Knowledge is good only if it is shared. As a mom of four, I have learned to take it day by day working from home, homeschooling 2 children (4,5 yr old), and taking care of 2 little ones (9 months, that I nurse and a 2 yr old that yells very loud!).
It's not easy and yes, there are days when we don't do anything but eat ice cream and watch t.v., but that's the beauty of being able to do it all from home and so we find that motivation again and keep on working for the future.
So here you will find very creative and easy ideas to keep infant and toddlers busy . What it's like to home school kids, and finally support for those who want to earn a living at home. So Enjoy and do me a favor and ask a question if you have one, I would love to help anyone who is in need.

Toddler 365 Fun: Painting and Pretending with Jell-O
You can do this with just about any unit you are currently working with. This activity is so much fun for your toddler and you, because the clean up is amazingly easy.
Make sure you plan this the day prior. I usually get all of my items ready on the weekend so all I have to do is get them out for Mandis the day of.
Some questions you can ask for this activity to increase vocabulary is:
1. How does this feel? Squishy, soft, hard, wiggly?
2. Is it cold or hot?
If your planning on mixing colors for the science affect:
1. What color can you make when you combine blue and red? (try preparing two colors at a time, per activity)
2. “I’m mixing yellow and red, what will I make?”
Place these globs of each color on a tabletop, highchair tray, plastic or paper plate, or other smooth surface. Your child will have fun pushing, squeezing, pouring, plopping about with this tasty activity, and eating it won’t hurt her a bit!
