Crafty Curriculum

Something I am trying out this year.
My work keeps me busy, there is always something to do while teaching my kiddo and running my own business but I want my kiddo to know that Jesus, her, and her daddy matter. Showing her that people and relationships matter more.

Now that doesn't mean I put my dreams on hold or only run this business half as good. I have decided to just adjust and wake up early to work out and work first. When I wake up early I am able to focus on playtime rather than thinking about all the things I have to do that day. This helps me so much and I am def not perfect I do love to sleep in but I am really trying to grow and raise and teach my kiddo too.

Fine motor skills are important but so is developing the gross motor skills.
During the winter can seem harder to work those gross motor skills so we have compiled a list of ideas to do at home! These fun games are just what your kiddo needs to learn, play, and develop.

Check them out on our blog by using the link in our bio!

Outside of our toddler learning packs we also need these things to play and learn

- a trip up the mountains so much to learn and explore up here!
- easy sensory bins and sensory tools
- non fixed toys where we have to use our imagination and creativity
- books books and more books

What would you add to this list?

Do you incorporate science with your littles?
We love science experiements to spark curiosity and wonder.

For this we mixed baking soda, water, and food coloring in ice cube trays and froze them overnight. Then we took different bottles of warm water, vinegar, cold water, and juice to see which one created a chemical reaction.

This lets kiddos predict and investigate on their own, which really helps spark their curiosity. Try this out and let us know how it goes!

I have decided 2022 is Nicole's year of GROWTH. Growing spiritually, personal growth, business growth, and so much more. I always like to focus on one word to remind myself of my overall goal for the year.
