Max is looking for missing numbers with pegs. Some children just remember number sequence as a poem, but this activity challenges them to get a better understanding of numbers.

Alex was doing this activity for the second time and he loved it again. I have edited photos of Angelina Jolie, Ellen DeGeneres, Mark Zuckerberg and Beyonce and asked Alex to draw other sides of faces.

This is a quick fun activity we did to reinforce Max's understanding of the value of each number. We used play dough and toothpicks.

Money Math! We are using coins with different face value to count 10 pence.

Max loved clothes pins activity last time, so I made this simple activity for him today. By now, he is quite familiar with his name letters, but have a look how good he is with more challenging words. I do not know where he learns all that.

Max loves this simple letter recognition activity covering letters from his name with clothes pins.

Testing heat conduction with Alex. We stuck a bead of butter to the ends of metal, wooden and plastic spoons. We had to wait results a bit after adding hot water to the bowl, but it was worth it. Another lesson is learned here. Metal is...

Here is our soap powered boat that Alex has made from a business card. He cut corners of the card and put soap at the back of the boat. After he placed the boat onto the water, it scooted across. To try that again, we needed to rinse out...

Easy science experiment for children. We are popping balloons with Max today. It is simple with just one pin, but when the number of pins increases, the balloon doesn't pop (unless I push it really hard).

Simple science experiment with glasses “magically” sticking to a balloon

How cool are these light up spooky ghosts? So easy to make and they look super cool. To make them I used empty milk jugs, battery operated lights and baking paper (to make the light spread evenly).

Here is an easy activity with flags of the world. Alex is matching counters with flags by colours or shapes found in them. He didn’t stop until he covered every flag.

A quick and easy to make activity for Halloween that helps strengthen gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

We are checking what would happen with coins if we add vinegar to them.

An eraser is usually used to correct mistakes in drawings, but what about using it to draw instead?

This is how we turned two circles into one square. Geometry magic!

Alex just loved finding words on these rotating blocks. It took me some time to come up with the best combination letters for each block (1 - pcrf; 2 - euai; 3 - tgnd), but then in just a minute, we had this fun educational toy. Every...

Thank you for your suggestions and comments to my videos. I do read them and here is the result. A new activity for name recognition, but this time Max's name is not all in capitals. Max is sticking tape over letters of his name.

This activity focuses on recognition of a child’s very own name. It’s very special to them and they feel so proud to be able to recognise or even spell it. You can use anything you have at home to cover letters, like, stickers, stones or...

Easy to make phonics flip book improves reading skills in an engaging and fun way. Alex loved going through pages of mini notepads to find letters and blends to create familiar words.

Funny looking grass haired monters are due for a haircut.

Chores can be fun - this is what Alex learn when learning to fold a t-shirt that has a puzzle on it!

Alex tried to put filled with water balloon inside the jar, but he couldn't. So we heated the air inside the jar and it expanded. Once we put the water balloon on top it, the flame went out and the air in the jar started cooling and...
