Christmas Paper Craft Ideas You’ll Love – Kids Crafts

November 18, 2013

It’s official! I am THAT girl. You know, the one who listens to Christmas music even BEFORE Thanksgiving! I can’t help it. We’ve been crafting up a storm around here for Christmas, and what’s crafting without Christmas music? Which, ps: I pretty much only craft at Christmas time. Some of my very best memories growing up are of doing kid’s crafts with my mom, and now some of my best mommy memories are crafting with my kids. So, despite my lack of talent, we through all caution to the wind and just have a blast!

To start off, I am so excited about this darling countdown to Christmas calendar I made! Believe me when I say that if I can do it, ANYONE can!! Click to read in full.

5 Tips for Children’s Piano Lessons

October 17, 2013

5 Tips for Children’s Piano Lessons Many parents ask themselves: when is the “right” time to start my child with piano lessons? Because every child is different, there is really no exact age; however, it is never too early to have your children regularly interact with different types of music.

Great idea! My children enjoyed pop-up books as well. Some of my favorite memories with my children are from holding them for hours in the rocking chair and reading. I kept a handful of books in the van as well, and anytime we went somewhere, especially to grandpa’s house which was an hour away, they pulled out books and read out loud to us. That also sparked some good discussions. Sometimes we read books backwards with dramatic expression….so funny! They learned to love reading. We literally wore out some of their favorite books. I don’t have grandchildren yet but I think I will add one or two of your suggested books to my bookcase in preparation 🙂 Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

I have found that the best way to iChat, etc. with the grandkids is to do it while they’re at the table eating..…….captive audience. It really works.ReplyCancel

Is the book pictured abov the 1st edition of KnckKnack Paddy Whack? I’ve found 2 by Paul Zelinsky on EBay. Nowhere can I find something indicating which one is 1st edition. The other book has a boy petting a dog with a bone. Thanks.ReplyCancel

I’m please to see your site. I’m a retired special needs teacher that tutors online. I have extended that to reading and listening to my grandchildren read on line using google and an online library. Your site is the closest to what I’m trying to encourage that I have found. I’ve started a new website and although I’m passionate about the interaction between family no matter the distance, getting the message across is the new part to me. I look forward to getting to know your site better. Barbara @ #thefamilyreadingbench on facebookReplyCancel

If you’re a parent of young kids you know to never throw away big boxes. Boxes provide so much entertainment for kids, they can become castles, houses, space ships, and yesterday ours became a coloring book. I set my daughter in the box with a bunch of crayons and markers and let her go crazy....

“I don’t want to grow up” day

October 9, 2013

Last week my sweet four-year old son came up to me with the saddest look on his face. With tears in his eyes he whimpered, “mom, I don’t want to grow up!” It was cute and heartbreaking all at the same time. I could not figure out where it was coming from and I didn’t...
