Click With Kids: Scavenger Hunt
“Mom, can we go for a stroll?” I know Kane is sick of sitting in a hospital bed when he says something like that!

So Kane wants to write (another) book… As you have probably gathered the setting is at the hospital, in this case the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Mom: “Who are the characters?”Kane: “Me, you and the doctors…and nurses…every one of them.” Mom: “Why are we writing the book?”Kane: “For children and cause I’m making a little bookshop.”Continue reading “Together – A Day at the Hospital”
Click with Kids: Underwater Camera
Last summer, I bought an underwater camera for the kids to play around with. Unbeknownst to me, it is a huge pain in the butt to get those underwater cameras developed.

Click with Kids: Figuring it Out
Click with Kids Project #5 I don’t know about you, but we have a ton of figures in our house; Avengers action figures, Playmobil people, the little green army soldiers like the guys in Toy Story… But the characters that have taken over our lives, the ones that are everywhere, in every nook and cranny ofContinue reading “Click with Kids: Figuring it Out”
Click with Kids: 5 Senses
Click with Kids Project #4 Photography is so much about what we see and this project is all about trying to isolate some of the other senses. Mav has been really interested in working on this with me over the last couple of weeks. With it being so busy around this time of year (forContinue reading “Click with Kids: 5 Senses”
Click with Kids: Word Search
Click with Kids Project #3 We’ve been hard at work searching for letters. Here are a couple of the ones Kane and Mav found… Did you figure out which letters they were representing?
