Water play

I can't take any credit for this idea. Judah (age 3) was sitting at our island with some water and a crazy straw. I heard him saying "there's a J for Judah!"

So I came over and saw that he was scribbling and I decided to write his name for him - which he loves to see!


What a fun idea!

Daily To-Do Free Printable!

I love free printables, and I love to-do lists! Anything to help me get more organized! Here is a simple and fun daily to-do list. Free printable to-do list! I'm thinking that I'll print one off and stick it in a sheet protector so that I can use a dry erase marker and not have to print a new sheet every day! And then if I don't get something done, I can just leave it on the list (come on, I'm not the only one, right??) Click here for the PDF. Please email if you would like me to edit it for you. My to-do list, I changed it to have a section for each of my boys, as I like to keep notes on them! Enjoy!

I have been saving toilet paper tubes for a while now, thinking that I am going to use them for some brilliant craft. Well, today I finally did! Judah loved them! He loved the whole process of making them (which to be honest, took a while). First we painted them, then we glued on the eyes, then we cut them, then we played with them! Octopus out of toilet paper tube We kept stacking them and saying "ah, there's an octopus on my head!" The Octopus round-up! While playing, I mentioned that "octo" means eight and that's why we call it an octopus, because it has eight legs. Simple introduction to language skills and critical thinking. So fun and easy!

Gnomes

We received a gnome house for a white elephant present a few years ago and it came with a very cute little family. I have been wanting to make more people and I finally did it! Viola! As per the Waldorf way, they don't have smiles because then they can have any emotion. However, when I made one and showed it to Judah, he requested eyes. So they all have eyes. I guess they can just never be asleep then. I followed the directions here .
