So Kane wants to write (another) book… As you have probably gathered the setting is at the hospital, in this case the Alberta Children’s Hospital.

Click with Kids: Underwater Camera
Last summer, I bought an underwater camera for the kids to play around with. Unbeknownst to me, it is a huge pain in the butt to get those underwater cameras developed.

Mav has been really interested in working on this with me over the last couple of weeks. With it being so busy around this time of year (forContinue reading “Click with Kids: 5 Senses”
Click with Kids: Word Search
Click with Kids Project #3 We’ve been hard at work searching for letters. Here are a couple of the ones Kane and Mav found… Did you figure out which letters they were representing?
