Here are our 9 activity trays this winter season, where in some days, Vito can finish 3 activities in a day while in some, almost none. These ideas are good for about 2-3 weeks of learning. Vito would also work on some non-polar activities in between, mostly practising reading with pink series, playing with our Grimm’s blocks, Legos, and just about anything he wants to do. There are also spontaneous activities that come in between, mostly a product of discussion and as book extensions. I mostly share these in my Instagram account, but if it’s post-worthy, you’ll be able to read it in the blog as well.
Penguin Themed Matching Clocks to Time
Friday, January 5, 2018
One of the things I love to do is putting some twist on our activities to keep them more engaging and fun for Vito. Last month, he began reading the time, with Mavi modelling the reading. Every morning he would wake me up and say “Mom, it’s 8 o’clock” and when I checked it is indeed 8 in the morning! He finally figured out how to read the clock with the small hand pointing to a number and the longer hand on the 12. So I grabbed the opportunity to practise clock reading with this penguin clock and time matching printable. I used this activity with Mavi 5 years ago and now Vito is loving it as well!
Animals of Antarctica Printable with Safari Toob Antarctica Set
Tuesday, January 2, 2018
Have you seen Safari Toob Antarctic toob yet? To me, it’s one of the best toob they ever had! I mean, aside from penguins, can you name other animals that live in Antarctica? Quite difficult right? That’s why we are so happy that Safari Ltd finally came up with these figures so we can introduce our kids to other animals thriving in Antarctica other than penguins! So if you have kids or students who love animals and learning about places, Safari Antarctica Toob is one good learning toy you can invest in.

Happy New Year everyone! I Can’t believe that we’re celebrating New Year once again. It’s not so long ago when I was just starting to present some of our January activities, and here I am again, packing up remnants of our Christmas holiday decors and turning our sitting room into a homeschool room again.
First of all, I wanted to thank you all for reading and spending time in our blog. Thank you all for the kind words, for leaving messages that you have been inspired and that you enjoy our activities, I truly appreciate that. I wish for this coming year to come up with more great ideas so you and your kids can learn together, connect through fun activities and most of all help them in their learning needs. Speaking of which, I also plan to do more of elementary posts. I still do “afterschool” activities with Mavi about arts and crafts or extension lessons on subjects that he wanted to explore more.
Anyway, to start the year, I want to share the TOP 10 reader’s favourites of 2017 (not in order). Enjoy!
