My cute little Norah has been working so hard on learning how to write all of her letters. Sometimes we like to use sugar to practice our letters in.
She loves to draw her letters in the sugar, and it is something new instead of the usual paper and pencil.
Head on over to my post over on Hellobee for the full step by step instructions on how to make your own montessori sugar writing tray.

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and I wanted to share with you a fun little necklace my kids and I made! It is perfect to help learn those fine motor skills, and the chocolate gold coin is the perfect prize at the end of our rainbow necklace!
Be sure to head on over to Hellobee to see the step by step tutorial on how to make a Lucky Rainbow Necklace!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

I think at one time or another, we’ve all had it done to us. You’re little one has gotten a hold of your wallet, and the next thing you know, the contents are emptied out all over the floor. I know my older toddler loves to play pretend and be, “just like mommy!” with a wallet at all!
You’ll need:
Fill the wallet with just about anything you think would be fun for your kids! Hopefully it will keep them busy for a night out at a restaurant as a family when they are having a hard time sitting still.
Surprise your children with a busy wallet full of things they usually get told, “no” for touching.
Nothing like a few moments of silence while going out to eat, or getting the bathroom cleaned! This should keep them entertained for a little while they fill and re-fill the wallet, and play with its contents!
