If you liked my solar system cards from a couple weeks ago, I'm hoping you'll like these free, printable, 3-part Montessori-style universe cards as well. Before too long, I plan to make some space exploration cards to go along with these sets, so be sure to sign up for my newsletter if you're ...

Solar System Cards

Is there anyone who isn't fascinated by astronomy? My kids admittedly have a hard time wrapping their heads around the enormity of space and will ask questions like, "What's bigger...Jupiter or California?" However, they love talking about planets and learning whatever I'm willing to teach them. ...

If you've read the Dr. Seuss book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, and are 5 years old, like my son, you will be happy to know that this homemade oobleck is not as terrifying as the substance originating from Dr. Seuss's imagination.

My husband made butter in a baby food jar as a child and it must have made a strong impression, because he's been saying we should do this for YEARS. (I think even before we had kids.) Well, we finally did it and I can attest that it was just as easy and satisfying (and delicious) as he said it ...

Little kids love animals. I've been wanting to make some cards like these since my first child was a toddler. He loved learning and reading about animals so much, I figured why NOT start teaching him about the different types of animals like mammals, birds, and reptiles? There's so much knowledge ...
Relative Sizes of Planets

I've always been fascinated by space. When I applied to college, I actually listed Astronomy as my intended major. Something about the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of our little planet on a cosmic scale brings me comfort. How can my problems possibly be worth stressing out over ...
