Do It Yourself! Number Chart : 1-100 This simple number chart is fun and so easy to make. If you love creating things yourself, this will be a nice, fun and rewarding project for you.

I can't remember the name of the site, but will give credit and a link once I find it.** If you're doing it in the presence of your toddler, add to the excitement by gi...

When i realized it was Dr. Seuss Day, I decided to try to make at least one item from our list before the day ended. But, I had none of the materials from the plan, at hand for our projects. So i improvised. yep! I got creative using construction paper, poster board, and more, to whip up a quick hat. Despite the last minute rush, lil man had fun making the hat and enjoyed using it. Getting to use scissors and glue, was the most wonderful experience for him. He couldn't wait to show off his hat to his dad and brothers. Materials: construction paper (red, white and black) Poster Board (white) Scissors Glue Hot glue gun with glue sticks Printer Tape measure Making the hat was easy.
