Tin Foil Boat Float

Jen — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 05:27:59 +0000

While I don’t usually bring activities along on vacation with us, I knew a classic tin foil boat float would be an awesome way for Miss G and I to spend one of Sam’s nap times {not to mention that it’s a pretty perfect fit given the fact that we’re staying directly across from the… Read More

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

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

Okay, so I’m fairly certain we’ve gone off the deep end with this LEGO minifigure mini bath station, but hey – Miss G loved it. In fact, she thought it was the cutest, silliest, most fun thing ever!

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

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

{Pretend Play} Bubble Tea Shop

Jen — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 04:42:59 +0000

Ever since the very first time we played with water beads, I’ve had a pretend play bubble tea station on my mind. I just can’t help it… It may be that we live in a city that has a bubble tea shop every couple of blocks, but the squishy, shiny beads make me think of tapioca… Read More
