I recently made these snowflake pattern blocks templates as part of a new “school” system I am going to do with Smiley Man. Since Smiley Man is still pretty young (20 months), I don’t think he will be able to use these pattern blocks templates the “regular” way. However, he loves to play with pattern… Continue reading Snowflake Pattern Blocks Templates

M&M Christmas Pictures Activity
I made this cute M&M Christmas pictures activity for Little Bear because he really loves do-a-dot pages, but I wanted to do something extra special for Christmas. Instead of dot markers, these Christmas pictures use red and green M&Ms to fill the circles. I printed the M&M Christmas pictures off in color and laminated them. You can… Continue reading M&M Christmas Pictures Activity
Christmas Lights Preschool Activities
I just love Christmas! Sometimes I’m just a tad overexcited about it. So, naturally, it’s my job as a mother to make my children a tab bit MORE overexcited about Christmas. After all, that is what mother’s do. :) A little while ago I found a free font called Xmas Lights BRK. I downloaded it… Continue reading Christmas Lights Preschool Activities
Gingerbread Man Cut and Paste Preschool Activity
Cut and paste activities are really helpful for Little Bear right now. He needs lots of cutting practice and practice using a glue stick. Unfortunately, he doesn’t exactly love cut and paste activities. That means it is up to me to think of fun activities that he will enjoy cutting and pasting. A few days ago we… Continue reading Gingerbread Man Cut and Paste Preschool Activity

Toys that Help with Gross Motor Development
My Smiley Man is a pretty great walker, but it has been a long road to get there. Read my posts about him not quite walking and just barely walking. Gross motor development is very important to development in general. I have used a variety of toys to help him in his gross motor journey.… Continue reading Toys that Help with Gross Motor Development

Now is a really good time of year to be learning about leaves, so I took the opportunity to create some educational activities centered around leaves. I started with one activity, but it turned into… Continue reading Leaf Activities
Feed the Man Letter and Sight Word Activity
A little while ago, I found this AMAZING idea called Feed the Monster from Allison at Train Up a Child. Her oldest son had to read his sight words one at a time and then he got to “feed” it to a milk jug monster that he had previously made. It sounded like such a… Continue reading Feed the Man Letter and Sight Word Activity
Halloween Counting
Little Bear has been loving dot markers lately so I thought it would be nice to have a seasonal learning activity that used them. My amazing co-blogger, Cassidy, made up this cute little Halloween do-a-dot counting activity and Little Bear loved it. Cassidy’s niece stars in the pictures, but I’ll be writing about Little Bear. Sorry… Continue reading Halloween Counting
