Not only is this game an easy way to have fun with Max, it’s also a fun way to work on his oral motor skills.

I am not sure how to call these things we have made from straws, but we had a lot of fun with them.

This is how my little scientist inflates balloons!

If you are looking for activities for babies or toddlers, here is an easy-to-make baby oil sensory bag.

Alex knows that every time we do an experiment the result should be different from what he normally expects to happen. This time he said that water would not spill if we turn the cup upside down. So I asked him to do just that and water...

These balloons are perfect for both children tactile sensory play and for stress relieve for grown-ups. We used corn flour, beans, peas and rice, but balloons can be filled with almost anything you have at home.

Checking if interference between the contradicting information can cause problems for Alex to do a simple task - naming the colours! Try doing it yourselves! Pause the video and name colours, not the words.

We used toilet roll tubes to make those creative stamps for more arty fun. I gave Max a chance to make one himself but then I ended up finishing it myself. To make fun last even longer we have switched to black paper, that gave Max a bit...

Tracing chalk numbers with wet cotton buds

We are stacking cups with a rubber band and pipe cleaners to promote teamwork. Ability to work together is one of the keys to succeed in life. But in our case this activity is also about building a bond between brothers to show them that...

A sunny way to help my boy to improve his scissor skills

After Easter egg hunt we were left with loads of plastic eggs. So I made this Montessori-inspired sound set. Max had to match sounds, pairing every red egg with one green egg.

Using pippetes is great way to teach a toddler or a preschooler to hold pencil properly for writing. This activity is Ice-Cream themed. Max had to mix colors to make each ice-cream scoop a different flavour.

This quick clothespins with pasta activity is a perfect for our lazy Monday.

A simple activity we do sometimes with stencils taped to piece of paper. Max loves exploring symbols and shapes while tracing them with pencils. Any stencils are good for the activity.

We took advantage of a sunny day and had lots of fun tracing shadows outside.

What an amazing way to explore magnets by painting! Max combines science and art in this mess-free activity.

We had a day of mixing fun with a milk frother. I quickly grabbed everything from around the house that we should try throwing in a vase before making a tornado there. New batteries were loaded and we were ready to start. Max just loved...

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.

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).

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.

Funny looking grass haired monters are due for a haircut.

This is how to pop a balloon…with an orange peel. When I squeeze orange peeling, you can see that it is spraying something around. That liquid is called limonene and it easily breaks latex of the balloon causing it to pop.

People have been using codes throughout history to keep their messages private and my two little spies needed a way to sent their secret messages to each other too. So I came up with this simple paper plate decoder for them to have fun.
