I always dye eggs for Easter with the children in my care but this year we made the Peep Chicken Coop as well. The children loved using the sugar cookie panels, Peeps chicks, premade icing, and assorted candies to make this holiday chicken coop. You don’t see all the sugar cookies in our coop because […]
As this photo shows, one of my Nanny Kids loves Perler Beads. She spends hours and hours making beautiful patterns. For children with great fine motor skills Perler Beads are the best boredom buster ever. The girl in my care used the Sunny Days Perler Beads Kit and Perler Beads Flower Madness to make these […]
Pacifiers work great to help soothe newborns and infants. But, it’s best to get rid of pacifiers as early as possible. Continued use of pacifiers after babies have teeth can cause an overbite in the child. Dentists recommend kicking the paci habit by the time baby is 12-months-old.

I love the Mewl Baby Whiteboard. It is such an easy way for new parents and nannies to easily coordinate the baby’s day. The Mewl Baby Whiteboard is reusable and conveniently sticks to the fridge. Track the baby’s feedings, diaper changes, and sleep times. Mothers can also log breastfeeding and pumping sessions. Simply snap a […]
Creative Projects I love Crayola Model Magic. It provides hours of fun as the perfect clay alternative for young sculptors. Its naturally stretchy, porous texture makes it easy for small hands to mold their next masterpiece! Crayola Model Magic doesn’t stick to hands, making it easy to roll out, cut, mold, and clean up. The […]
