  • Plastic Egg Ideas for Preschool

    Preschool Easter Egg Games

    When it comes to Easter activities for the classroom, you absolutely cannot go wrong with anything using plastic easter eggs. Preschoolers LOVE these things, so any money spent on them is always well worth it! Little ones will happily hunt for Easter eggs over and over again, and opening an Easter egg to find a surprise – even an educational one – is a preschooler’s ultimate fantasy. There are so many different games that these can be used for, here are some ideas to get you started. Hide the eggs in different spaces (classroom playground, different rooms in your school, etc.) and ask children to find specific colored eggs. Each…

  • Chill Spring Break Ideas

    Low-key Spring Break Plans

    I’ve never been one to make major spring break plans – I don’t love to travel at peak times – so I tend to lean more towards staycations or really leaning into relaxation. Here are my favorite ways to spend a very low-key, chill spring break. I firmly believe these kinds of breaks should leave you feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work or school. When you’re traveling, you don’t always return home relaxed! Making a conscious decision to chill really changes both the vibes of your spring break, and helps you feel like you’ve actually made the most of that opportunity.

    Spring Break Style

    The sun has finally started shining again, and that always signals my brain for warm weather clothes. I’m desperate to wear all things coastal. Here’s what’s currently in my cart for spring break 2025! Straw tote – I had a bag like this as a teen and I’m kicking myself for getting rid of it. I could not be happier that this look is coming back and I absolutely will have one of these again for the summer. Round Sunglasses – Is it possible to have too many sunglasses? I don’t think so. These are classic and trendy at the same time and I love the color. Pearl Huggie Hoops…

  • Planning a Staycation

    Spring Break Staycation Ideas

    I am all about the staycation! It’s perfect for spring break because it doesn’t always fall at the best time to travel, and really who wants to travel with everyone else in the world. The perks of a staycation are that you don’t have to pack, you get to sleep in your own bed, and there’s no jet lag. Plus, since you’re not spending money on flights or hotels you can stretch your budget a lot farther. So how do you make a staycation really feel like a vacation, and not just laying around on your couch watching Netflix? Here are my tips. Plan ahead. Having a specific plan in…

    Bird Activities for Preschool

    Studying birds is always a hit with preschoolers – these are animals that can FLY, who wouldn’t want to know more?! Birds are animals that children may not interact with directly, but they still play a role in their daily lives, no matter where your students live. This makes them perfect for exploration AND you can easily personalize the learning by choosing birds that are native to your area. Here are some of the preschool bird activities that I love to do in (or outside) the classroom. Bird watching is a must! Make some binoculars out of cardboard tubes and head outside. You can identify common birds, count the numbers…
