Color Matching Butterflies

April 23, 2014 By meredith 9 Comments

This post contains affiliate links. For about a month now, I've been dabbling in a little preschool homeschooling with my {almost} 3 year old.  We've started simple with a letter a  week and activities revolving around that letter.  Recently for the letter B, I used my Cricut Explore™ to make some butterfly cutouts which we used the following week for some color matching for the letter C. To … [Read more...]

Resurrection Eggs for Toddlers

April 15, 2014 By meredith 18 Comments

I've been consistently doing preschool activities with my 2 1/2 year old for about a month now.  We've started easy, with a new letter of the alphabet each week, counting, shapes, colors...that sort of thing.  With Easter approaching this Sunday though, I was eager to find an activity for him to help his little mind begin to understand the importance of the day.  I was thrilled to find a few ideas … [Read more...]

Favorite Apps for Toddlers

September 17, 2013 By meredith 11 Comments

Today's Teach Me Tuesday is a little bit different.  No cute handmade activity to share today.  Instead, we're going to talk technology. Let me start this post by saying that this is not in any way a sponsored post.  I simply LOVE these apps {or I should say, my toddler loves these apps}.  I know many parents like to limit the "screen time" their child gets each day, and to that I say to each his … [Read more...]

DIY Felt Activity Board

September 3, 2013 By meredith 26 Comments

I'm so excited at the positive response I got to last week's "Teach Me Tuesdays" activity.  In case you missed it, check out my idea for color sorting and matching here. Let's dive right into this week's activity, shall we?! I'm so excited to share this week's idea as it's something that you can get a ton of use out of as your children grow.  The possibilities for learning truly are endless … [Read more...]

Paint Palette Color Sorting

August 27, 2013 By meredith 12 Comments

Before I share today's tutorial, I wanted to introduce a new idea I've had for a while for a series on the blog.  You see, I'm a former elementary teacher.  While there are some days that I do miss it, I'd much rather be at home with these two cuties instead. In fact, I love being home with them so much, that my husband and I have decided that when it's time to start school, I'll be … [Read more...]
