Snowman Building Creative Table

Jen — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 11:10:44 +0000

Last year’s Christmas tree decorating creative table just may be Gracen’s most talked about activity of all time. She’s literally talked about it multiple times each month for a year straight now. I’m not sure what has made that particular activity so loved, but we’ll definitely be doing it again this year. In the meantime, I… Read More

Sweet & Stretchy {EDIBLE} Marshmallow Dough

Jen — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 06:38:54 +0000

While Gracen napped this afternoon, I decided to finally put the bag of marshmallows I’ve been carting around for the last couple of weeks to good use. And oh my word, am I ever glad I did! I originally came across this post via Pinterest and immediately fell in love with the idea of marshmallow… Read More

Building Sugar Cube Structures

Jen — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 06:28:52 +0000

Upon returning from my first ever weekend (and overnight, actually) away from Miss G, she immediately asked if we could open the last of her activity bags. She explained that she had already opened all of the other bags, but had saved the ‘bonus bag’ to do with me once I returned home. She pulled… Read More

Contact Paper Egg Decorating

Jen — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:26:14 +0000

I set up this little creative table for Miss G this morning and she was so over the top excited about it that she could barely contain herself. It was very simple to set up, but still took too long for Miss G’s likes. All I had to do is cut out a few large… Read More

Face Painting Station

Jen — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 07:55:33 +0000

I thought of putting this little station together for Gracen to explore months and months ago, but only got to it today. Perhaps today just felt like a face painting sort of day? I don’t know… Either way, I set out her step stool turned toddler bench in front of our closet mirror (of course… Read More

Contact Paper, Tissue, Sequins, Confetti, & Glitter: A Creative Table

Jen — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:07:43 +0000

This creative table set up had a good long run in our house… It’s been worked on day in and out for over a week now, and I’m sure Gracen would still be adding to it if there was any sticky space left on the contact paper. When it began, it looked like this…… Read More

Berry Jello Play Dough

Jen — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 07:22:14 +0000

A couple of days ago, Miss G and I experimented with making a couple of changes to our scented Kool-Aid play dough. I don’t know if Kool-Aid is just on the way out (surely it should be ☺), but our grocery store only stocks a few colours. So as an alternative, we decided to give… Read More

Valentine’s Creative Table

Jen — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:03:43 +0000

One of the things I’ve been doing to encourage independent play {and creativity} in recent months is keeping a fun, inviting, and well-stocked ‘creative table’ for Gracen. All it is is her little table (or sometimes a tray or even the floor) with an assortment of materials available for her free use. Sometimes it’s paper… Read More

‘Sewing’ Station {a creative table idea}

Jen — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 08:28:14 +0000

For the last few days, Miss G has really been enjoying the new set-up she has happening at her creative table (for a little bit of background info on the whole idea behind her creative table, click here). While it would probably be more appropriate to call this a beading and lacing station, Gracen saw… Read More

Christmas Tree Decorating Creative Table

Jen — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:43:52 +0000

As much as I’d love to have an entire room dedicated to play and discovery, our little two bedroom house simply doesn’t have the space. So instead of an actual playroom, we’ve taken various playroom elements and created play spaces around the house so that Gracen always has plenty of opportunities to create, explore, and… Read More
