Sight Word Scavenger Hunt

Sight Word Scavenger Hunt

We are at the very exciting stage with The Boy of beginning to learn to read.  His letter recognition is now pretty good so we are just starting to practice some simple words. To help him with this today we decided to make our normal walk into town a bit of a game inspired by this treasure hunt over at Me and My Shadow. I printed out some simple words, things we could easily spot, and then laminated the sheet so that it will wipe clean.  I then punched two holes in the bottom and threaded some ribbon so that it can hang easily around his neck.   Then, armed with ...

Cooking With Your Toddler: Tasty Tuna Fishcakes

As W is getting bigger he is enjoying helping out in the kitchen more and more and is becoming more confident the more we make things together.

Teach Your Toddler Numbers With Beads and Pipe-Cleaners

It was so quick to set up and there are hardly any supplies required. The Imagination Tree is chock-a-block full of great play-based learning posts so if you are ever stuck for inspiration I strongly advise you to pay this blog a visit. For this activity this was all we needed: Five small pieces of card, folded. Five different coloured ...

Colour Matching for Toddlers

Colour Matching for Toddlers

W is now pretty happy identifying most colours and one of the games which I found helped with this is as simple as can be. He just loves to play with OXO cubes! Once he has finished eating I will often grab the boxes from the cupboard, red, yellow and green, and place them in front of him. We will then tip them all out, his favourite part... ...and I will encourage him to put them back into the right coloured box. He is quite happy to to do this over and over, tipping them out, and re-sorting into appropriate boxes... ...even building towers with them. This also allows me time ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
