This year, the world will be watching all the winter activities in PyeongChang for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. It’s a great opportunity to introduce something new to the kids — maybe a …

I don’t know when it started but I’ve always been fascinated with maps, globes and learning about places around the world.
I love to see how people across the globe eat, live and spend their day. These everyday activities are a fun way to expose kids to cultures and traditions outside of their own.
But alas, globe-trotting just doesn’t come that easy — even for a traveling family like ours. It’s expensive and takes quite a bit of time and planning. So for years, I’ve introduced my kids to different countries and cultures thorough books, videos and some fun hands-on activities we can do close to home.

Do you have a child who just loves trains? Or maybe you’re one of those parents who doesn’t mind getting caught at a railroad stop while the kids try to count how many train cars go through?
Trains are a form of travel that we should introduce to our kids – real train travel! A few years ago, my family took a trip by train for just a few hours. The kids loved the idea that we could all do things together (like visit the dining car for a snack!), had lots of room to stretch out and saw some unique places on the trip.
There are a lot of fun ways to introduce kids to geography and different cultures. We love to use maps with different activities to explore the world. Having a map in your home is an inexpensive but excellent learning tool! We also love reading books that introduce us to different places across the globe. …
It’s going to be quite a week — our country will celebrate both Election Day & Veteran’s Day. These are two days that are very important to discuss with kids but many times kids aren’t old enough to understand their significance.
I love to explore the world with my kids!
And even though we love to travel, most of our foreign explorations happen right in our own home.
Are you looking for gift ideas for a curious kid? You know, a child who loves to ask ‘why’, takes things apart to see how they work and is always wondering about something?
I LOVE curious kids! And shopping for them can be lots of fun because there are a number of great gift ideas that they’ll enjoy.
This week’s theme in our month-long Olympic Activities for Kids series is STEAM activities. Now I know you’re familiar with many of our STEM ideas for kids (science, technology, engineering & math) — but we don’t do a ton of ‘A’ = Art so I thought we would branch out a little this week. If …
