Home schooled?

Before The Boy was born, we already decided to take as much time off as possible.  Especially with two kids and one being a 2 year old, we decided to take 9 months off between both of us.  When we made that decision, I already planning on different activities to do with The Girl. 
I tried to create a mini classroom to stimulate her daycare.  She was used to a certain schedule and I really would like to continue that schedule.  So I stocked up on so much stuff, you would think she was going to be home schooled for years instead of the time we initially decided on.  I mainly tried to get as much arts and crafts supplies I could get my hands on.  I also signed her up with different activities including football.  Yes football, I figured the kids will run around and wear themselves out.   
My first attempt to school was a painting project.  I was excited to find markers type paints.  They are less messy than the traditional paints but still had the similar affect.

If you have any ideas to keep a 2 year old occupied, I’m open!

  1. It's nice that you're having lots of bonding time with your babies, Joy. I did this full time actually (still am a full time Mum). I just enjoyed watching the little fingers do stuff. Miss it. Favourite activities were colouring, crafts, play dough, and baking. Enjoy this precious time while you can.
