Cardboard instruments are a rite of passage for beginner Suzuki method students.

They allow young hands to get accustomed to treating a small, fragile musical instrument with care.

Today on the blog I’m sharing how and why I made a cardboard viola for my 18-month-old. (I also share the template!)

Reading is such a foundational skill - don’t let

Reading is such a foundational skill - don’t let it fade over the summer!

Here are 6 tips for boosting reading this summer with your elementary student…

🍉 Plan outings around your reading (or vice versa).

🍉 Make the library part of your summer routine.

🍉 Dive into Shakespeare and try memorising some lines… and acting them out!

🍉 Get creative with when you do family read-alouds.

🍉 Don’t forget audiobooks for those long car rides.

🍉 Help your independent reader set goals for the summer… and consider rewarding her with book money if she meets her goals.

My daughter loves a book shop date with her mum. 💞

Happy reading! 📚🌴

We started science when we started school...

🥀 My daughter’s imagination is wild - from aliens and zombies (thank you, dad) to enchanted roses and mythical creatures.

🪐 She can start to comprehend what an atom is and how the solar system functions.

📚 I don’t assume something is too difficult and wait on it until she’s “older”. We just start with fundamentals and build up from there.

👧🏼👦🏼 It never ceases to amaze me how much even very young children can comprehend.
