Lego Challenge #1

Nikki, over at Angels of Heart is starting up a Lego Challenge for kids! The first and third Friday of each month she will be presenting a new challenge for your kids to take on. My oldest son spends more time playing with Legos than any other toy in our house, I'm sure many of you can relate! So I thought it would be fun to present my three children with a challenge, and they loved it. 




     Both of my boys picked a monster for their creation! Of course.
Michael's Monster
Age 5

Aaron's Monster
Age 6

Tirzah's Towers
Age 3

Some creative looking towers, I must add.  I should have done duplos though, she was having quite the time trying to snap these together. Hence the short towers, haha!

Tallest: Red
Shortest: White

Tune in two weeks from now for the next challenge!!!

  1. I love Michael's monster . I like that it is flat. I would not have thought of that very creative. Aarons is great too. Nice background drawing. Your little ones towers are awesome. My daughter went right off task but I was surprised when she completed the older kids task. I sometimes under estimate her. My kids are already asking for the next challenge. lol

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too!    Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

  Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand!   (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
