DIY Face Parts

Kids love to play with play dough and this is an easy way to teach your kid about face/body parts in a fun way. You and your little one will have so much fun playing with it!

Show them how to do it once.

Step back and let your child do it. Please do not correct him/her or instruct them. Give them the time and freedom to use their imagination. 

She loved this activity!

These simple creations kept her busy and interested for quite a while. She even decided to make a poop before making ears and nose.  

I am definitely going to try doing this with body parts.

DIY Weather and Day-Night Board

Hi guys! Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to share a fun way I used to teach my kid about the weather. I started when she was 2 years old and its really fun, easy and interactive way to learn and not very expensive to create. I got this idea from a YouTube blogger and I wish to thank her Rachel Talbott (https://www.youtube.com/user/CheckInTheMirror)

Things needed: A board, Felt sheets, Velcro Stickers, A pair of scissors, Synthetic adhesive

Directions:

Step1: Use the adhesive on blue felt (sky) and paste it on the board or frame.

Step2: Cutout some grass, sun, cloud (i used white and blue felt to show rainy and cloudy days), moon.

Step 3: I used a strip of white felt for the partition 

Step 4: Add the velcro stickers to the back of the weather options so you can stick them little easier.

DISCLAIMER

Hello everyone!

I have written lot of personal journals, which usually starts with “Dear Diary” but this is the first time I am publishing it online and for the first time its not about daily melt downs. I want to use this platform to share my experiences, my failures and my ideas (which are always not mine).

To tell you about me; I am mother of 2 year old. I am currently living with my in-laws until mid of 2019. Unlike most households I don’t have to do the traditional duties of a daughter-in-law. I mostly do what I want to do and my daily routine mostly involves  tidying up my room and taking care of my 2 year old and few errands and helping my husband with work once in a while. 

I know its nothing compared to what most of us do on a regular basis ( I would say I am lucky when it comes to that) but I find it quite over whelming, I feel like I don’t even have time for myself and I am constantly working, I keep procrastinating, I feel tired and all that. Don’t know why, but it is the truth. So I am going to use this platform to improve upon myself, share my insights on parenting and fun ways to teach a child ( Disclaimer:I am not a great mother and constantly failing and very controlling and a tiny bit OCD).

I do not know if it is going to be useful for anyone but its a start and I believe that when one preaches then they tend to follow :)
