Pin it We have been putting paint (and other liquids, like hair gel with food coloring) in ziploc bags to play for years now, and it is always fun – especially since I discovered the trick of taping them to the table with a sheet of white paper underneath to make the colors pop! [...] Pin it Sensory play with rice is one of two-year-old Lily’s favorite activities! Colored rice is a super easy to make, and I’ve found that it lasts a long time – we only have to sweep/vacuum a little bit after every play session. Of course, it’s a different story if you have a kid [...] Pin it Playing in water after a rainstorm. My kids LOVE water. Playing with water – watching it in a stream, feeling it on our street after a storm, playing at the kitchen sink, filling containers with water and using syringes to transfer the water from one container to another – will [...] Pin it Today I’m sharing my favorite post form 2011, along with several other wonderful kid bloggers! I had a hard time picking my favorite, but our baking soda and vinegar trays are a definite favorite – both in our house and according to pinterest and blog stats! We all love the magic fizzing, [...] Pin it We recently received a package filled with packing peanuts – a real novelty for the kids.

This post at What Do We Do All Day was a timely reminder on a gloomy afternoon! Emma surprised [...] Pin it About a year ago, Team Mom sent me some of Spin Master’s Moon Dough to try out. We loved the texture and its ability to mold beautifully, but it was super crumbly (read the original review here). Well, Spin Master listened to their reviews and changed their dough recipe! Then they [...] Pin it Some of the best childhood sensory play is free: Dirt, grass, stones, and… paper trash! I let my kids play in the paper recycling about once a month. They love it – and they learn a lot. About textures, Cause and effect, gravity, And the importance of cleaning up [...] Pin it I pulled this activity out for Emma and Lily one rainy and cold day while Johnny was in preschool. They had a blast playing with the marbles and play dough, and have requested to repeat the activity several times since! Johnny is actually playing with the two items together as I type, [...] Pin it It has rained a lot here lately, and on one of those grey days Emma asked if she could play with vinegar and baking soda. Actually, she said vinegar and flour, but she mean baking soda (she wanted to see the fizz effect of mixing an acid and base). She was pretty [...] |
