If your little one is anything like mine, they love toy cars! But did you know that you can use their favourite toy vehicle as an educational activity as well? Try out some of my ideas below. Firstly a bit about toy vehicles. Your child may already have their own favourites, there are lots of brands and franchises out there. If they don't, consider the classics like police cars, fire engines and buses. Other good options include accurate replicas like dinky trucks and build your own kits available from Lego. Whichever one you pick, make sure that they are suitable for your child’s age.

Easter Egg projects are one of my kids’ fave to do. Last year, they painted Easter eggs, but this year I decided to make it different. As much as my kids enjoy painting eggs, trying out something new boosts creativity and encourages learning. Preparation as well as the entire project is easy.

More than the essence of the celebration, Easter has always been exciting to kids. I can't explain but there is really something in painted eggs that makes them happy. For Easter, I came up a simple activity for my toddler.  Preparation: I googled for images and printed them out on a sheet of bond paper and cut them out. Second, I also cut a crack to half each of the eggs then pasted the half of each on a clean white paper.

Storytelling is one of our favorite bonding moments with kids every night before bed or even during siesta. The kids enjoy it so much, that they always remind me of what story to tell even we already gone through all on each their storybooks thousand times! Most of their books are worn out already sign of overuse. So I went again to bookstore last week yet they don’t have new story books available, yeah not lucky enough. I really wanted a new set of story books to share to my kids so I tried to search online for ebooks. I don’t know why that came out as an idea, also that was my first time to search for kids story ebook since I find it boring for them if the stories wouldn’t have colorful pictures per page, too.

Weekend art activity is something my two sons look forward to each week. A colored paper collage is what we have agreed to do this time. Another quick and easy art activity which requires minimal equipment and materials.  Materials needed: A pair of scissor Colored papers in different colors White bond paper Glue or paste

Whenever I say ' it's painting time ', my toddler gets giddy all the time. It's obviously one of his favorite activities. I let my toddler play his paints independently. He picks the color he likes, that's how I learned he loves blue, violet and green.

As children get older, it can get more difficult to find the time and resources to let our kids’ imagination run wild through their creativity. You might feel that schools are spending more time on coding and not enough on arts and crafts these days. If you feel you have a budding artist in the making, here are some great ways to let them explore that side of their character at home:

Happy Easter everyone! My son is not feeling well so were not able to go out and watch 'Salubong', but it's okay. Despite of his cough and colds, he still managed to draw something for Easter.

(Photo source ) School is out for the weekend. But what should you do with the little ones? It’s time to come up with some fun and creative ways to keep your little monsters entertained for the next couple of days. Of course, there is weekend homework to do, but it is still important to plan fun activities for the rest of the weekend. Otherwise, your child may end up plopping in front of the television or computer screen and staying there all weekend .

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and one of the fun and easiest project for kids to do is Valentines card. Here is one of the Valentines card my kids made yesterday. I am not sure who the recipient of this card is gonna be but this looks so cute to receive. I like to see my kids doing art projects because this is how I see the creativity each of them conveys. This time, my toddler was not able to join his elder brother because he is not feeling well.

Puzzles - one best way to introduce learning to a child. I remember my childhood days, I love puzzles because it helps set goals to accomplish. I felt like I was the happiest lil girl on earth whenever I finish puzzles. Today, I am sharing one of my favorite activity to give my son which encourages learning, Popscicle Stick Puzzle.

   Last month, I published a post that my son is going to take the K5 learning program . My son was so excited that he started to try the program right away.  Since it requires him to use the computer, I allow him to use my desktop two hours everyday. While taking the lessons, he is very serious in reading and at answering each  questions at the end of each lessons. I have noticed, he likes the spelling so much.
