If you want to do something special with your kids this St. Patrick's Day, why not try a scavenger hunt? Get your kids dressed as green as they can while you hide gold coins (the yummy ones from chocolate) all over your flat or garden. Then everybody gets one of our St. Patrick's Day scavenger […]
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who celebrated her 4th birthday. She and her lucky sister both got beautiful princess dresses. They loved everything about them - dancing around with swinging petticoats, gracefully waving their hands just like Royals and above all, being treated like real Princesses. The purple and pink dress was […]
It's a part of life and how we raise our kids that we remind them to be tidy, to take care, not to damage property, teach them to stay in the lines, don't tear pages or write in books. These are all valuable lesson for life but at the same time they can stifle a creative […]
Ever since our baby has started eating food on her own, the floor under the kitchen table has been a disaster area. Crumbs, spills, chunks of food. Her technique is improving but still I would say about half of her food ends up on the floor. Vacuuming would be a daily exercise but who has […]
Kids are very active and always eager to explore new things every day. They don't want rooms that are primarily functional, but inspiring and exciting. If you are looking for something that is not specifically gendered then here is a great idea for an amazing kids room. My nieces are the lucky little monkeys that […]
In anticipation of those warmer sunny days, here is a little girl enjoying her ice cream with all her senses. Fearlessly, she's facing a huge brain freeze! Have a nice day!
My youngest niece created her very first giant necklace. 🙂 She brought her wooden lacing toy to our place and we both had a lot of fun with this little game. Lacing toys are a great way to encourage every toddler's fine motor skills and hand-eye-coordination. It also teaches them to keep trying and not to […]
These little guys are just too cute to look at. It's wonderful how impressed they still are with our world. Watch the video and then take your little sunshine on a ride through the next tunnel - and don't forget your camera to capture this special memory!
My niece loves to play with this wiggly wobbly flower that I actually only have as decoration. But everytime she comes to visit us, she goes straight into the kitchen and grabs it. If she pushes the button under the flower pot, the usually tight strings inside droop and so does the flower - it looks wilted. […]
Potty training can seem like an impossible challenge with your toddler. Once they have the idea that they should do their business in the bathroom there's still the challenge of actually making it into the toilet. Here's some incentive for little boys. Make toilet time a game and aim for the bullseye! This is a similar […]
Our baby girl is almost a year now and with each day she is learning and exploring more and more. She's using her sense in every way to figure out what this world is about. I thought it would be fun to make sensory balloons to encourage her tactile learning. I only used four balloons […]
Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to create some heart-shaped projects with your little ones. Arts and crafts with toddlers can be a bit messy — but also lots of fun — so my nieces and I started a crafty session. I chose two different little art projects for them to realize. They each made a […]
This weekend my nieces came to visit and brought a real classic with them - perler beads. I used to do that as a kid and remember that I had a phase during which I produced two a day. The girls are 2 and 4 years old and although they are obviously not at the […]
Jenga is a classic game that requires hand-eye coordination and good fine motor skills. The first few rounds are usually easy as you carefully remove a block from the tower and place it on top. But the tension mounts as the game progresses and less stable blocks are available. It all comes together (falls apart?) […]
Fruit is the ideal alternative for sugary junk food snacks. It's fresh and healthy and super yummy. Bananas for example are fruits full vitamins, minerals and fiber and therefore good for everyone - from toddlers to grandparents. But not all kids are happy to have fruit as a snack. Here is how your kids will […]

You could suggest these ideas […]
With Valentine's Day approaching I was looking for a way for our family to celebrate the holiday by remembering what's most important to us, the people we love. Here is our tree in a vase that is growing hearts and pictures of our family in place of flowers. We first gathered sticks from the yard. […]
