Life's a Game

Why create another blog documenting crafts and learning games with kids?  Good question.  I'm probably not going to come up with a lot of new ideas, but I am having fun gleaning some of the ideas that are out there and trying them out with my kids.  So, I'm creating this blog.  

Because I *love* Pinterest, I also want a place to which I can refer when I make comments on crafts or learning projects I've tried.  And, along those lines, I'm excited to share some of what I've found with others.  And, if you know me, you know I love to take ridiculous numbers of photos of my kids, so I'll throw some of those on here as well.

I am trying to teach my kids how to have fun in all of the things they do.  Crafts are pretty fun; math sheets are also fun when they involve Math Spiders and eating cheerios and making things disappear.  My kids love letters and words, and I want them to see learning as a game, a joy, something always worth doing.  I think they can even learn to see cleaning as a game! 

Right?

Very open to comments and ideas.  I think the thing I like the best about Pinterest and blogs is the sense of being in a creative community, even when I am stuck at home with a sick kid.  So, thanks!
