Image Credit When we think about education, we often think much more about our children than we do ourselves - but with the trend of online learning sweeping through every nation, it’s never been easier to learn from home in a way that’s convenient to both stay at home and working mom’s.

School will be closing for summer soon if it hasn’t already for you, and that means we have so many weeks ahead where we need to keep the kids occupied. This can be a huge task, especially for moms that are at home. You are the referee, you are the person providing the snacks and meals , as well as trying to keep the house in order and yourself sane. So I thought it was an ideal time to share with you some of the things you could do to keep your children occupied over the summer. Image source

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.
