Have your child retell the story with items they find around the house. Here is a video of the story to explore as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Hz2J88bPM Take care my friends and have fun exploring Goldilocks and the Three Bears!

Punch the Numbers
Hello friends! This activity will only take a few minutes to set up. You will need some paper/cardstock, a marker to write the numbers and a hole punch. I used these printables for the shapes but feel free to cut them out freehand. https://www.firstpalette.com/pdf/shapes-basic.pdf https://www.firstpalette.com/pdf/shapes-fun.pdf This activity is great for practicing numbers and counting as well… using the hole puncher helps build little hand muscles for printing! Challenge your child to color in the shapes before they punch them… Have them name the shapes…. how many points does a triangle have? Put the numbers in a number line…. So much learning!! Have fun!

Bubble bubble bubble bubble…POP!
Let’s make some BIG bubbles together! Here is the recipe for GIANT bubbles friends… 6 cups of warm water 1/2 cup of blue Dawn dish detergent 1 tablespoon of glycerin Mix all the ingredients gently. The longer you “marinate” the bubble solution, the larger the bubbles will be so leave them in the fridge overnight. Dip your wand into the solution. No swishing or stirring! I can’t wait to see some photos of your beautiful bubbles! Bubble wand instructions coming soon!

Stone Puzzles
I don’t know about you but I love collecting stones… there are so many shapes, sizes and colours! I want you to find a bag or basket and go for a walk outside. Your job today is to find some beautiful rocks and bring them home. Ask your children questions… how do the rocks feel? What shape do you see? Do you see lines in the rock? When you get home you might want to set your child up at the sink so they can wash and dry their stones. Once they are done find a piece of paper, a pencil, a marker and a small bowl to hold the…

So, it’s too dark to play outside after dinner but your kiddo’s energy is high and bedtime isn’t for another hour, what do you do? Here’s a simple game called, Night-time Safari, that is perfect for this moment. All you need are toy animals (stuffies work well) and a flashlight.

The Wonder of Nature
Nature – the magic bullet? Since the pandemic began many changes have ensued steering families to make decisions they never thought they would ever make. Working from home with little children banging on the door demanding fishy crackers may not exactly be what you thought going back to work would look like. The low level anxiety people are faced with everyday as the pandemic lingers on, just shouldn’t be – and yet, here we are. Children feel stress too and are really good at letting parents/caregivers know through their behaviour. Play dates are postponed, grandma and grandpa need to stay safe and can’t help out like they use to. Parents…
