Kids love search-and-find books, and early childhood educators love them too. While all books are great for teaching kids to read, the interactive nature of a seek-and-find book adds an extra element of play to the learning process. In addition to helping kids practice reading, these books are an interactive experience that help kids learn the skills they need to solve problems, create their own stories, and much more.

When will my child learn to spell their name?

Many parents dread teaching their children how to spell. English is a difficult language that’s not always phonetic, and kids have so many things they’d rather be doing than puzzling over letters!

Mother’s Day activities for the whole family

Mother’s Day is a holiday about honoring mums, but it’s also a celebration of a mother’s place in her family. As you plan a special surprise for mum this year, consider these activities that everyone in the family can enjoy together.

Why do we give gifts on Mother’s Day?

Why do we give gifts on Mother’s Day?

Giving gifts to your mum isn’t a modern invention. Throughout recorded history, children have given their parents gifts of handmade crafts, favourite foods, clothing, jewellery, and more. Ancient societies even had festivals honouring mums and celebrating the concept of motherhood. Early Christians in Europe began the practice of celebrating “Mothering Sunday.” On a Sunday in the middle of Lent, people would visit their “mother” church in their home town. The day became a popular time for family reunions, since children who’d moved away for work would return to the town or village where their family lived. The day became a time to enjoy special foods and bring family members gifts from far away.

Five last minute Father’s Day gift ideas
