Coding is something that I wished I learned more of in school. I love that they are teaching coding at a young age now, because it will give kids a leg up in the technological world that they are growing up in. Plus, it is so much fun for them to see how the code they are writing is affecting the machines that they are working with. So I was thrilled when we had the opportunity to work with Unruly Splats to check out their new programmable floor tiles and coding game for kids!

Today we had the opportunity to check out a new augmented reality app that allows kids to enter a beloved children’s book, while they play along with the characters.
I believe that it is so important to teach our kids about tolerance and accepting the differences in ourselves and others.

Today’s book explores this important topic through color mixing, with a fun story about colors coming together to create new possibilities. I decided to bring it to life with a list of fun color mixing activities for kids!
