my little corner of organized crafty chaos
I wanted to find a way to help make the newborn haze a little simpler, enter my big sibling busy basket! Full of ideas to help your big kid feel special and loved, and to keep their big hands busy while you are busy with little hands!
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!
With our Planet Earth Unit Study, we touched on a little of a lot of the earth sciences! Weather, rocks, water cycle, biomes, and continents were all just the surface level of all the things we talked about!
Over the years while our family routine is constantly shifting and altering as the season of life changes I have found that we tend to stick to a basic routine that honestly doesn’t change all that much! I guess if it’s working for us why change it?!
The human body is fascinating and preschoolers are super curious about the world around them so this is a great unit study to really spark their interest in themselves! Our books about the human body covered the different systems of the body from bones to blood to brains and so much more!
With so much to cover we had to pick and choose for our Human Body Unit Study. I could have spent ages covering everything and still felt like we had to leave stuff out. You can be sure we will be revisiting the human body again!
I have two widely active kids running around my living room every day all day, it just makes more sense to have a living room playroom that suits all our needs!
