Learning about Wendat and Jesuits at Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons

This summer when we visited Wendake in Quebec, we learned about the Huron Wendat people and how their lifestyle and lives changed after making contact with the French Jesuits in the 1600s. Our curiosity led us to Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons in Ontario.

Learn new skills with Klutz Kits

We love Klutz Kits because each kit comes with everything we need to get started on the art or craft right away! My children have explored a variety of Klutz kits over the years and they like the simple to understand instructions with step-by-step illustrations and pictures. Kids will be able to manage most of the activities independently. 

DK books on Flora and Fauna

We enjoy books that encourage the love for flora and fauna, as it helps us slow down and be thankful for every creation that is around us. DK books, An Anthology of Intriguing Animals and Smithsonian Flora, would make thoughtful gifts, as it would be appreciated all year round. 

Museum of Illusions

We were thrilled to explore Toronto's newest attraction, Museum of Illusions, located at 132 Front Street East close to St. Lawrence Market. Museum of Illusions first opened in Zagreb, Croatia in 2015, and now they have franchises in cities such as New York, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, and Berlin. It was mesmerizing to experience the trickery of our senses at the different displays and interactive spaces.
