What Do We Do All Day

Books and Activities for Kids

More Bean Counting

April 2, 2008

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

March 24, 2008

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? Honestly, Mom barely got around to it, however, and today’s project almost consisted of simply frying an egg. But as the necessity of filling the day reared its ugly head, Easter…

Hung Out To Dry: Fine Motor and Literacy Activity

March 20, 2008

Combine fine motor and literacy with a clothespin alphabet

Clothespins are a great fine motor activity for kids and combining it with the alphabet adds a literacy twist. This is a super simple activity to set up and keeps the kids busy, which all parents need! I tied a string between two chairs in the living room and handed Kiddo a set of homemade…

Vroom! Vroom!

March 20, 2008

  Pardon my terrible photo!! I created a masking tape road on a canvas drop cloth. Kiddo loves organizing his toy vehicles on it. It was another idea from DIY Distractions. (That book has become so handy!) You can see the cat enjoyed it, too — or is that the grated cheese Kiddo spilled? Hmmmm. Anyhow,…

Exploring the Woods in Early Spring

March 17, 2008

Today was a crisp Spring day. Even though winter coats were still de rigueur, we decided to go for a walk in the woods. OK, these are the urban woods, but they can have a charm of their own. There are many different kinds of wood in the woods to discuss: trees, sticks, wood chip mulch that…

Simple Themed Art Project: Shiny

March 10, 2008

A simple art theme like shiny can inspire a fun creative session with kids

We’ve been engaged in some unplugged fun lately and I find a great way to approach an art project session with Kiddo is to pick a simple theme and center our attentions around that theme.  This week we chose “shiny” and  “blue” art. We started with a visit to the art store down the street where…

Art Project: Collage Book

February 12, 2008

Collage books are an easy art project for kids

My son is showing an interest in birds but he’s not drawing them yet so I thought it would be fun art project to help him create his own bird book using magazine cut outs for a collage project. First we read the book, Birdsongs and I asked Kiddo if he would like to make…

Sorting Pom Poms Into Egg Cartons

February 1, 2008

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

January 30, 2008

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…
