Mother's Day Card

DIY Flower Vegetables | Curiosity Box Kids

Why not, on your next rainy day stuck inside, make this healthy and easy recipe. This recipe may need more adult supervision than usual. You will need to use knives to cut up the vegetables (use a butter knife as a safer alternative). I used carrots and spinach to make my flowers, So grab the kids and let's get started!

DIY Flower Yarn Craft

It's spring time! I'm definitely enjoying the warm sunny weather out. One of the many great things about Springtime is the flowers. So many flowers start to bloom in Spring time. Different colours, sizes and kinds. My favourite flower is tulips, they smell so good and they come in so many different colours! Today we'regoing to make tulips made out of yarn. This is a fun and simple craft that the kids can help make. You can use any colour of yarn you want to make your own unique flower. Since my favourite flower is a tulip, that's the flower I made. Feel free to choose your own flower to make out of yarn. So grab the kids and let’s get started!

New Year's Resolutions for Kids

Give to Get

Are your wish lists made? Do your kids know what they want for Christmas? My guess is that they’ve already got these awesome dreams flying through their heads about the wonderful gifts that they will be receiving this year. I mean, honestly, we all LOVE to get gifts. It shows us in a very tangible and real way that people are thinking of us. Even if it is just a small handmade gift, sometimes those are truly the best gifts.

The Season of Generosity (and gingerbread)

It’s December! A time that we spend together with friends and family. A time that we spend rushing around, attending Christmas parties and programs, braving the holiday shopping crowds, and a time that is focused on what WE want. But December is also a time that we can slow down and think for a minute, think about those who maybe need a little pick-me up (retail workers who deal with upset or frustrated clients), or those who have less than we do.

Unique Family Recipes

But one thing that I love about families is that everyone has their own unique family recipes that get passed down from generation to generation or that you happen to find and everyone absolutely loves. In my family growing up it was a Dutch dish called “bourenkoel” (forgive me if I’m spelling that wrong because I’m spelling phonetically) and Oma’s meatball soup.

Dear Soldier

Moldilocks and the 3 Scares

Fall Time Colouring

Thanksgiving In Canada- Turtle Apple Pops

I mean there are so many fun things to do around your home to decorate (just think about all those amazing colours outside – how can you bring those into your home?), ways that you can help others who may be in greater need like donating to a local food bank or bringing a homeless individual some food, and tons of delicious treats you can make and eat. So today, I wanted to share a fun recipe that I am making for my family – Turtle Apple Pops.

Terry Fox Marathon of Hope

I decided to share with you a scavenger hunt for you to complete as a family. This probably won’t take you 40 minutes, but I still hope that it encourages some great family time together. What I suggest is getting bundled up and going out for a walk somewhere in your neighbourhood or town, and try to find as many items on the list as you can.

Create a Bug Catcher

As I think back to recess times at school, this was also a favourite activity that held the attention of many children, especially after a rainfall. Apparently it is great to watch your teacher squirm when you show them the longest worm that you could find.

So here’s my challenge to you this weekend, hopefully, before the bugs all disappear for the season.

Celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day!

There is nothing more exciting for a child than dressing up and getting to pretend to be someone that they’re not. This is typically referred to as imaginative play or dramatic play. Dramatic Play has existed since I can remember, in fact I can remember playing like this when I was young, except now we have begun to put a focus on it, especially at home and in the kindergarten classrooms.

Our Top Healthy School Lunch Ideas

One thing that I know hasn't changed is the need for students to eat healthy lunches. Not only do they help replenish the needed energy for students, but good food helps to keep brains learning. Healthy food helps you learn, play and grow is what I always tell my students, especially during my nutrition unit. So this week I thought I would focus on some ideas to help build healthy lunches.

How to Make Back to School Shopping Fun!

If you haven’t started back already, you’ve probably got the list of school supplies that you need to get for your child’s return to school. Realistically though, not everyone enjoys back to school shopping as much as me (my husband just cringes when I tell him I’m going shopping for school supplies). So here’s a few suggestions on how to make it a little more enjoyable, hopefully, on everyone involved. You may need to change it slightly depending on the COVID restrictions in your area, but there are still lots of ways to make it fun and engaging for your family.

Our Favourite Family Activity Ideas

Our Favourite Summertime Drinks!

One way to beat the summer heat is by enjoying a cool, refreshing drink while relaxing in the shade. Here are a couple of our favourite summertime drinks to enjoy outside that anyone can make!

Bubble Bath Playdough Recipe

This summer, I’m going to encourage you to make some Bubble Bath Play Dough to add to the fun of water time. The great thing about this is that it is not just for the tub - but can be added to water sensory bins. Why not create a car wash bin and have the playdough be the soap that’s used to wash the cars!

10 Tips to Beat the Summer Slide

School’s out for the summer! Who’s excited? I know I am! Especially after the last wonky couple of months, and the significant chances that we have had thrown into our laps whether we wanted it or not - now we can have a well deserved break. However, there is something that all parents need to be aware of – the “Summer Slide”.

Create Your Own Dad Superhero Comic

Here is a comic strip template! Use it to write your own comic strip that displays your dad, uncle, grandfather, or whom ever you would like to honour during this day as the hero who faces a challenge and saves the day. What super powers would he have? What does his superhero costume look like? Are there evil forces that he needs to battle? Write an adventure story for your dad – and don’t forget the happy ending!

Frozen Mango, Kiwi and Raspberry Pops!

One thing that I do know that works to help keep cool (other than a pool or beach or sprinkler) just happens to be one of my favourites! I LOVE summer treats – fresh berries or watermelon, milkshakes and ice cream. My all time favourite would be popsicles! There are so many delicious flavours to have (personally I like the white ones the best). However, just recently I bought my own popsicle molds – this means that I get to have lots of fun mixing popsicles for myself!

Design Your Own Mask Craft

Right now we are living in a completely different, and scary, reality. No matter the age of your child, they are probably feeling the effects of this pandemic, and are struggling to cope. Your child’s mental health is important. The biggest thing that you can do for them is to be honest with them.

I’m Living History, helping Kids journal through COVID19

Over the last month or so, our lives have changed drastically. We have been asked to distance ourselves from our friends and loved ones, parents may have been laid off or are working from home, day trips to the beach, park or zoo have been canceled. It’s natural that we are experiencing a great deal of emotions - a great deal of grief. To be honest, one of the best ways to help your child understand what is happening, to deal with the many emotions they are feeling and to record a piece of history in their own words is for them to journal.

The Case of the Missing Sock Challenge

There are so many times where I go to fold the clean laundry and there is a sock that doesn’t have it’s buddy. Has this happened to you? I like to think of it as a mystery novella, “The Case of the Missing Sock”. In fact, I know that this happens to a lot of people because there is a day specifically devoted to lost socks. No matter how much you search the dryer, your yard, or even your entire house those missing socks are nowhere to be found.
