younger daughter has a couple of camps she is doing so she’s also pretty busy, but still she needs extra things to do when the schedule becomes a little less structured. That’s where this summer word search and books come in handy. If your kids are like mine at all, they need a high level of activity. Mine are not the languish in the…

These are all good questions for preschoolers and even some toddlers, to be able to understand and answer. These questions help them build a cute craft while reinforcing their concept of identity and roles within…
