A few weeks ago, we watched “LEGO Masters”, a TV show of Lego building competitions. The show renewed our kids’ interest in LEGO building.

We have a marvellous LEGO collection at our house. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get played with as often as it should. Normally, we are all up for open-ended play, but seeing how a show with LEGO building challenges inspired my kids to play with it more than usual, I wondered if the open-endedness of it may sometimes be just… too much?

Sometimes deciding what to create is half the job. A list of creative prompts get the job started! That’s why I ended up creating a set of 70 LEGO building cards for my kids. They are now available for free on my blog for everyone to use.

Nature study can include a variety of topics. Some

Nature study can include a variety of topics. Some of them are pretty massive - the atmosphere, plate tectonics, and climate change. Our new Nature Trivia (available on the blog!) is different. It is about the small things that capture our attention and stop us in our tracks. It is about the sense of wonder that nature inspires in us, whether we are adults or children.

Have you ever paused and marvelled at the intricate shape of a snowflake, the pearlescent gleam of a seashell or the vibrant colours of fall foliage? I thought about them as I created the list of topics for this game - snow, seashells, leaves, fungi, rainbows, teeth and tusks, decomposition, corals, flowers, and many more. They are all insignificant in a way, but together they create this wonderful world around us.

I hoped that the game could help children discover a few of the amazing stories that are hidden in plain sight in nature and also inspire them to research more topics after they are done with the game.

Besides that, Nature Trivia is also a fun game to bring along as you head off on nature outings. My children absolutely love playing trivia games while we drive! They help us pass the time, and everyone can participate, even the driver. It doesn't hurt that the game packs into a nice stack of cards that you can easily bring along.

Children say the funniest and the most sincere thi

Children say the funniest and the most sincere things when asked the right questions! That’s why filling in a questionnaire like this one can bring very satisfying results – and an unforgettable personalized gift. Free to print on the blog!

If you are looking for a way to include a child or several children in making a gift for Father’s Day, Dad’s birthday, or any other holiday, this poster can be it. Slip the pages to the kids and have them secretly fill in the questionnaire, then pair the finished posters with whatever other present you might be preparing. ;)

The templates include a variety of terms for a father: Dad, Daddy, Dada, Father, and Papa. There are also templates for creating posters for Grandpa, Granddad, Grampy, and Pop. And if your family uses a different name, feel free to use the blank template. With its help, you can easily create a poster for a stepfather, an uncle, a brother, or a guardian.

A few years ago, my then-4-year-old son and I made these space rock magnets as a Father's Day craft. A passion for space was something that our son shared with his dad at that point, and we created a lot of space art together.

If you have a father or a grandfather who likes space, this is a very quick craft to throw together. You'll need some rocks, some magnets (the stronger, the better), acrylic paints, and a sponge. The sponge is the ticket to creating this out-of-the-world swirl of colours. You can read about the whole process if you search for "space rocks" on my website. ;-)

My children express much concern about climate change. It often comes with a question, “What can we do?” We have been researching it for a while, and these are the ideas that we came up with, turned into a series of colouring pages. The colouring pages also make a giant colouring poster. We hope that other children and adults who are concerned will find it helpful and inspirational. Have a great Earth Day! #earthday #climateaction #climatechangeforkids #earthdayactivities #environmentart #earthdayart #earthdayactivitiesforkids #homeschooling #homeschoolideas #unitstudy #earthdayeveryday #earthday2022 #earthdayideas

Happy International Day of Human Space Flight!

Space is full of wonders that we feel compelled to explore, yet space is also full of dangers that human bodies cannot survive unaided.

Scientists and engineers have had to develop special suits to overcome all of the conditions that explorers face out there. If your children want to learn more about them, check out our astronaut paper dolls on the blog.

Spring is a season for many holidays - Easter, Earth Day, Women's Day, Mother's Day... May the Fourth! :-)

It is also a season of rebirth and rejuvenation. Children’s relationships with their toys can be seasonal too, waxing and waning with novelty and their interests and inspirations.

In the spirit of spring, we made a new pack of magnetic tile building ideas to revitalize your kids’ engagement with their magnetic tiles while building seasonal designs.

You can see in the picture above that we've got a basket of eggs for Easter, a rainbow for Saint Patrick's Day, a guitar for Cinco de Mayo, and Yoda for May the Forth. There are many more designs in the package!

Explore our globe in greater detail by making a magnetic tile Earth with printable designs! The kids can play with it for as long as they want, and the stickers can be easily removed afterward, as they are just attached with a bit of glue stick.

It is a quick and suitable craft to celebrate Earth’s day with young builders, but it can also work any other day of the year you are talking about Earth, maps, or physical geography.

With the Earth in mind, the idea of an activity that gets more use out of an old toy and only creates recyclable/compostable waste seems particularly suitable!
