Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

Educational Activities During This Time for Ages Under 5

Who else is realizing they don’t give teachers enough credit?? Lol! I’ve been trying to keep my daughter’s brain nice and exercised, since being quarantined, and I’ve finally found some fun ways for her to ‘hopefully’ keep that hunger for knowledge.

Remember how much fun scavenger hunts were when you were a kid? Well, I’ve found a way for my kids to learn AND be kept busy for good amount of time.

Scavenger Hunt – Educational Activities

If anyone is having a hard time remembering what a scavenger hunt is, here’s my rendition:

Create a list of items, but instead of using the exact name for the items, use words that describe them. Then the kids have to go find each item around the house that matches those descriptive words.

So when you’re playing with your child, you’d read the first item as something that’s “red and round.”

And you can help your kiddo look around the house for something red and round!

I use simple and fun terms like colors, shapes, numbers, and even animals. My four-year-old loves this game and I like knowing its educational for her.

What fun educational activities are you doing with your kids during this time at home?

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
