Hello January! Hello new routine! We’re starting the new year with an SK kiddo in virtual school on Monday. So this mama is trying to wrap her head around how to best help him get into a new routine. And we’re starting with this Melissa & Doug magnetic daily calendar. Magnetic pieces let kids identify and change the day of the week, the date, weather and special events. There’s even a space to post their mood, allowing for some great communication and emotional recognition. ...There’s space for special events (like a certain someone’s special birthday coming up next week) and a white board if you want to write special notes, or use it to store the extra magnets. I’m thinking this will be a great way to do our own morning circle time and get ready for the day! We have a few of these calendars in stock. Check them out on our website (link in bio) under learning resources. #virtualschool #virtuallearning #covidschool #magneticcalendar #morningcircletime #homeschoolresources #homeschool #homeschoolingmama #melissaanddougtoys #dailycalendar #newcalendar #2021 #burlingtonmoms #haltonparents #oakvillemoms #waterdownmoms #hamiltonmoms #learnathome #homeschool #burlingtontoystore #toystoreinburlington #burlingtonontario

Baby girl is teething so Santa brought her a @malarkeykidsinc Chew Cube from Mama's shop ! I love the chew cube for many reasons: 1 - it's geometric patterns mean baby can easily grab it between her fingers. 2 - The cube is lined with those little teething bubbles that feel great against her sore gums.... 3 - There's a black and white rattle inside with a little mirror so it also acts as a toy when she's not chewing on it! Oh , you knocked it out of the park with this one! #babyabbyapproved #babytoy #teething #teethingbaby #teethingtoy #teethingsucks #teether #infanttoy #baby #hellobaby #burlingtonmoms #burlingtonmamas #burlingtontoystore #toystore #burlon #burlingtonontario

Feeling very honoured to be part of this "Best of Burlington" series. We're just one of many businesses that have had to pivot due to covid. I think it's important for local businesses to share not only the glory stories but also the struggles and I think this video does a great job of capturing both.

Follow The Best of Burlington to see even more ...amazing local businesses. Now more than ever it's important to show our support to local businesses.

The Magic Christmas Tree! This one makes a great rainy day activity. My son and I gave this a try over the weekend. Check out our stories today to see how it turned out. This paper tree magically transforms into a real looking tree. ... It’s really cool to see the process unfold and actually quite simple. Place your paper tree in the little petri dish container. Now what I learned is that you should use the little tabs on the branches and spread them out horizontally to avoid getting any bare spots like we did in ours. Pour the magic water solution over top of your tree. I recommend using an eye dropper or syringe to do this to make sure that you get the whole tree covered and to avoid spilling the solution. Then sit back, put on a Christmas movie (we watched the Christmas Chronicles 2) and watch as your tree magically comes to life. This whole process took 6 hours. While our tree didn’t turn out as perfect as the picture (we learned a few things for next time), it was so fun to watch it transform and my son’s reaction when we checked it every hour to see the progress was just adorable. #magicchristmastree #magicofchristmas #christmastoy #merrychristmas #christmascraft #magicact #christmas #christmasgiftidea #christmasfun
