With spring right around the corner, it’s not too early to be thinking about gardening with the family. You don’t really need a lot of space (you can grow quite a few things in pots or other containers) and this is such a great activity to do with children —
Art kits for kids can be hard to come by. Some of them are too difficult, some don’t include all the necessary items, etc. I have been a fan of the Master Kitz* series for several years now. Master Kitz are kind of “art in a box” for children. Each
This may very well be one of my all time favorite posts to write here on Yogalore and More. I always get excited when I make something cool that the children enjoy (and I enjoy too!). We talk so much about how important sensory experiences are for preschoolers and the

You may think yoga for babies is crazy — babies can’t do yoga! Originally when I was developing the YoGalore curriculum, I had preschoolers and school age children in mind. Not because I didn’t think YoGalore was for older or younger children, but mostly because I was more familiar with
Coming up with ideas for air dry clay is not tough to do. Making ornaments is definitely a favorite of mine. As with most sensory activities I find it relaxing and there are so many possibilities, the activity itself never gets old. There are a few different ways to make
