Jen — Fri, 22 Jul 2016 05:51:39 +0000

Water play… It’s a summer staple and something that’s enjoyed by kiddos of all ages. The best part is that most of the time, water play activities are incredibly easy to set-up, because let’s face it – you give most munchkins a bin of water to splash around in and they’re happy. That being said,… Read More

Backyard Waterfight

Jen — Mon, 07 Jul 2014 19:11:55 +0000

Staying with Brad’s parents in the summer always involves spending a lot of time in their gorgeous backyard, which somehow seems to lead to regular water fights. For the most part, I try to stay uninvolved, but Miss G and her Papa? Well they have some pretty good ones and today they kicked off our… Read More

Frozen Ocean Animal Rescue {salt, water, & ice play}

Jen — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 22:22:38 +0000

Gracen and I are lucky enough to have one of her little friends join us for an afternoon of play each Wednesday. They play quite well together, so I put a few things out for them to explore in advance, then step back to let them play, helping communication and sharing happen when needed. We… Read More

Sink or Float Discovery Station

Jen — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:08:10 +0000

Today as Miss G was napping, I decided I’d set out a fun station for her to discover and explore throughout the afternoon. All I knew is that I wanted it to be something simple to prepare (so much to do!), but that’s all I had. As I thought back through previous activities that Gracen… Read More

Floating Flowers… Fun for Pools, Baths, & Sensory Bins

Jen — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 09:12:35 +0000

When we went to pick up a pool noodle for Gracen’s marble run water slide, she originally fell in love with a flower-shaped noodle. While I knew it wouldn’t be the best fit for our marble run, at $1.25, I knew we would eventually figure out a way to put it to good use. It… Read More

{Simple Fun} Sink Play

Jen — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 09:06:14 +0000

I forgot how trying and time consuming this whole Kuwait documentation process is… We’re currently in the throws of police clearances, medical tests, notarizations, and phone calls, which isn’t all that fun. Add in a very busy, wanting-to-be-on-the-go toddler, and it’s that much more difficult. Today, between Embassy calls and trips to the police… Read More

Marble Run Water Slide

Jen — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 20:45:05 +0000

When I found this huge jar of marbles sitting in the closet of Brad’s childhood bedroom, I knew they had to be used for something fun. I immediately thought of these two posts and knew that Miss G would love exploring a marble run. While Grandma Charlotte’s pool noodles didn’t have holes down the centres… Read More

Cork Sail Boats {With Sparkly Sails}

Jen — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 06:58:43 +0000

Oh my goodness. Miss G and I had so much fun with this little project this afternoon. The best part is that it was completely impromptu. She wanted ‘to craft’ as she always says, and when digging through our craft supply drawer, came across a little bag of corks we scored at our last trip… Read More

Simple Outdoor Fun: Painting Sidewalk Chalk Shapes With Water

Jen — Mon, 06 May 2013 06:20:29 +0000

While we’ve done plenty of regular mess-free painting on our sidewalks and fence, today Gracen asked if I’d draw her something to paint. While maybe not as open-ended as I’d usually aim for, I do find that sometimes she prefers having a jumping off point, so I drew an assortment of shapes on the ground… Read More

An Afternoon of Indoor Fishing

Jen — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 06:09:53 +0000

This afternoon while walking along the river, Gracen noticed a man sitting down on the rocks fishing and was fascinated. The questions started rolling in and once we’d lost sight of him, all she wanted to know was when we’d see him again. Luckily, on our way back we found him just where we’d left… Read More
