Couvre-verre pour enfants
(24 Sept., 2012) Nico se plaignait que son verre de lait le matin, midi et soir était trop froid pour tenir, donc je l’ai enveloppé un linge à vaiselle. Ce n’est pas la meilleure solution mais ça fonctionne. Ce matin, ma mère est venu rendre visite et a vu ce fait habituel se produire, mais quelque chose à cliqué! Elle avait commencé à crocheter un cercle et à pensé qu’elle pourrait y rajouter un cylindre … Read entire article »

DIY Octonauts felt finger puppets
(July 6, 2012) So for a while now, Nico has been obsessed with the Octonauts, and of course wanted to play with them. Ick, you can’t find them in stores here, so after seeing Curious George’s “Sock Monkey Opera” episode, Nico wanted puppets. I brushed it off and got him busy with something else. Ok, reading this back, it sounds very weird and incoherent, but I promise it makes sense in the end, lol. I … Read entire article »
DIY themed word sight cork board
I got this farm fabric in the States that I knew Nico would love, since he loves everything farm for the last year. I only got a yard (asked for a meter, force of habit, but the girl said nope, jokingly and offered me a yard instead), it was a little pricey but I knew I could do a few things with that. I didn’t want to just go cushions so my mother suggested a cork … Read entire article »
Kids on the Go – Laval Children’s Museum, Laval, Quebec

The museum is located on the island of Laval, just north of the island of Montreal, close to one of the main highways crossing Laval, the Autoroute 13. Have a look here for the directions and also the rate schedule, which is something very rare and interesting – children’s admission … Read entire article »

Kids glass cozies
(Sept, 24, 2012) Nico kept complaining his glass of milk in the morning, afternoon and evening was too cold to hold, so I wrapped a dish towel around for him. It’s not the best solution but it works. This morning, my mother came up to visit and saw this usual fact happen, but something clicked! She had started crocheting a circle and just thought she could raise a cylinder to it and voilà! In a … Read entire article »
Jeu de main gauche, main droite
(15 Juin 2012) Vous avez probablement tous joué ceci, empiler les mains l’une après l’autre très rapidement pour voir qui va avoir sa main sur le dessus, non? Je l’ai ralenti et j’ai saisi cette occasion pour enseigner à un enfant de 2 ans, sa main gauche de sa droite. En attendant dans un restaurant, la mère d’Alex (visitant de l’Allemagne), a débuté le jeu, Nico ayant seulement 2 à l’époque et n’avait jamais joué … Read entire article »
