Homeschooling my junior high daughter right now. Don’t know why this video was recommended, but it makes me miss when my kids were this age! Enjoy this time!

Five in a Row is such a great resource! I did it when my older 4 stair-steps were younger.

You had me at Christ ♡ excited to see your content. I'm prayerfully considering homeschooling my kiddos from this 2021/2022 year if it's the Lord's will!

[@PursuingPeace]

Amen! Let me know if I can help in any way. ❤

[@helenbekind8486]

Me too!! Private Christian school is very expensive. We are able to get a 75% scholarship but are still required to pay 3,000 per child. We have three children and as a stay at home mom, Financially and Spiritually, I feel like this is something I should do for my family. It’s a little overwhelming and requires focus and organization. 🤔😦 Lord help me. Help all of us mamas do your Will and raise your precious children as warriors for your Kingdom. In Jesus name. Amen.

[@NewLife-zy3ob]

@@helenbekind8486 we had them in Christian shcool too until we had our third and on one income my husband didn't see it as feasible. We now have 4 and the thought of homeschooling is quite overwhelming but with the current state of the world and things to come down the line. The things our children are being exposed to seems more toxic than ever. I have been praying for the Lord's confirmation to know that this is the path he has for us. I finally have that confirmation so I guess it's time to just jump in. I'm so thankful for my friends some of which are veterans others just a few years. It helped so much having Sisters in Christ to lean on. I never thought of the cost savings for Christian education! That's a great Point thanks for sharing :)

[@RunwrightReads]

This is great. My daughter is 15 months now and loving her independent play time so this is a great idea to give her some structure. Thanks for the inspiration. Im new to your channel so I’ll check out your other video on this idea and subscribe 🙂

[@Pirategirl4nightwish]

Honestly, your daughter doesn’t need structured playtime or teaching at her age. You could sit and play with her, putting out specific toys for her to choose from, and talk about what she’s doing. If you want a more structured activity have her lace Cheerios or fruit loops on a pipe cleaner. She could also put the pipe cleaners in an upside down colander. You can make cheap musical shakers from dollar store eggs and various fillings. I hot glued all the holes and then hot glued around where it joins. Simple peg puzzles are also appropriate for her age.

[@mickefy682]

Thank you SO MUCH for these ideas!!! I have a tip to add: I know you chose a book for the stickers but another way that keeps my toddler from stickering up the whole house is to take a long strip of (colored) contact paper from Dollar Tree and put in on the wall, from the floor to as high as my child can reach, and have that be the designated sticker wall. This really helped to make a safe space for stickers and I don’t find them on the floors and chairs and actual walls, anymore…as much. 😂

[@PursuingPeace]

Oh that's a great idea!!!

[@viavil1054]

Just a tip you can make the beads come down all at once by turning the pen horizontal and sliding it down on the board.

[@brightpage1020]

This looks so awesome. Love these ideas... But I have 2 toddler boys who try to run into the 2nd grade homeschooler's room to fight over the tablet that belongs to the school that let us borrow it. They pretty much just destroy the house throwing things at each other and food onto the floor, so I broke down and got a sitter to take them to the Park for me during our remote learning hours.

[@PursuingPeace]

It's not easy mama! Hiring a sitter is a great idea! ❤

[@aprilsmith5660]

You’re a veteran mom in my eyes! I’ve tried so hard to engage my two year old twins in Montessori toys, which they love but wouldn’t always play with for long. Finally, I realized that outdoor play improves their mood and concentration when we so come back inside. The learning curve of motherhood.

[@chaosandcurriculum]

[@PursuingPeace]

Yes they are! 😀

[@angelicaclaudio-cortes6952]

Lol, my girls would use up all the stickers in one sitting. I did think about the Melissa & Doug bear Puzzle but we ended up getting Dress-up Julia, instead. And we like the bead & rod sequencing game, too. How old is your total again? My 3 year old acts so much older, and my 1 year old always wants what her older sister has. It's a struggle.

[@PursuingPeace]

I hear ya'! My middle child is 4 going on 24!!! HA! She's still so small but she wants to do what her big siblings do. The toddler I have now just turned 3. And she is actually pretty content with where she's at. Thank God! LOL! She just wants to "do school." Whatever that is is fine with her. Michael's has these sticker books for $1 each! And they have SO MANY to choose from! If your kids love stickers...that might be a cheap way to keep them busy for a while. 😉

[@Navigatingmotherhood]

I suppose it depends on how old your toddler is, this looks more geared towards a younger preschool age. Like the box idea though

[@Pirategirl4nightwish]

Agreed. “Toddler” is anywhere from 12 months to 3 years old and most of these activities are too hard for most 2 year olds. Her child looks to be 2.5 or 3 years old, so many of the activities would be developmentally appropriate for her.
