So some good friends of mine recommended I branch out from the usual eggs for breakfast. So on a whim I decided to make some rainbow pancakes this morning. I literally decided to do it and whipped them ago all within a matter of 30 minutes. And the outcome was so fun! Look at these adorable rainbows and clouds! I will definitely be doing more pancakes in the future.

Today we decided to take our Safari Animal Flashcards outside for a little outdoor animal adventure. We took them around the yard and matched the colors of nature to the animals on each of the cards. We also laid them out on our IKEA Flisat table and pointed out each one! Sofie can already say “tiger” and “hippo” but the other animals are taking her a little while longer to get. We enjoyed a little fun in the sun in our adorable sunflower peplum from Eighth Day Creations.
These flash cards are the perfect way to get your toddler’s education started off on the right foot. They’re durable and you can take them on the go!
This morning we used breakfast as an opportunity to practice our sight words! I thought these would be really hard for Sofie to get, but surprisingly, she could repeat every single word! It was so fun to hold them up and have her say each word out loud. I paired it with a special eggs and heart shaped toast for breakfast. I love doing creative little ways to make breakfast a special time since we really get to bond over breakfast.
Lately Sofie has been more interested in whatever I’m eating than what I’ve made for her. But I guess that comes with the toddler mom territory. She really liked the toast today though and that kept her busy while I was making my own breakfast. Because the toast and her sight words flashcards, she was all set to for a whine-free meal!

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s day morning that with pink pancakes! It was sooo much fun to get to make these Valentine’s Day themed pancakes. And it was so awesome to watch Sofie dig into them with her hands. She loved playing with them more than she enjoyed eating them. And it’s so simple to drop a couple of drops of food coloring into the batter and make a master piece on our little griddle.

Still looking for that last minute Valentine’s Day activity? Setting up these water beads was so fun and so simple! Inspired by @mama.jots I cut a heart out of card board and placed it on top of an old box. Then I filled a plastic ziploc freezer bag with water beads. Sofie loved scratching at and poking at the texture. She played with it for like 30min and then again while I was getting dinner ready. It was the perfect toddler Valentine’s Day activity. And it took maybe 10minutes to prep. We did go to the park while we waited for the water beads to expand.

Today we spent our morning with our Desert Animals Flashcard set from GoodnightFox. It was so much fun teaching Sofie about some animals that she doesn’t see regularly in her books or outside. She’s great at starting to mimic the sounds I make for each animal name. And she’s getting close to being able to recognize some of them as well. These flashcards are such a great little educational activity to pass the time, especially while I’m cooking or cleaning up around the house.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I decided to put together a little Love Basket for Sofie. But what could I possibly come up with that she doesn’t already have!? Since we’re planning a little vacation in March, I figured a back pack would be a great way for her to tote around her toys. And she’s been needing shoes the next size up so I snagged these super cute pink sneakers from H&M. Of course she needed a new game, so I tucked this sweet Rainbows & Unicorns memory game into the pocket of her backpack. Along with some new books, a teddy bear with an adorable bow from thepurplewagon.com and voila!

Today we took our Planets Memory Game card set to the park — I was a little nervous about playing this game outside, but the cards were super durable and Sofie kept them all in on place. Luckily the park near our house has some nice fake grass, so it was easy to keep everything clean. Sofie loved taking the cards in and out of the bag. And we practiced each planet one at a time — sun, venus, mars, earth, uranus, neptune, saturn, jupiter, and pluto. It was so much fun to find all of the matches and pair the cards up. We love this little toddler activity!
Looking for an amazing toddler gift! This Planets Memory Game is so practical and can be played from ages 3-6.
We’re loving all of the fun taste-safe activities and we decided to keep it going with some Jello play! This one was super easy to make. In fact, I made the Jello with Sofie sitting right there on the counter with me (was very cautious about the boiling water of course!). Then to add a little bit of texture, we sprinkled some valentine’s cupcake sprinkles on top.
Here’s what you need:
Boiling water
Cold water
Jello packet
Dish to put it in
Sprinkles for fun and texture!
