We are learning about birds this month with Mother Goose Time. Just in time for the birds coming home from their trip south over the winter. We have so much fun seeing them travel through the sky, learning about how birds build their nests and fly. The tail twirlers were pretty cool but I made…

Toilet Paper Roll Spring Chicks
Spring is here and we are looking for fun stuff to keep the kids busy during the rain and sadly this (hopefully) last snow storm. I have been drained lately and keeping up with the kids is a challenge. Lucky me Mother Goose Time has come to my rescue… again. This toilet paper roll spring…
Field Trip: Legoland Discovery Center Auburn Hills Michigan
When I got wind of the new NINJAGO training camp I knew it would be the perfect trip to kick of field trip season for the big kids. Now the majority of the nasty cold, flu, and viruses have died down we are hunting for fun active indoor things for the children. The Legoland Discovery…
Nature Science: Snail Trails
When we started the At The Pond theme we built our own observation pond for the children to get hands-on up close and personal with pond life despite it being winter and us not living anywhere near a pond. My sister did not think they would survive the month. Well here we are a month…

Tadpoles and Frog Lifecycles
Spring is here or well should be. The blanket of white snow outside makes me question if spring will ever come. The children are in major need of running free on a nice warm day. They don’t do cold and I don’t blame them after hot Kansas summers followed by years in Florida. In the…
Rainbow Preschool Printable Activities for Saint Patrick’s Day
Saint Patricks Day is Friday and Spring should be arriving soon. Though if you look out my window that is a bit questionable. The coating of white snow is thick and it is still coming down. The roads are slick. Nothing fun about it all. To try and get the kids back in the spring…
Sensory Station: Playdough and Letter Cookie Cutters
The kids have been a bit wild lately. With the weather bouncing back and forth between spring and winter the colder bad weather days the kids feel cooped up in the house. One thing I have learned is that we can turn those tough days around with some sensory play. Something about sensory play calms…
