Spring Fine Motor Skills and STEM Activities
Wednesday, April 10, 2019
I created this fun and engaging activities for my boys who love to tinker and do creative stuff with some of our manipulatives. They would often work on these on weekend mornings during our quiet time or on weeknights before dinner.

Life Cycle of a Frog Learning Activities
Friday, March 29, 2019
Nothing beats hands-on learning, but because we have no access to tadpoles and frogs, we just rely on books, educational toys and create meaningful materials to achieve the "hands-on experience". With the success of our Water Cycle activities, I made a similar learning pack for our frog life cycle. The learning pack is perfect for kids ages 4 to 7 years old, something that will grow with your child through the years. It contains different activities for different stages of learning for the child. All you needed to do is print the one that suits your needs.

Parts of a Frog Learning Materials for Kids
Friday, March 22, 2019
We are learning about frogs and we started our unit by learning about the body parts because Vito wanted to know if they are similar to his (to humans). Again, our Parts of a Frog Learning (ZOOLOGY BUNDLE Pack) came in handy in exploring the body parts of a frog and the activity sheets I included in the pack were really helpful in extending the learning activity for enhancing the retention of concepts.
If you are a homeschooler or a teacher looking for learning materials about frogs, then continue reading this post to learn more about this learning material and the activities that we worked on. The cards are simple and clear and are easy for young learners to use. The activity sheets are provided as I have observed through the years that these materials for tracing, coloring, and making booklets are effective in engaging young learners.
Spring Preschool and Kindergarten Learning Materials
Wednesday, March 20, 2019
Spring starts tomorrow, and I am excited to share our SPRING PRESCHOOL MATH AND LITERACY PACK. These are designed for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and kids ages 3 to 6. The pack contains 30 activities, including movements for improving fine motor skills, colour matching, learning numbers, letters, phonics, and much more!
Check out the previews below for details to give you an idea of what you will get in this learning material.

Montessori Inspired Blue Series - Learning about Consonant Blends
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
With Vito reading CVC words and sight words, we are now moving to the Blue Series. The Blue Series is a Montessori approach in learning consonant blends and digraphs. I made an entire set of blue series materials for Vito to use in the course of his learning. We will work on these materials and move on to the next set as he progresses. In this post, I will give you an overview of the materials and how we are going to use them.
It is important to note that the blue series (blends and digraphs) comes after the pink series. Once the child is familiar with letter sounds and can basically read CVC words (pink series) then he/she can move on to the blue series.

Learning About Sharks for Kids
Tuesday, February 19, 2019
Vito has been really interested in sharks lately. We had some Shark Unit Study (Montessori Inspired Shark Study for Kids) years ago together with my eldest, but Vito was so young then that all he could ever do was do some simple matching activity with our Safari Toob Sharks. Now that he's a bit older, I prepared some simple activities for him to learn more about sharks, what's their difference with whales, and how similar are they to humans.
Asia Continent Study for Kids
Monday, February 11, 2019
We love to travel and going to places, thus geography is very important in our homeschool and I make sure that we do continent and country studies yearly. Now, this is not the first time I introduced Vito to Asia. We've worked with a lot of continent activities before and because he is much older now and able to understand and grasp concepts, I reintroduced Asia once again. Below are some of the works we had for the past 2 weeks we spent on learning about Asia. It took us 2 weeks to finish because he got sick within the time frame so we paused in between.
Here are some of the activities that we included in this year's Asia Study:
Valentine's Day Letter and Number Cards
Friday, February 8, 2019
What I like about homeschooling is being able to make themed materials for my kids that will go along with certain seasons or holidays. Because Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I made these beautiful and cute teddy and heart letter and number cards perfect for home and school settings. We use these types of learning cards in so many ways, and I have listed a few of those activities below for your reference. Enjoy!

Montessori Golden Beads Bank Game
Wednesday, January 30, 2019
Vito currently loves using our Golden Beads material. We are done with presentation of materials and have worked the layout (Montessori Decimal System with Golden Beads) as well (we will do this again) and now he enjoys playing the Bank Game.
Chinese New Year Mini Preschool Unit
Tuesday, January 22, 2019
Are you celebrating Chinese New Year? We are learning about this Chinese national holiday for familiarity and for the boys to understand that some Filipino traditions were adapted from Chinese culture.

Vito and I worked on a brief Chinese New Year Unit last week. The resources we used were from the Chinese New Year Mini Preschool Learning Pack I created for him years ago.

Our Montessori-Inspired Shelf for Winter
Tuesday, January 15, 2019
I’m back after a few weeks of hiatus! I’ve been focusing more in our homeschool that I didn’t have time to write a post about our activities for the past 2 weeks. Anyway, here’s the shelf that I've setup weeks ago and the main theme for this setup is “winter”. This year, we’ll be doing small study units for science and culture but we will work our way thoroughly (taking our time) in reading, writing, and math.

Using the Four Seasons Addition Clipcards
Monday, November 19, 2018
Enjoy the fun in learning addition with this winter-themed addition clipcards. Vito is currently obsessed with adding numbers so I made these seasons addition clipcards for him to work with to help enrich his skills in addition. These are so easy to prepare and use. Below are the recommended manipulatives that you can use with the cards for a hands-on approach in learning addition.

Christmas is just around the corner, and I am so excited to share what’s within our preschool unit in this happiest and most colorful time of the year! These activities are perfect for home and school settings. They are designed for preschoolers and kindergartens specifically for kids ages 3 to 6 years old.
Thanksgiving Pattern Blocks Spin and Build
Sunday, November 11, 2018
Here’s an activity that Vito and I enjoyed playing together lately. It is an extension work for our Thanksgiving Preschool Unit where we integrate math (shapes) to Thanksgiving symbols and icons. We call this activity Spin and Build because we spin the spinner for the shapes we will be using to form the puzzle.

Fun Thermometer Reading in Space
Thursday, November 1, 2018
Vito loved our penguin thermometer reading activity , and because of this, I have to include something similar in our Outerspace Preschool Mini Unit. This is great for learning how to recognize “tens” and how to read a thermometer.

Seasonal Pattern Blocks Mats (with FREE Download)
Friday, October 19, 2018
I am so excited to share the latest craze in our house lately, the pattern block mats! I made these printable materials because my boys are totally obsessed with making “pictures” and objects using our pattern blocks (bought from Amazon). We own this and the magnetic version since Vito was a baby but the boys’ needs keep growing and I decided to provide them with picture mats so they can create not just plain pattern block objects but objects that integrate in beautiful backgrounds for a more imaginative play. The best thing about this printable is that we can print and reuse them over and over again!
