We were immediately drawn to the parenting topics, where there were so many choices for fun activities. I printed off these awesome playdoh mats. I had the kids color them in (you can print in color or black and white, but I knew my kids would have more fun coloring the sheets in first). Then, I covered the front of the sheets in contact paper.
There is a cutting skills activity on Twinkle that the kids loved too, they had to cut out different sized shapes and then glue them in order of largest to smallest. Big Sister is pretty good at cutting shapes, so she did that part, and Little Guy loved the gluing and sorting side of it. What’s neat about Twinkl, is that you can apply the resources in whatever way works bet for your kiddo. You can use the activities and tweak them to fit your plan to learn at home…Little Guy made his shapes into a mountain.
I am looking forward to using the Advent Calendar found on Twinkl website. This was as much fun for me as it will be for the kids! I found myself enjoying coloring all the squares…probably a little too much! This Advent Calendar is nice because you can personalize it by putting special messages behind each door. I decided to put little crafts or special things we would do that day. I am looking forward to doing this one with my 4 year old.
Another great part of the parenting section of their website is that it is not only for school. There are at-home behavior charts like this one that are so easy to just print off and hang on the fridge. My daughter had fun deciding what she thought would be a good reward at the end of the week…she is a girly girl and picked a necklace.

I am looking forward to a holiday with my husband being home for the holidays and not deployed this year. Some of the hardest holidays have been because the military needs Daddy far away. We feel so lucky this year.
