This has been a crazy and stressful school year for me, and as a result, I haven’t been blogging much. I’ve missed it, and I’m going to try to do more blog posts in 2020. This activity is one Buddy and I did last summer, but I haven’t gotten around to blogging about it yet. […]
This week’s Water Wednesday was the rainiest day of the summer. It poured all day! Fortunately, I had planned a water activity that worked inside or outside. I originally got the idea of a water pouring station from Busy Toddler’s blog. Buddy loves to pour water, and his favorite bath toy is a cup for […]
This week, I wanted to try a new sensory activity for Try Something New Thursday. I first saw the idea of playing with cornstarch and water at Fun at Home with Kids. I knew this activity would be messy, but I was willing to deal with the mess to have a little fun. I mixed some […]
Buddy announced last weekend he wanted to “do an activity”, which is his way of saying he wanted to try something a little different. After talking through some ideas, we decided to pull out our cloud dough. We did our digging for dinosaurs activity with cloud dough about a year ago, and we haven’t done […]
Buddy has always loved sensory bins, and it had been awhile since we’ve done one. So when I saw the idea for a sensory bin with animals and letters on Happy Toddler Playtime’s blog, I was excited to do it. I was especially excited that I already had all of the necessary materials: black beans, […]
Buddy loves sensory bins, so I’m always excited when I see a new sensory bin idea. When I saw the Ice Cream Sensory Bin on Fantastic Fun and Learning’s blog, I knew Buddy would love it! He loves playing with cotton balls, and he loves ice cream, so it’s perfect! I set up the bin by […]
Buddy loves dinosaurs, but until recently, we didn’t have many to play with at our house. However, he got these in his Easter basket, and now we have a lot! He was so excited to see his new dinosaurs, and he couldn’t wait to play! *Disclaimer- this post contains affiliate links for your convenience. As an […]
Buddy has been working on letters at preschool, so I’ve been keeping an eye out for fun alphabet activities to do at home. When I saw the idea of a magnetic alphabet sensory bin on Busy Toddler’s blog, I knew Buddy would love it. He plays with his construction site sensory bin all the time, […]
Buddy still loves sensory bins, especially the construction site sensory bin that I blogged about here. He pulls out the bin of black beans and construction vehicles at least twice a week. When I saw the shape sorting sensory bin on Stir The Wonder’s blog, I knew it would be an easy adaption of our […]
Buddy is really into construction vehicles right now, so I decided to do another construction sensory bin for this week’s Time To Read Tuesday. (Read about our other construction site sensory bin with shredded paper here.) I checked out the book Mighty, Mighty Construction Site from our library to go with our sensory bin. Buddy […]
