Michaels Gift Card Giveaway

What are your favourite arts, crafts and activities to do with your children? What arts and crafts can your children do independently? In my opinion, it is important to provide your children with a mix of activities including ones that they can do independently and ones that require adult assistance. It is fun to do arts and crafts with your children, but it is also important for children to learn the skill of independence in order to gain confidence in their own creative skills. Have you ever heard of the debate between process versus product? Back when I was in … Continue reading →

Sometimes, they run out of ideas and ask me for one and often this occurs at a time when I might not have an activity ready and at my finger tips. This is where Artsy Play Wednesday comes into play for me. I can look back at … Continue reading →

Kids like down time too! In our house, we call it quiet time. Sometimes the kids have a nap and sometimes they play quietly in their … Continue reading →
