We love to play Memory which is why this Halloween Memory game was such a hit at our house! Lil Mop Top is offering a cute, free printable that you can use for matching or for playing memory!
Bored with crayons and paper? To drive and draw, tape two markers to the back of a car. These markers are short and the car is a little larger so it fits. You can also use crayons.
Make sticker puzzles using a few foam stickers and cardstock. Create different pictures with your stickers on the left (actually sticking them on the paper) and give your child the same stickers to copy the picture on the right (not sticking them so you can reuse the activity). This is a great way to develop visual discrimination …
Wait! Don’t throw that away! Here are some more ways you can use this sticker sheet one more time to make learning fun for your preschooler or toddler. When we were done with this sheet of stickers I decided to see what I could reuse the outside part of the sticker sheet for. I stuck …

I found the idea for Magnetic Pom Poms at Home Grown Hearts. I fell in love with these and all of the things they can be used for. To be honest, I was debating on whether to make them because I knew I’d be bummed if I spent time making them and then they just ended …
Do you have a set of play dishes? If so, then this washing dishes activity is perfect for you! Give your child the chance to wash their play dishes in the bathroom sink. It is the perfect height (with a stool), not too much water (soap optional), and tons of fun! When B does this, …
We already use these shaped ice cube trays for making crayons, transferring ice cubes with kitchen utensils, and for Muffin Tin Monday, and now bathtub ice cubes. Just add food coloring (NOT TOO MUCH), freeze them, and you are ready to go. B had a great time “seeing what would happen”. He …
