While I love all of the posts that made the most popular kids’ posts of 2012, I still had a few others that were my personal favorites! Here they are in no particular order:
How to Make a Large Magnetic Board
This is such an easy (and inexpensive) way to make a large magnetic board. We use it for our All About Spelling tiles, magnetic craft sticks, and more.
Growing a Thanksgiving Heart: The Habit of Gratitude
Cultivating gratitude in my children is a passion of mine–maybe because I’ve had such a struggle with learning to be grateful. I really want my children to learn to give thanks in all circumstances, and this little eBook is my take on teaching children about gratitude. Plus, it’s my first try at an eBook, so I’m excited about it!

These were just so cute and fun to make with the girls. Plus, it’s an easy way to get kids serving others!

I just like this post because it reminds me of what I hope to do more of — make a complete day’s worth of activities using themes. This post contains quite a few of our Dr. Seuss activities and they bring back some fun memories!
I made these for my youngest daughter’s 4th birthday, and they just bring a smile to my face when I remember that day! I also posted a printable gumball machine and activity to go along with it. You can find some of the cakes I’ve made and shared over on Pinterest.

I love reading….and I love to teach children to read! There is just nothing quite like seeing the lights turn on and their world expand once they’ve begun to devour book after book!
You can also find our top 10 read aloud books for elementary ages and our reading supply organizer.
This was a great experiment for me, because I saw how much I’ve been slacking on organizing all of my posts. There are so many I’ve forgotten about, and I just need to get things fixed up a bit so they are easier to find!
