Some of my favorite posts linked up last week wouldn't fit into a particular theme, so this week is just a highlight of my favorites! Enjoy!

Happily Ever Mom shared a wonderful idea about how her daughter kept a connection to her father when the he had to be away for work. Such an easy thing, but I bet it meant the world to her daughter!

Shaving cream that glows in the dark? One more reason there will be a black light under the tree this holiday! (Where Imagination Grows)

I had a similar idea tucked away (deep) in my mind for closer to the holidays, but My Nearest and Dearest beat me to it with this fun and simple jingle bell bracelet or anklet. Pretty much anything that makes noise is a hit for my daughter!

Mummy Musings and Mayhem shares a month worth of play-based learning she did with the kiddos in her care. Kids learn best through learning and there was a lot of learning going on here! Warning: Try not to be jealous of her amazing backyard set-up!

Family traditions don't have to be complicated. Rediscovered Families tells you why these traditions are so important...and adds some suggestions for starting your own!

Teach Me Mommy gave her daughter a simple magnifying glass and watched as she explored the backyard with a whole new perspective!

This book nook is simple to make (we use this technique for forts!) and offers a cozy place for snuggling up with a book. From Craftulate guest posting at B-Inspired Mama

Seedlings Nursery School made a bird feeder for local wildlife that was also helping the kids with fine motor skills. Can't beat that!

Gift of Curiosity plays this simple "What's Missing?" game with her children. It helps with memory, attention, and cognitive development and there's no prep time - use whatever you have within reach if you must!
