Learning about States & Territories of Australia
Australia Day is approaching and so I thought I’d take the opportunity to share a fun (and edible) way of learning the Australian states and territories. Great mapping lesson for kids! I was never very good at geography at school. It’s still something that I know I should be better at, however, I’m sure if […]
Most popular posts from 2013
It’s hard to believe that another year is drawing to a close and 2014 is steam rolling around so quickly. Where does the time go? Possum is another year older and certainly much wiser and I take the time to reflect on what has been a terrific year of learning together on Laughing Kids […]
How to make a healthy watermelon cake
It was roughly about this time last year that my husband and I discovered that little Possum was severely allergic to egg, she is anaphylactic to be exact.

Painting with Golf Balls
I love using an object, such as a golf ball, that seems so far from being involved in paint and simply throwing caution to the wind and just seeing what happens. Children absolutely love this approach too because it’s experimentation! YOU WILL NEED Paper Long and empty cracker box Paint Golf […]
Shredded Paper for Sensory Play
I love it when common materials become these engaging play activities for children. This was the case when I received a delivery that was full of shredded paper! Normally I would have tossed it into the trash, however, without a thought Possum was instantly attracted to all these amazing white strands and quickly […]
