Sticky Wall Segmenting and Blending Activity for Beginning Readers
Little Sister (almost 5 years old) has shown a sudden interest in all things letters and sounds lately (which gives me great relief as she is by far the latest one of my children to show this interest). We created this Sticky Wall Segmenting and Blending Activity for Beginning Readers on a whim one afternoon and it has been a huge hit! This activity is a combination of two of my favorite activities already on the blog: ...

Best Ever Peanut Butter Playdough
Peanut Butter Playdough This fun peanut butter playdough can double as a snack or dessert. Not only is it super fun to play with, it really is delicious (believe me, I should know...I ate about half of it)! I shared this edible playdough recipe a couple years ago when we were learning about butterflies (and used it to demonstrate the phases of a butterfly's life), but I thought it was worthy of sharing again as we recently made some more to ...
