It’s Twins!

I’ve been a little quiet over the last couple of months, and this right here is the reason, or should I say reasons!!! It was by far my most difficult first trimester and I’m just starting to feel more like myself (an exhausted version).

We are SOOO thrilled (and still a little shocked) that baby # 5 & 6 will be joining this summer!!!! 🎉

Nature Finds Valentines 💗 *free printable*

We have quite the collection of nature finds, so we dug into them for this project. Depending on where you live (and if the ground isn’t frozen over) you could head outside and collect most of what you need! 🧡

We also set out paint, sequins and googly eyes and the kids got busy decorating their nature finds for their friends.

@magichomeschoolbus

💗 I just made these into Printables for you all. Head to my bio or stories to link to the cards if you’d like to print them yourself. 💗 And feel free to tag any friends below who you think might want to make these too!

I used a thick card stock which is important for when you get to the point you want to secure your finds to the backing.

🍁 The leaves we used were wax-dipped from the fall, so we used just a tiny* dab of hot glue directly onto the card and they peel off without damage .
🌲 To secure the pinecones and sticks I simply dapped a bit of hot glue on the card and put a piece of string through it. Once it dried I tied it around the nature find. Does that make sense? 🤷🏼‍♀️Check the stories. I demonstrate it lol
🪨 For small rocks and pebbles I just tied them on with string (same as above). The kids did pick a few larger rocks from the front walkway and a rubber band around the card worked well for those. They will be handled with care. I’ll add that to the stories too.

Happy early Valenpines day to you all 💗

Stoke the Fire 🔥 Craftivity So simple and so

Stoke the Fire 🔥 Craftivity

So simple and so fun! Just add some oxygen to your fire and watch it grow!

This mornings science experiment taught us that fire *needs* oxygen (experiment in stories).

So we extended that thought and created a little piece of art for our walls this week.

What you need
• watercolor paints
• water
• paintbrush
• watercolor paper
• sticks and twigs
• hot glue
• straw

1. While outside, collect some sticks.
2. Glue them on the bottom of a piece of watercolor paper.
3. Fill your brush with a lot of color and water and add it right above your “logs”.
4. Use a straw and stoke your fire! By adding a little oxygen to that growing fire you are going to give it the boost it needs! 😉 (tip, have the kids get nice and low so that their breath really pushes the water and paint forward).
5. Repeat steps 3 &4 as you wish! Make your fire as strong as you’d like! Some helpful videos in today’s stories of my kids making theirs.

Enjoy!

** thank you for all of the wonderful messages and emails over the last few weeks. I know I’ve really dropped off social media. We are all doing well, and really needed to step back. We’ve had something really big come up, well I guess two different things, and it’s taken most of my time and energy. More on that soon 😘

🌙 Lunch Time! 🌙

having a little fun with our lunch today

We are reading some favourite solar system books while biting our moon shaped lunch into moon phase shapes.

Just like the moon, our homeschool journey goes through phases. And today, I needed to change up the plans. So there’s no checking anything off any to-do list. Just a moon lunch and lots of time outside. The writing can wait, the Wolf report can wait, and the laundry will definitely wait.

Happy Tuesday everyone. 💗
