Welcome to Day Fourteen of 31 days of Sensory Play. Sweet potato was always on the menu growing up. We had them mashed into our white potatoes, cooked with yam, banana and dumplins as a side dish or my favourite in soup. Sweet potato is a savoury item to me. Meeting my husband completely changed my view of sweet… View Post

That usually means we will go through lots of… View Post
Welcome to Day Thirteen of 31 days of Sensory Play. I’ve talked before about often children need to run around to sit still. Getting to play activities is so much easier when they are ready to do them. Instead of just charging around the house which is often their preferred default option I like to add a little bit… View Post
Welcome to Day Twelve of 31 days of Sensory Play. When the kids come home from school they are beat! Yours too, I see.

Welcome to Day Nine of 31 days of Sensory Play. The BG really didn’t like to touch soft, squishy and mushy things. We’d noticed it but it was becoming a problem.

Welcome to Day Six of 31 days of Sensory Play. Start a sensory collection that you can use many times. The sticky leftover bread dough was a large no longer used pot. It’s where we stir together our playdough and it’s large enough to collect all our paint things. It lives in the kitchen. It’s so much easier having this… View Post
