January brings cold weather and a lot of days stuck indoors. However, it presents a perfect time to really break in all of those new Christmas toys that are begging to be played with. Everett got a new camping set from Darst for Christmas and it sparked a need for a campout with the cousins to properly break in these new gadgets. All it took was a few pieces of wood, some flannel material and recycled Halloween/Christmas lights to create the bones for this indoor campsite. The kids could hardly contain their excitement as the finished campsite was revealed to them in my sisters upstairs playroom. But lets face it, even I would be stoked to go to a party in my jammies and eat smore's without the fear of frostbite;) The McGee playroom was transformed into an indoor campsite. The playroom's chalkboard wall was transformed into the woods at night and the sky was bright with stars (Christmas lights) and the moon (a chinese lantern filled with lights). Each cousin got their own tent or TeePee. They had great fun checking out what was in their special space. Who can resist chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers? Not this chipmunk. Just sittin' around the campfire. The faux fire was made by placing orange Halloween lights under some yellow, orange and red tissue paper. I couldn't convince Everett that it wasn't hot. He knows a good fire when he sees one. The kids really loved these tents. They were easy to construct and you can use any material you choose. We used flannel and some sewn together handkerchiefs. Ava in her pigtails and long underwear. Everett and Luke trying to make hot cocoa. Getting ready to toast up some marshmallows. Making some warm cocoa and fryin' up some viddles! You never know what kind of critters will show up. It was handy the kids had a bug barn and a magnifying glass Everett liked to call 'the mystery'. The true test of any camper is to see how long they can bond with nature. Three little bedbugs. Luke snuggles into his old teepee I made him several years ago for his birthday. Happy camping to all and to all a good night.
My family is made up of very competitive bananagrams players. Probably too competitive. But we love it. We love the challenge. We love the brain test. We love the adrenaline when someone yells PEEL fourteen times in a row. So last christmas, my brother Rob had the best gift idea for my mom. He made BIG BANANAGRAMS. Each tile is now 12"x12". Of course my brother bit off more than he could chew, so he didn't finish painting all of the letters for Christmas. What better time to finish this amazing gift? Mother's day. Almost 6 months later. But we are all so glad he finished. This has been one of the best ways to spend an afternoon. Here we are in my mom's backyard. Now, you still get the mental challenge from the original game, with the added bonus of some exercise! And the best part? You don't even realize you are exercising. Well, until the game is over and you are covered in sweat. 'ivy' by the ivy Next, we are taking them to the beach! ::::::::::::::::::: Update: This post has gone completely viral on pinterest and I'm so happy that you have clicked through. I hope you'll stick around! When I originally wrote this post, I didn't include a tutorial. So many people have asked in the comments about how we did this, and I have been answering them, but I thought it might also be helpful to put that info here, too! My brother cut 144 'tiles' from a big sheet of masonite. This material is very durable, doesn't bend and it can hold up to different elements. For those who want to make their own, we recommend luan because it's lighterweight. We love what we have, but if we knew then what we know now, we would have made them with luan. It really makes a difference when you are carrying those tiles to and from. We have ours in a wooden crate and don't move them all that much- probably because they are heavy! Rob cut the masonite into 12 inch squares with a table saw. Then he hand painted the letters. We are a family of artists so it was easiest for my brother to just paint them himself, but if you don't have a steady hand or good handwriting, there are other options. Several people have left me comments saying that they used vinyl stickers or cut letters out with their cricut. Here's the breakdown of how many tiles you will need for each letter. 2: J, K, Q, X, Z 3: B, C, F, H, M, P, V, W, Y 4: G 5: L 6: D, S, U 8: N 9: T, R 11: O 12: I 13: A 18: E Also, we use our tiles for bananagrams because it's fast and exciting, but you could definitely use these for scrabble or even boggle! Again, thank you to everyone who has visited my blog and those who have left comments! They really do make my day. I hope y'all will continue to follow along!

We love using sensory bins in the preschool classroom! International Talk Like A Pirate Day is September 19th and, if you're entertaining the idea of adding a few pirate themed activities to your lesson or even planning a pirate unit for later in the school year, you don't want to miss out on these fabulous pirate themed sensory bins! Both bins offer something a little different - the first more of a 'digging for treasure' theme and the second playing a bit more to traditional pirate colors, etc. - but either would be great for your kiddos to explore! {Digging for Treasure Sensory Bin from The Fickle Pickle} {Pirate Sensory Bin from Counting Coconuts} Be sure to visit the full posts to see what elements these ladies used to create such a memorable pirate themed sensory experience!
