Writing in rice is a fun sensory experience! Before trying the rice I tried sugar (attracts ants) and salt (too messy). B had a fun time writing in rice. It was easy to see on the floor for pickup purposes. I wish I would have made the area bigger for him to draw and write …
Boggle Jr. and Magic Rocks are two fun ways to support beginning reading and writing. Boggle Jr. has everything you need to get started and magic rocks are easy to make on your own. I stumbled upon this Boggle Jr. game at a garage sale. To be honest I have no idea how …

I found the idea for the ABC Felt Pillow on Martha Stewart’s website when B was only 12 months old but got so excited about it, I made it right then. Right now B is just getting interested in it (28 months). It is great for letter identification, learning to spell their name/family names, and …
