Going on a Shape Hunt #kids #activity

by Ashley Moore from Life with Moore Babies

Shapes are everywhere. Everything we see from signs, to houses, to animals, to letters, we recognize them as specific shapes. Shapes are the basis for math, reading, and writing. Children first have to recognize differences in shape before they can recognize differences in numbers and letters.  Just teaching shapes by looking at the shape is good, but seeing shapes in everyday objects is even better. To practice this we went on a Shape Hunt!

Cupcake Liner Flower Card #kids #craft

for ages 2yo and up with Adult Participation and Supervison

Handmade greeting cards can me special momentos that friends and family hold onto for many years.  Catching a glimpse of one in a drawer or a box many years after that child has grown up or even had a child of their own can instantly bring back sweet memories of those small hands and precious face.

This cupcake liner card can work for Mother's Day, Get Well Soon or even Just Because.

Creating Art with Non-Traditional Tools #kids #activity

by Alvina of There's Magic Out There

Creativity is an awesome tool to have in life, To be able to think outside the box is something we want our children to be able to do. When most people think about painting they think paintbrushes or finger painting but there are many other ways to create Art and we had fun exploring some of those this weekend.

Where Do We Live? #kids #activity

from Ashley from Life with Moore Babies

When you are small you never think about anything outside your own town; after all that is what you know. As you grow you learn people and places extend much further then the borders of your own knowledge. This is a very hard concept to grasp for younger kids. One way to help them become more familiar with the world outside of their world is to relate it to other people you know.
