Home Preschooling Helps

I did 2 years of Home Preschool with my daughter and will be doing the same with my son. Babyzone has a good article about this choice.  The best tip I have is to stay on top of lesson plans and get your prep work done at least the weekend before.

If Home Preschooling isn't on your mind these links can be helpful in finding toddler and preschooler fun! This list of resources was compiled long ago but I try to keep it updated.

Hi, I'm Chels!

 

Welcome to my blog-- I'm so glad you're here!  Fantastic Find has no particular topic but I share a lot of kid stuff (some my own, most from others) and more!  I have three kids-- 13, 10, and 5-- and we craft, sing, read, create, and play together!  I blog just for fun and really ♥ love ♥ to share good things!

Gymboree Bubbles

These are a must have if your kids enjoy bubbles. The Gymboree Bubble Ooodles set is terrific! The bubbles are little, there's loads and they linger longer! What's not to like about that?! You can purchase them at any Gymboree store or on their website. The solution is better than normal bubbles and I'm assuming it's because of the glycerin content. They will leave behind a (cleanable) trail, even on the tops of your kids heads! Here's a good review I found that tells you everything about them. Have fun blowing bubbles this Spring!
