MOM HACK MONDAY: COLOR CLOCK 🎨🕐🎉

First, SAVE this hack so you don't forget about it and FOLLOW @wingitwithwhit for more mom hacks and kids activities! 🎉😉✨

This hack is a lifesaver for us over the summer! It helps my kids know what to expect for the day and keeps me saneeee! 😅🙌☀️

All you need is an analog clock and some Expo markers! ⏰🖍️👍

You can color code the minutes of an hour using your minute hand or color code your schedule per hour with the hour hand! (Like we did in the video!)

The best part about using the expo markers for this hack is that you can erase the colors and create a new schedule every day if you need to! 🤯🥳

MOM HACK MONDAY: TV TOKENS 📺🎉🙌

For all of the parents trying to reduce screen time this summer, here is a great hack! Make TV tokens to EARN screen time!

Comment "TV TOKENS" and I'll send you the exact items we used to create ours! 🙌🎉🫶

Here's the tokens we have for our system👇

1️⃣ Homework Token: This can be earned by working on our "Morning Menus" (see my "Summer Scholars" reel for info), working on homework from school, doing educational apps on our iPad, etc!
📚🧠🎓

2️⃣ Chore Token: This is earned by completing their daily/weekly chores! (Putting away dishes & laundry, making their beds, cleaning their rooms, etc!) 📃🧺🛏️✨

3️⃣ Love Token: This is earned when the kids are getting along really well, sharing, doing kind things for one another, etc. They can also earn this one out in public if they do something for someone else (hold the door for them, help them pick something up, etc.
💕🎉🙌

Now you might be asking, do they get any TV time outside of this? The answer is, sometimes! If we are doing a family movie night together, the kids don't have to earn that because it's family time!

But why have the kids EARN screen time?
Here are just a few reasons 👇👇

▪️Promotes Self-Regulation: Kids learn to manage their screen time responsibly, understanding that it is a reward rather than an entitlement. This helps in developing self-control and delayed gratification.

▪️Encourages Positive Behavior: By linking screen time to desirable behaviors or tasks, such as homework, chores, or physical activity, children are motivated to engage in these activities to earn their tokens. This reinforces positive habits and responsibility.

▪️Teaches Goal Setting: The token system helps children understand the concept of setting and achieving goals. They learn to plan and work towards earning their rewards.

▪️Balances Activities: It encourages a balance between screen time and other important activities like reading, playing outside, or family time, contributing to a well-rounded daily routine.

MOM HACK MONDAY: HATCH LIGHT

First, SAVE this post so you don’t lose it + COMMENT below for a link! 🎉🫶

Okay this mom find has been my favoriteeeeee thus far. I didn’t discover it until after my first kiddo was over a year old and I wish I had had it when she was a newborn!

This Hatch Light is a night light/sound machine/routine builder all in one!

Here are some of my favorite features:
▪️I can control everything from my phone-no more sneaking into the kids bedroom because I forgot to turn on the night light 😅

▪️I can set timers/time to rise for my kids for quiet time, nap time, or a morning alarm ⏳⏲️

▪️ I can increase (or decrease) the brightness and sound whenever! Loud thunderstorm coming? No problem, I can turn the sound machine up! 🎉🙌

▪️The new generation has a digital clock to introduce time to your kiddos! ⏰👍

▪️It plugs into a wall so I’m not wasting money on batteries! 🤑💰

▪️ Small + lightweight enough I can pack it easily for family trips! ✔️🙌

I wish I’d known about this sooner but I’m so happy we have one now! 😅

This is one of the easiest activities to put together! 🙌 Match the dots is a great way to practice colors! Even if your child knows colors, they’ll still enjoy the matching aspect!

Sorting colors teaches a child to notice similarities and differences and how to categorize. These are skills they will need as they get older and start to learn even harder things! ♥️

Happy matching!

These were your favorites for the month of March!!

We LOVE our snackle box. We take that thing everywhere (if you haven’t noticed from stories on IG 🤣)

We also take our pill organizer almost everywhere. It’s so convenient to have.

We use our paper roll multiple times a week! It’s a great thing to have for impromptu activities!

And last but not least—games! We play these games at least two to three times a week for our morning activities! The brain quest cards are even small enough we can take them with us for car rides! 🎉

These are all staples at our house! Which one is your favorite?
