Easter Egg Hunt Sensory Bin

Jen — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 07:17:29 +0000

With this upcoming Easter being the first that Sam will actually get to participate in the festivities, I figured we’d better give him a chance to practice his egg hunting skills if he’s to stand a chance against his quick and experienced big sister. Well, that or we had 45 minutes to kill between arriving… Read More

Exploring Hook-and-Loop Fasteners

Jen — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 09:21:28 +0000

When Miss G was born full-term the day after my due date, making sure she met milestones reasonably ‘on time’ wasn’t something that was even on my radar… We simply trusted that she’d develop new skills as she was supposed to and celebrated them when they came along. With Sam, our little preemie babe born… Read More

Baby Play Dough

Jen — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 07:46:34 +0000

If you know me well, you know that my love for play dough runs deep. I’ve loved it for ages… It was a total lifesaver while babysitting and nannying as a teenager and university student, it was a staple in my Kindergarten classrooms when teaching, and it’s always out and available in our house now… Read More

Water Bead Play for Babies

Jen — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 05:51:49 +0000

I love, love, love water beads and because Sam absolutely loves anything big or small that is ‘ball’ shaped, I knew he’d love them too. The trouble is that we’re still very firmly planted in the put everything in the mouth stage. Old food bits on the floor, dry crunchy leaves, shoes, tissues, sand…it all… Read More

Discovery Baskets for Babies and Toddlers

Jen — Tue, 03 Jan 2017 08:08:18 +0000

Miss G and I have been having such fun putting together fun little discovery baskets for our sweet Sam to discover and explore. He loves them because it means that he gets to put his curious little hands all over all kinds of things he may not often have the opportunity to explore, and I… Read More

DIY Sensory Blocks for Baby

Jen — Mon, 14 Nov 2016 06:54:20 +0000

Goodness… I’m pretty sure I put making these simple little sensory blocks on my to do list about 3 months ago. It’s ridiculous that it’s taken me this long to get to them given the fact that the entire project took about 10 minutes start to finish, but feel like that’s just my current state… Read More

{Baby Play} Exploring Hot and Cold

Jen — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:25:35 +0000

Oh goodness… Have this little guy and I ever been having fun lately! When Miss G was this same age, we were in a major state of transition {hello packing up an entire life overseas, moving home to Canada, staying with family for several months, and then resettling in a different city} and doing fun… Read More

Baby Sitting Practice Using Sensory Bags

Jen — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 07:32:35 +0000

We did it! At 10 months actual age and 7 months corrected, our little preemie babe born at 27 weeks is sitting up independently! It took some time obviously, but my goodness – is being able to sit up ever a game changer! And not only for him and his play either… For me too-… Read More

Polka Dot Sensory Bag for Babies

Jen — Sun, 17 Jul 2016 17:21:36 +0000

This afternoon, with Brad outside mowing the lawn and Miss G being his water / sweat rag girl {hah!!}, I thought Sam and I would try something fun while doing our daily tummy time play. Since our tummy time painting was a hit a few days ago, I figured we’d give a sensory bag… Read More

Tummy Time Painting

Jen — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 18:40:59 +0000

This little bub. Gosh, he melts my heart. At 8 months old {and 5 months corrected} now, we’re working hard on building his strength and motor skills and he’s already come so far! According to his physiotherapist, the number one thing we can do at this point to help his development along is tummy time.… Read More
