LittleBabyBum on Youtube

I just want to tell other mommies about this great channel on YouTube! It includes every nursery rhyme I knew growing up and I even learned a few new ones watching with my daughter. They come in individual videos or a compilation of videos amounting to different times. Like there are videos 15 minutes long or even 2 hours depending on how occupied you want your child to be. I know some parents will be opposed to putting their baby in front of a TV or computer screen but my daughter loves them and she is learning from them.

When the song for If You're Happy and You Know It comes on she does the actions with them like clapping her hands and stomping her feet. When the song BINGO comes up she claps for the letters the eliminate and follows along with them. When Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes comes on she points to her head. Not only is she learning important things because of the songs but she looks forward to me putting it on for her and sometimes we sit and practice them together.

I do love this channel and I recommend it especially to younger children.

You can see on the YouTube page how they have playlists ready for you to play or just pick a compilation. There are lots of educational songs teaching the alphabet, colours, numbers, and body parts.

Here is what the channel looks like when you enter the page. Fun, colourful, and educational I really do love this page!

Toys for Toddlers

Toys can be a crucial part of a toddlers development of the brain and the senses. My daughter recently turned a year old and loves to play and explore everything around her. Books can be a great way to stimulate the mind, my daughter often brings books from her playroom and gives them to me to read to her. Pointing to the words as you read will help them follow along I've caught my girl pretending to read a few times and pointing as she babbles. Monkey see, monkey do 🙈. I love when she picks up on things that I do and it helps you see that your little one is on the right track. Boxes that helps babies identify and experiment with different shapes and colours helps children as well. It builds problem solving skills, allows them to explore, and concentrate on the task at hand. The red toy with the shapes has an outline of the blocks in the...

Limiting Screen Time

This post is dedicated to kids (and parents) with technology addictions. I have been struggling lately with a toddler who seems to be addicted to the iPad. She wants it in the morning, afternoon, and night; even sometimes falling asleep with it in her hand. Why are we struggling with limiting screen time? Disclosure: I do not own this image Parents need to stop using technology as a way to distract their kids. It always seems to be the easiest solution to get kids to be quiet. Parents need some quiet time to do some work, give the kid an iPad to distract them. Parent too tired to play with kids, hand them the iPad. Parent wants some alone time, give the kid an iPad. It's unfortunate but its true but sometimes we do not have the energy to be "on" all the time and it seems to be the quickest fix to the problem. Kids tend to copy what they see like they say "monkey see monkey do". When kids see their parent always glued to their phone, laptops, etc. Is it...

BRIDAL SHOWER!

My sister Ayah is getting married soon and as a surprise to her I planned her bridal shower and invited her friends. It took place May 1st, two weeks before the wedding. The colour theme for the shower is pinks, white, and gray. Originally I was going to make it a Beauty and the Beast theme for her favourite Disney princess but it seems harder than a colour theme and I was on a budget. My sister Iman can over yesterday and did some baking, it took longer than expected to bake eclairs and cookies but they turned out beautiful. Here are Iman's not so famous eclairs, they always turn out delicious! They didn't rise as much as we had hoped but they are still very tasty. Just some beautifully decorated sugar cookies! It was messy but th...
