8. Picnic

Sunday, July 31, 2011

There are few things as exciting for my girls as going for a picnic. ThJust this past weekend we went to a local park (well, sort of park), and had a little picnic along the (fake) river’s edge. The kids loved it – the food, the drink, the picnic blanket, the grass to run around [...]

7. Dance!

Saturday, July 30, 2011

Dance with your child(ren)! This is an activity that should surely not be done once a year only, not even only once a month, but weekly – daily! Just pick up your youngster and boogie. Exagerate your movements, do funny turns, dip them and twirl them. And sing along! Dance with them and let them [...]

6. Surprise Present

Saturday, July 23, 2011

Okay, okay, this is a bit of a “cheat” as it is not really something either Leia or Miya DOES with me, but it still adds up to an experience, and a special little one at that, so I’m happy to include it under this post category. Buy a “I just love you” gift. Not [...]

5. Movie night

Friday, July 22, 2011

Tonight we made a movie night at home – with popcorn! Played a nice Disney fairy-tale over the projector and imagined ourselves in the theatre. I think I could’ve made it a bit more interesting though by making tickets that Miya could “buy” and present to the be allowed into the “movie theatre” – had [...]

4. Visit a nursery

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Well, of course, with me as a mother, I’m sure there will still be many visits to nurseries and nurseries of all sorts. But today, our little treat was to go visit Yvette in her new nursery – an indigenous nursery. The two little explorers loved walking through the plants, looking at the different growing [...]

3. Finger painting!

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

With a lovely sunny winter’s afternoon, there was just no way we were going to sit inside the house, so I grabbed the little Jolly table and chair from inside and set up a little finger painting station outside in the sun. Miya was already playing in the sandpit and did not seem very interested in my [...]

2. Making Monsters

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

A few things are as igniting to the imagination as a few blank pieces of paper that could become something – especially if that piece of paper has been cut into an interesting shape and told to become a monster. A monster is anything – ANYTHING – that a child’s imagination can conjure up. It can [...]

1. Baking banana muffins

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

We baked banana muffins this morning! I still think baking is one of the best home-schooling resources around. Not only do you mostly end up with something delicious and have fun doing it, but you can help your child learn about measurements and fractions, temperature and time, about chemical reactions and nutrition, about estimation and trial and [...]

0. Introduction

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

I’ve decided that each day I must do ONE (special) THING with my little girls. There are so many great ideas that I’ve gather up to do, but never get a chance to do. But no further excuses. Each day must have one arbitrary fun thing – it could be a craft, some exercise, something [...]
