my little corner of organized crafty chaos
Sandpaper letter games have made flashcard games a sensory impression and have provided lots of practice and repetition while still having fun! I spent ages finding games that my homeschooled preschooler and I actually wanted to play and I am going to share that list with you today!
Sound games have provided lots of practice and repetition with phonemic awareness without it feeling like a chore for my primary homeschool kids! I spent ages researching and learning how to use these games and I want to simplify that process for you!
Loose parts storage is going to be different for everyone because everyone’s loose parts collection is going to be different. Learn all my tips and tricks so you can apply them to your loose parts storage!
I love loose parts. and I love lists. It was only a matter of time before I combined everything into a loose parts list! I’ve been collecting for years and now have a lot of the basics stashed away for play and learning. That being said I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a new treasure to add to my loose parts lists. In case you are like me, I have compiled a loose parts list for all the best finds…and the list will continue to grow as I find more!

Books are quite possibly my favorite resource for teaching kids about the world around them and welcoming a new baby to the family is no different! We have found a bunch of big sister books that cover everything from pregnancy to what it’s going to be like to have a tiny baby in the house to what becoming a big sister will actually look like.
I am a Type A kinda lady, but also a bit of a collector…so organization is kinda a big deal for me. Our toy storage for our out or rotation toys is one area of my life that has had to evolve over time, but I definitely have a few items that are my tried and true tools for keeping our toy storage organized!
We loved learning from our Planet Earth Books during our unit study and there were so many different topics to dive into, covering topics like; Weather, the water cycle, and the rock cycle. the layers of the earth, geographic features, the natural wonders to biomes, and different habitats! The Earth is such a massive topic that we could have studied it for weeks longer than we did!
