Watercolours from the Garden

August 4, 2016 By Twin Acres Homestead Leave a Comment

Watercolours from the Garden

The boys love to paint, inside, outside.....anywhere.  It's one of their favorite things to do during quiet times.  While we were in the garden picking beets and getting stains all over our hands, I thought how fun it would be if we could make our own paint.  Finding non-toxic edible paint for infants and toddlers can be expensive, and I want to … [Read more...]

DIY Tree Blocks

These DIY blocks are a great addition to any playroom or classroom.  After admiring the look and feel of natural tree blocks for years, but not wanting to pay the often high price for something I felt I could make myself, I finally decided to make a set for the boys last Christmas.  This project took me an afternoon, easy and quick while providing … [Read more...]

Sharing a Garden – Part 4

I like to think that I have saved the best for last, and no, it isn't my garden.  My mother's garden has always been large, and even now, when we are all living in our own homes and there is just my mom and step-dad at the house, she still plants enough for all of us.  We continue to reap the benefits of our mother's garden. I can remember … [Read more...]

School will soon be out for the summer and the kids will be home all day.  For me, it is my favorite time of year, I love having my kids home.  Being able to do activities with them, letting them help out around the homestead and teaching them things they won't learn in school.  That being said, sometimes it can be overwhelming when trying to get … [Read more...]

Infant Art – A Sensory Experience

Infant Art – A Sensory Experience 

When planning A's room we decided on a simple decor.  I wanted to make some of the art that we would display in his room and I wanted him to be a part of it.  Easier said than done with an infant, but we found a solution, we painted with A's feet. Not only did it provide me with the art I wanted for his room, but gave him a great sensory … [Read more...]
