I love hunting for the best ones, the ones that include all sorts of different skills and crafts, and I enjoy supporting work-at-home mamas as {Read More}

My boys are very curious about learning and I love that they enjoy learning as much as playing! This cute magnetic letters set is from Melissa & Doug and I just ordered it from Amazon last week. While they can play with the letters just on the table, I like to give them a cookie sheet so they can stick them on and practice making words. I also like to work with them both, asking them about a specific letter {Read More}

Here are a few pictures of the pouring rice activities. He transferred rice from one container to the {Read More}
