From the moment my daughter started preschool, she absolutely loved it, and with each passing week, I was amazed at how much she continued to develop. Her language exploded, she (mostly) followed directions, she became more confident, and she developed so many fantastic new skills.
But it wasn’t all roses and sunshine, and she absolutely REFUSED to participate in arts and crafts, and while this didn’t bother me for the first few months (I was just so happy she was enjoying preschool!), I soon realized we were going to have major issues with Kindergarten if we didn’t try to figure things out.
So I started to replicate a lot of the arts and crafts she did at preschool into our afternoons at home in an effort to make her more comfortable and confident with the idea of cutting and gluing and sticking and painting. And guess what? My fridge is now COVERED in artwork!

My only challenge is coming up with new and exciting projects for us to do together, so I’m forever searching for new ideas on Pinterest, and recently stumbled upon a couple of adorable toilet paper roll crafts for kids that were so much fun.
I also recently purchased 3 great kids activities books that are loaded with boredom busters for kids.
