Underwater Sea Animals Activity

Today we did an Activity based on one of our favorite books “The Pout-Pout Fish” by Deborah Diesen. We have been reading this book since my Son was born, and I remember when the Pouty fish would go blub,blub,blub my son would just keep giggling, he used to find that so funny! Now he is four but we still read that book. So let’s jump into the activity.

It was difficult for all of us, but mostly for the kids, who don’t fully fathom what exactly is happening.

Here is a list of activities that we are doing to keep ourselves entertained…

Yesterday was a busy day for me. Had a bunch of things to finish. Even when my son came back from school I wasn’t done. My husband was not back from work, my son’s dinner was not ready, oh what a mess! I asked my son, would you like to watch some TV while I finish making your dinner? And he said no, can we do some activity instead? What? did I hear that right? Yes, I did. Okay, even today morning…

Super Hero Wand Magnets

With halloween slowly approaching closer, I was thinking about what character to dress up as this time. I have always loved celebrating Halloween & now it is even more special as my son’s birthday is on Halloween! He knows he wants to dress up as “Cat Boy” from PJ masks, however I am still unsure. So today’s hands on activity is a bit about halloween and a bit about magnets.

I have a huge…
