It was freezing cold here and my kids have been stuck indoors for three days. For an active six year old and silly willy four year old this is not easy. Kids got to run and play in the fresh air. Staying indoors makes us all a bit stir crazy. But I’m determined to make the best of these…
Just talking about letters or doing flash cards can get pretty boring to a four year old. Not that there is anything wrong with flash cards. We use them. But we do more at the Brown House for Home School!!! I have a very favorite site that I love to go to for ideas. I add my own…
Lots of material, glue, and no instructions. What will you do? You are on your own and you can only use the material on this table to create. Maybe overwhelming at first. But give it some time and find that there is no stopping. That’s an Artists Heart! I wish I could live in this…

It has 12 healthy, No- Cook Recipes by Pamela Chanko. This flip chart gives step by step directions with pictures. It’s a great tool to help young learners…
My mom was a preschool teacher and when I was eight years old I went to help her. I grew up going with my mom and I learned to be a teacher. We had great times. I remember my mom playing this really fun game. She would take the kids outside and go under a…
A walk through the leaves with my kids reminds me of an art project that we did a year ago. We gathered leaves in a bag and placed them creatively on contact paper. We first taped the sticky side up onto the table. When we were done decorating it with the leaves we found, we…
THE VERY BUSY SPIDER BY ERIC CARL I’m passionate about reading children’s books to my kids. I read out loud to inspire Justin and Kaylee to be readers. I believe that it’s my responsibility as a parent to help them be passionate too. Parents we enrich our children’s lives by reading topics that are of interest…
