As you all know, we love doing animal studies at home because Mavi looooovess learning about them!! And my little Vito is now obsessed with dogs and spiders! Yes! spiders! So I’m thinking of having an animal study soon, and I now know where to get inspiration!

Life Cycle Art from Minnie Monets and Mommies
Alligator Printable Pack from Mommyhood in Holland

This week on The Pinay Homeschooler, I am going to feature our insect studies for the past years. Mavi loves everything about insects. it is also important that kids understand how to differentiate insects from other creepy crawlers. Remember, not everything that crawls are insects! Like spiders, worms and centipedes… they belong to different groups!

I’m starting to introduce Vito to art works by doing craft works once a week. Of course he cannot do complicated things yet. So at times, with the help of big brother, we’re able to accomplish beautiful things!
But that I’d like to feature a few wonderful post from our link up last week. These are simple and easy to do activities (just like what we do) with little kids. I hope you check them out!
Felt Ladybug Craft and Counting Activity and Flower Felt Craft from Living Life and Learning
Hands-on Learning: Patterns with Candy Land! from 3 Dinosaurs
Thumbprint Keepsake Keychain from Living Montessori
Monoprinted Mother’s Day Card from Sparkling Buds
This week on The Pinay Homeschooler, Vito had a lot of fun doing crafts! Yes, even if he is only 18 months, I exposed him to glues, papers, pens, paints, crayons and more. Here is Vito being artistic for letter b crafts
This is the letter b for butterfly. Even if we don’t see butterflies that much, Vito is fascinated with them. The wings are made up of Vito’s hands by the way, the one who assisted in creating this is no other than the big brother.
Mavi cutting and decorating the wings while Vito watches.

Don’t you just love spring? The colors of the flowers brighten up my day. The beauty of the cherry blossoms never ceases to give me a smile. Reason why, in this week’s link up, I will talk about the things colors and the things that you can do with it, to see a mood.
Check out some of these fun activities from our previous link up that features the use of colors!
Featured posts for Playing with Colors this week:
Flower Water Tube Stamping by Montessori on Mars. Wonderful activity for creating beautiful materials through color mixing using stamps!
Montessori-Inspired Color Activities for Toddlers from Living Montessori Now. A great way to introduce young children to colors.
Learning About Seasons from Planting Peas. You will see how they use color variations to set the seasons. Amazing!
Under the Sea Preschool Activities from Natural Beach Living. I love the use of blue water beads to setup an ocean senosrial tub! The use of colors can definitely simulate a habitat!
Art Appreciation Activities from Every Start is Different. A compilation of art activities for kids!
This week on The Pinay Homeschooler, we create warm and cool colours! Mavi mentioned something like “It’s making summer and winter Mom.”
We are doing a lot of artworks at home. Just the other day, we were looking at the masterpieces of famous artists like Monet and Van Gogh. We talked about the techniques the artists used and how they set the mood of their paintings. In particular, we talked about the colours they used during the daytime and night time. In effect, we ended up talking about warm and cool colours which eventually brought us to this activity.
So Mavi and I practiced mixing paints to create our own warm and cool colours. He was even more excited that we get to name our own colours!
Warm colours are colours of fire and sun, yellow and colour tones of red and orange. Can you see the names of his colours? Yellow Golden Sun of Heavens and Lobster Bloody Red!
Cool colours are those of water, violet and colour tones of blue and green. Love how he created his names: Gods Light and Coral Sea Blue.
This is a simple activity that you can do with your kids anytime of the day! Less preparation but with much to learn. Now with this knowledge, we can create paintings with proper mood settings!
By the way, about the coloured tempera paints we are using. The brand is Gouache Liquide Tempera Paints. I am very particular with the paints we use at home because Mavi has asthma. This brand has negligible smell and I love how strong and vivid the colours are.
So start making you colours now and have fun naming them!
