Introducing the 6 Kingdoms of Life

Months ago, after watching an episode of Brainchild on Netflix, the boys got super interested with knowing more about bacteria.  They have so many questions about the biodiversity of life such as, if  a bacteria is an animal or a plant? is it an alien species? The curiosity  and eagerness to learn led me to introduce the Six Kingdoms of Life.


I know, this is elementary work, but I managed to pull-out activities that worked perfectly for both boys (10 and 5 years old).

Montessori Inspired Europe Continent Study for Kids Part I

With our recent trip to Spain, I decided to do a brief Europe Unit for Vito while he still can't stop talking about his plane ride and how fun it was to go to places.  The activity trays I prepared for him are designed for kids 5 years and older.  This is the first part of our unit and most of these are introductory lessons to maps and flags.  I've never had a Europe Unit with him before so I kept this simple and we'll be doing more in-depth activities as he progresses.

The Many Ways we Use Sarah's Silks

Sarah's Silks has been one of our "must haves" for years.  I've been seeing them everywhere from Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and even my fellow homeschooling mom friends have been using them for years too.  Thus, I was totally excited when Sarah sent me an entire collection of her Enchanted Playsilks for the boys to use and play!  When it finally arrived, the boys immediately used them for hours of play and have been one of their most used "toys" since then.

Dogs Breed Letter and Number Cards

Do you like dogs? My kids do! They're just so irresistible!  With all the dogs we are seeing around the estate, I decided to make DOGS BREED LETTERS AND NUMBER CARDS to all dog lovers out there.  These are the cutest!  I hope your kids and students will enjoy the cards as much as we do!
