We are on the tail end of yet another cold (it’s been like 6 weeks of constant colds with just a few healthy days thrown in there. So of course I’m all out of fun ideas for what to do when we are stuck at home and inside. It’s just lovely California weather so it really sucks to be inside

One of the things that made it into their stockings for Christmas was Crayola Washable Window Crayons. I thought they sounded like such a fun way to spend a rainy or sick day indoors. What a great idea! Color the windows! It’s an upright surface so of course it’s genius. Yeah, I’m not the biggest fan. Sure it’s great for

We heard this song at our local library storytime. I tried finding the original source, but alas it may just be one of those kiddo songs that has so many variations that there is no source.

The chairs were 12.99 each and the table was 24.99. We bought another table and I think we will go back and get a few more chairs

I’m trying something new out this week: Busy stations! This could be the teacher in me, but I love independent play/ discovery time. I love for them to not need me for a bit and to be quiet and engaged and learning. I also like to cook dinner without someone asking to be “UP”. Busy stations are my proposed solution

However it is also great for the kiddos too. I found some really awesome free kindle apps that they really enjoy. One of which is the Playtales

Every Monday I pull out our Thomas the Train set. They adore Thomas, but as most toddlers they also LOVE trains. I keep it to a once a week toy so that I don’t have to pick up all the pieces every day and also so that they have a chance to really enjoy and explore the toy since it’s
