    Thank you so much for this printable set! This is awesome. I’m homeschooling our children, and my toddlers are so very busy and really want to be included in our school time. I’m trying to put together some quiet bins/independent activities and this will be perfect for my block-building-loving little ones after I take them through it a few times. I really appreciate you sharing your hard work with other moms!! 🙂

    This is very cool! I just printed it out and plan to try it with both my boys this week. I think the little guy (22m) may be able to match the colors and build the towers, but I don’t think he’ll get the counting part.

      Busy bags are a sanity saver during homeschooling! They are used daily in our home to help the younger kids play and learn while I work with our kindergartner.

      Did you say patterns? 🙂 We just so happen to have another Duplo busy bag to share later this month that is designed for working specifically with patterns.

Our snack today is inspired by the audio book the Our snack today is inspired by the audio book the kids and I have been listening to in the van. Ninga Detectives has been playing as we go back and forth to town to do laundry, buy groceries, and run other errands. Then a few days ago, the characters were eating a fancy dinner at a Russian tearoom in New York City and caviar was mentioned.

I remembered I saw some at Grocery Outlet a few weeks ago, so I ran in and picked some up. Add in some simple crackers and cream cheese and this is our morning snack.

We had an amazing scramble through a local river bed last week. (Scroll for more photos and a video of the amazing rock formations.) There were many reminders to "watch your step" and a few times I simply had to look away. As difficult as it is for me to watch them do risky things I know they will never learn how to do new things if they never take risks. We can help them think through problems and plan their steps but in the end they have to risk failing and try.

How do you feel when your kids do risky things? How do you encourage them to try new things? How have you stepped out of your comfort zone recently?
