Spider EggI have been busy with projects to add up to my toddler's learning wall. With all the mom duties, I have to do other chores so I needed to come and go from the room. When it's just about time to finish my latest craft, I am surprised to see my eldest doing his own craft and taking pictures of it so I could post it here. This is simple but worth sharing.

Kids' Award MedalsDo you have little kids at home that you are now homeschooling as well?

Making a Flower CrownIn our household, we like to save cardboard boxes for craft projects or arts and crafts.
Wood Craft Magnetic SticksMy toddler enjoys being nearby when I'm in the kitchen. She likes to play with some magnets that we have on our fridge. I thought it would be fun to make assorted wooden craft stick magnets.
