Oobleck, goop, goo, cornstarch paste… Whatever you call it, we’re huge fans! The cornstarch and water mixture has been a staple in our play repertoire for a long time now and it never fails to captivate those who dare to dig their hands in. With Halloween having just come and gone, we’ve played with it… Read More

Oh my word… I’m so glad we finally got around to trying this! I pinned the idea over a year ago and I knew it was going to be fun, but I had no idea just how much Miss G would love it and how much play it would bring about (just wait until we… Read More

Gracen and I got everything ready yesterday afternoon and had it all sitting by the backyard to make our early start time a little easier this morning. During our prep, Grae was so excited she could barely contain herself. She gathered sensory bin… Read More

Pretend Popsicle Play

Jen — Thu, 23 May 2013 06:49:20 +0000

Knowing Grae’s love of popsicles, my mom sent her home from the Okanagan with a couple of new popsicle mould sets the other day. While I knew she’d be excited, what I wasn’t expecting was for two new popsicle moulds to keep her happily playing in her rear-facing car seat for at least 1/2 of… Read More

Exploring with Magic Potions

Jen — Sat, 04 May 2013 01:48:51 +0000

This afternoon the sun was out and I decided to set up something really fun for Grae to explore and experiment with in the backyard. The set up was pretty simple… Several differently shaped jars and medicine bottles filled with coloured vinegar (we used gel food colouring), a couple of small jars of baking soda,… Read More

After this morning’s mud soup fun down at the beach, I decided it would be fun to set up a little mud kitchen for Miss G to play with in the backyard. Now I don’t know if you too have seen the beautiful and elaborate mud kitchens that often pass through my Pinterest feed, but… 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

Sparkly Foam Sensory Tray

Jen — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 05:03:42 +0000

Do you ever set up an activity that you think will be a total hit and it just kind of flops? Or if it doesn’t flop, it just doesn’t take off the way you thought it would? That was the case with this sensory tray. After a Sunday morning adventure and a good afternoon nap,… Read More

Snow Dough {for 4}

Jen — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 05:17:26 +0000

I loved this simple variation on the usual cloud dough, and today I simplified it even further for some messy morning sensory play with the cousins. To create some “snow dough” of our own, I simply made our usual cloud/moon dough and dumped in a couple of small bottles of silvery light blue glitter. A… Read More
