Happy Easter from our family to yours! 🐰🐣🤍
For an Easter craft that caters to all ages in our house, we made Easter eggs with electrical tape and paints! When we took off the electrical tape once the paint was dry….voilà! Simple as that!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

French Words of the Week
My daughter started in Grade 1 French Immersion this year and she’s loving it! Each week they get a set of words to practice. Today we decided to use our Lego Duplo blocks to enrich our learning.
Words on her list this week:
• Petit (small)
• Grand (big)
• Dit (says)
• Le (the)
• a (has)
Then we tried using them in a sentence!

Rip Art 🌺
We didn’t have time to do a Remembrance Day activity this week since the kids were at school and I was working so we took this morning to do some rip art and talk about the importance of Nov. 11.
To make this poppy, we used:
• construction paper
• glue
That’s it! Simple yet profound.

Chlo Zo Bow Company] made us some lovely poppies to proudly wear in honour of the men and women who fought for the freedom we are so lucky to relish in today!
A portion of the proceeds go to the Cambridge Legion. They’re beautiful….thank you, Chlo Zo Bow Company] 🥰

Spider Webs 🕸🕷
When your kids were up way too late last night and you just want a simple activity to preoccupy them and keep the peace!
All in the name of HOT ☕️☕️☕️☕️
To set it up, I used cardstock, paper, and a sharpie. I googled how to draw a spider web and then set out some Halloween stickers. Then watch them make it their own! 👌🏼
*Hot tip: peel the backing off of the stickers so little fingers can peel them off easier.

Pumpkin decorating! 🎃
This simple activity took 2 minutes to set up. All in the name of enjoying a hot ☕️!!!!
I used cardstock paper, a sharpie to draw the pumpkin, and set out Halloween stickers from to let their creative juices flow! It’s fun for all ages and you can see in the pictures the way each child made it their own!
*Hot tip* peeling the backing off of the stickers helps for little fingers to get the stickers off the page.
