It is a place where you can find happy colorful, and FUN ideas for kids and inspirational parenting advice and tools for moms. Being modern moms, we know your time is in short supply. Here, we gather the best ideas to create, celebrate, and enjoy those magical moments with your kids, saving you hours of sorting through endless websites and inspiration boards.
Our projects are SIMPLE and easy to follow along even for a non-crafty mom. Our goal is to foster a love of learning in kids and keep them entertained and interested at the same time.
As your child grows and moves through different developmental stages, they experience different educational needs.

Need something to fight boredom and reduce screen-time? We have hundreds of fun and education printable activities that your kids would live.
Creativity is about imagination, play, and fun. It’s also about everyday joys and creating memories. We hope to inspire and share ways for you to do all this and perhaps surprise you along the way.
Most of our activities are specifically designed for children to be able to work independently. We help work at home parents carve out focus time, equip teachers to keep students of diverse abilities engaged and working and support caregivers with high quality screen-free activities that empower, entertain and educate.
We support busy parents, teachers & caregivers by providing educational, enriching and self-directed kids activities that empower the next generation to value and foster creativity in themselves, diversity in their community and empathy for their peers.

I am a 31-year-old Colombian American teacher. That grew up in a big family full of affection and values. Second of three sisters. Cheerleading fan. Married and full of dreams and desires to build a better world.
My experience as a teacher starts in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. Where I participated in multiple internships, teaching to kids from all the ages and social contexts. From children with vulnerabilities to private schools and alternative teaching projects.
In the United States, I started to work in private childhood centers in 2012 taking care of the small kids but realized that Montessori learning methodology fits my teaching model.
Currently, I am a Montessori lead teacher for the last five years. As a contributor to Cute Rascals blog, I supervise all the Montessori related activities to ensure they align with the Montessori philosophy that fosters rigorous, self-motivated growth for children and adolescents in all areas of their development, with a goal of nurturing each child's natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect.
I consider myself as a young but experienced teacher who sees in children the reason for joy and the possibility to build the best future for our society.
