St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Fun

We had so much fun with our St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin!  I love to watch the two kids interact, as well as find their own ideas for how the bin’s materials can be used for play! How to organize themed bins? You may notice that this is {almost} the same St. Patrick’s Day bin…

fall sensory bin {with homemade pumpkin play dough!}

Fall is a beautiful season.  Leaves, pumpkins, gourds.  So much to see and learn and explore through a child’s eyes. My children absolutely loved this sensory bin!!  I was so excited, as this is the first one that May could really join John.  I purposely made this bin completely safe for her (no choking hazards!)…

Tot School – Letter O

We focus on a letter every week and do fun activities based on that letter.  This week, I didn’t set out “Tot Trays” on our shelf for my son to play with — our setup is in the kitchen and my daughter has been throwing the contents everywhere.  Also, my son is not engaged with…

sensory play with gelatin

{This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.}  Our sensory play this week was inspired by the Fourth of July. (Well, it’s blue, and that is about all that is related, so it’s a stretch.) And I hid some dinosaurs in it. (For no other reason besides I had them.) I found this…

16 Sensory Bin Ideas

I didn’t know what a “Sensory Bin” was until about a year ago.  Simply put, it is a bin full of fun, sensory exploration for your little one.  They usually have a “base” (of rice, beans, etc), but they certainly don’t need to!  And they can be “themed”, but again, that is optional, too!  Also,…

The Little Lamb {learning through literature}

My son loves all of the books written by Judy Dunn with photographs by Phoebe Dunn.  These books were written in the 1970s and I remember them from my childhood.  The photographs are stunning and simple.  They always include a cute and believable storyline about a young child and their journey with a lovable little…
