Encouraging Hearts and Home: For the Little Ones

I found a collection of posts from last week's party that all reminded me of when my kid were babies and pre-school aged.  Having gone to school and getting my master's in early childhood education I had lots of great ideas for taking care of my kids and keeping them entertained but I love that I am always learning new ideas (fodder for when I may have grandchildren or grand nieces/nephews someday).  I hope you enjoy them too!




And Now, It's Time for This Week's Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!  

Join your Encouraging Hearts & Home Co-Hosts each week for encouragement and support for your heart & your home. We hope to provide a space that builds each other up and lends a helping hand along the way. With all the negativity in the world, let's shine a positive light!


Some of my favorites from last week's party:

  1. Awww these bring back so many great memories. Did you ever use a "water table" in the summer- that was a big hit here as was running through the sprinkler :)

    1. Oh yes, and we put so much more than just water in it too! I used to bring it inside for the winter and use dry oatmeal or rice or pasta to keep them busy year round.

  9. Such a great idea with the Cheerios. I have one granddaughter who ate sand to beat the band. And now have a grandson who seems to be following in her footsteps. Bought him a water table and sand box but mom is afraid he will eat the sand. Now I can help remedy that!!

    And I love the fairy soup. Used to make stone soup (which was taco soup with a rock in it) in the library with my second graders. Will try fairy soup with the grands this summer.

    1. Yes, sand and water tables don't have to be nearly that limiting. We put all sorts of goodies in ours!
