Toddler School - Week 10 - More Color

Baby Jay is doing so well with Toddler School. It's really about fun learning that we do together. She loves to be read to and played with. One issue that we have sometimes is that she wants my full attention when I have to do other things like cook or wash dishes. I try to include her in everything I do, but she isn't always interested in my activity. When I read about Busy Bags, the light bulb went off. That would be perfect! I went to Pinterest, of course, and found a bunch of ideas that I want to try. You can check out my Toddler School Pinterest board here. The first busy bag activity that I made is a Pipe Cleaner Can. Baby Jay found it fascinating. She played for 20 minutes!

Children's Ministry - Creation Day 2



A few months ago, my family and I really stepped out in faith. God called us to start a church! Since we are new and still small, the only children are my two youngest daughters, but I think they still need Sunday School and Children's Church. This week's lesson was on Creation - Day 2. I found some wonderful resources to help me teach the girls.

Library Story Time - The Mitten

I work part-time at our local Library as a Children's Librarian. One of my most favorite responsibilities is our weekly Story Time. Each week we have a different theme. We try to base our books, craft, and snacks on the theme. Some times it's easier than others.


This week's theme was based on the book The Mitten by Jan Brett.

Toddler School - Week 7 - Blue

I am SO amazed with Baby Jay! Most everyone thinks their babies are the smartest and most special babies in the world. (I am no exception!) I'm going to brag on her for just a minute. While thinking about themes for Toddler School, I decided it would be good to start spending time on each color. Toddler School Week 4 was about introducing colors. You can read that post here. The first color I chose to go more in depth with was blue. Baby Jay began to recognize and name it after only one day!!!
