Introduction:

I'm both a mother, and a grandparent.  For the past 8 years I have searched the internet far and wide for fun things for my grandchildren that are age appropriate. I've found crafts, coloring pages, seasonal fun, mad libs, brain teasers, potty training charts, and so, so much more. No matter what the age, there is something to learn, and what a better way to learn than to have fun doing it.  Whether doing simple coloring, learning math, or playing games, it all still involves learning whether it's how to color within the lines (small motor control), or learning addition.

I'm making this blog primarily to share all these wonderful places with parents, as well as grandparents.  For all those times you've ever heard "Mom....(or gramma/grampa) I'm bored", this will hopefully help you find all kinds of free resources to keep them entertained and learning.  With all the fun things I've found along the way, I thought it would be nice to share them with others.

Each day I plan on passing along some information and links so you can find those things that are educational, and/or fun. The posting schedule I have planned is:
 
Math Monday:  free resources for learning math, whether it's beginners or advanced.  Most will be for grade-school aged kids.  Lots of the pages have free printables so your child can practice, including regular math worksheets, to fun math learning games.  Why a schedule?  Well, I know how busy we all are, and if there's only one area you're interested in, then you'll know what day to drop in.  Of course, you are more than welcome to use the 'follow' option and have it emailed, or rss feed.  There's also a Facebook Share button if you find something you'd like to share with others. 

Tuesday Tip Day:  Mom to Mom tips, kid friendly recipes, lunch box treats.  Please email me if you have a good tip to share!  I will be glad to mention it came from you.
 
Whacky Wednesdays:  kid friendly jokes, mad-libs, brain teasers, and fun stuff

Thursday: crafts for kids

Friday:  free printables for the kids, and sometimes just for Mom, coloring pages, and seasonal downloads
 
Saturday:  science and nature
 
Sunday: family fun and things that have no particular category lol.
