This is an activity that was a variation on a previous bean counting activity. Mom wasn’t sure about it since she knew it would be really easy for Kiddo. Kiddo has no problems counting to 100 as the time limit for Mom to take a shower in the morning so counting to 10 is not…

What Really Happens When You Dye Easter Eggs With Kids
Today’s Unplugged Project was “eggs.” Well, of course Mom thought most people would do Easter eggs, so why not jump on the band wagon?

Sorting Pom Poms Into Egg Cartons
Mom is slightly behind on the Unplugged Project of the week, but today she managed to get out the egg cartons — the theme of the week. Kiddo has not been very interested in art this week and Mom is not into crafts which suggest that Kiddo make something familiar out of materials. He has…

The Littlest Bean Counter: Preschool Math Activity
This was such an easy math counting idea to put together and my son absolutely loved it. Maybe more than he should have for a 3 year old! I love that it also worked his fine motor skills. Picking up tiny beans can be tricky work! Kiddo is totally obsessed with numbers and counting. I don’t…
