Solar System Activity

Today we decided to build a Solar system so that we could learn a little bit about the planets. We started out by cutting out 9 circles of various sizes matching the planets. Biggest circle for the Sun, then Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars & lastly Mercury. We also cut out some star shapes. Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links.

Why are flowers brightly colored?

Today while we were gardening my son complimented me on how beautiful my flower plants look. I told him that he also helped me tend to them, so he gets to take some credit for it too! Then he requested if I can make the green leaves colorful as well like the flowers since they are prettier. Oh! how I wish I could do that son :). He asked mama, why are the flowers colorful and not the plant? There was a Honeybee hovering over the flowers. It flew into the flower, sat there & t

Activities that can be done at home with kids

It has been about a month that we began sheltering in place because of Covid-19. Since then a lot has changed. A lot of adjustments had to be made to our daily routines, since offices and schools are now closed. It was difficult for all of us, but mostly for the kids, who don’t fully fathom what exactly is happening. Here is a list of activities that we are doing to keep ourselves entertained and busy! Baking : Recently Double Tree Hotel released their Chocolate Chip Cookie R

Food, science & love

I have always loved to eat, but I never cooked. The cooking part started after I got married. I remember my mom always loved to cook & feed me. We rarely ate food from outside. I always wondered why was it so important to her to feed everyone? I understood that part after I had a household of my own. Food is how we represent our love. It is a cultural thing for us. We socialize over food, we cook for those who we love! In college I had a group of friends. Looking back, I some

Morning Cuppa & diffusion

Our morning starts with me making two cups of Tea, and then drinking it with my husband along with one Cookie. Since it is getting colder, I was feeling lazy today to get up and make Tea. My son asked me, why aren’t you drinking Tea? He is so used to this ritual now! He knows nothing gets done in our house if we don’t have that Tea. Also today is the 2nd day of creativity challenge from our city. Today’s challenge is about sharing a picture of something that you collect. So I

Seasons & Colors

Yesterday was a busy day for me. Had a bunch of things to finish. Even when my son came back from school I wasn’t done. My husband was not back from work, my son’s dinner was not ready, oh what a mess! I asked my son, would you like to watch some TV while I finish making your dinner? And he said no, can we do some activity instead? What? did I hear that right? Yes, I did. Okay, even today morning I am feeling super happy about that statement! I could not think of what activit

Rainbow Toothpaste Volcano

Today’s post is a continuation of the “No” topics of my son. The first thing in the morning he says no to is brushing his teeth. Yes, I know how yucky! It is a struggle every morning to get him to brush his teeth. We tried a number of work arounds, different toothpastes, favorite character toothbrushes, lollipops( yes you read that right!), nothing works :(. So tonight before sleeping, I decided to skip the book reading and do some fun stuff with him ( by fun stuff I mean sci

Learning about halves & whole

Yesterday I was at a loss about what to make for dinner. Also I wanted it to be something that my little one would not be able to say no to. Remember we already had a “NO” day yesterday. Can’t do it two days in a row! So Pizza came to my rescue. No, don’t make that face, I didn’t order it from outside. You know I am all about making things from scratch. Thankfully we had all the ingredients in our pantry. I mixed the flour, sugar, salt & yeast and waited for the dough to rise
