Mr 10 months loves to crawl all over the room so I made a new sensory track for him to explore on his travels. I placed coloured craft sticks, log slices and mosaic tiles into heavy duty resealable bags and used bubble wrap & corrugated card recycled from our @obevolv packaging. Everything is taped in a ladder design on the floor with a wide masking tape. The bubble wrap was most interesting for Mr 10 months and he loved scratching the bumpy surface. He explored the other surfaces with his fingers and enjoyed crawling very quickly down the whole track I love that I can reuse the resealable bags for future play ideas my children inspire

My son discovered our vertical blinds and started to pull on them so I set up this, hopefully more inviting play area along the window. ❤ I tied rainbow scarves onto elastic and then tied on our wooden rings with ribbon. So far Mr 10 months loves pulling on the rings and scarves and putting them into his mouth. Miss 5 loves running through the scarves onto the deck which her brother finds hilarious!

Sensory bags are an easy and mess-free way to introduce sensory play to your baby or toddler. Here's a simple spring inspired sensory bag that you can create right now! (If it’s spring where you live )
•••••
You'll need: a gallon ziplock bag, water, packing tape, flowers and leaves
1️⃣ Collect flowers and plants from outside or use fake ones (E loved going on a "flower hunt" to collect these)
2️⃣ Place the flowers inside a gallon ziplock bag and fill about 1/4 full with water
3️⃣ Remove as much air as possible and seal shut
4️⃣ Use packing tape to secure the bag closed and attach the bag to the floor or window (I like to fold one side of the tape in for easy removal)
•••••
When the play is done, remove the contents inside and turn the bag inside out to dry and reuse!
This activity should be supervised.
New how-to for these texture bags in my stories, saved to how-to highlights. Thank you to those of you who requested these step by steps. We are having fun re-visiting some of our favourite play ideas! I listed the materials used in my story, however there are so many possibilities for bag fillers. You could add flowers, sand, stones, hay or craft materials such as buttons, rhinestones, foam stickers etc etc Mr 7 months preferred the fillers that could be moved around in the bag, but you could also experiment with fillers that are fun for little feet to walk on! We may revisit this play idea again when Mr 8 months is a little older! The best thing about these bags is infants can explore them freely without any risk of choking and mouthing hazards. He was, however fully supervised as he played ❤ #creativeplay #texturebags #sensoryplay #grossmotor #finemotor #babyplayideas #infantplayideas #reggioinspired #playfulkiwis #nzece #kiwiece #reggioinfants #explorations #sensorylearning #handsonlearning #learningenvironment #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhood
Baby Ball Run Had to share this super simple, super fun ball run I made on the weekend!!l
Mr 13 months has been really interested in rolling, posting and chasing balls around the room. This play idea ticked all the boxes!
I cleaned a small drainpipe and strapped it around our @obevolv table with stretchy ribbon, (elastic would work too). I used a wide sellotape to hold the ribbon in place on the drainpipe.
The stretchy ribbon meant the children could move the drainpipe back & forth and up & down, without it falling off the table.
Both children, and their parents, had a great time posting balls down the shoot and collecting them at the bottom. Miss 5 wanted to roll them all down at the same time, while Mr 13 months preferred rolling one ball down at a time. Then Miss 5 tried posting objects that weren't balls down the shoot to see what would happen. It was a great science experiment for her!
Honestly, I didn't realise how fun this play idea would be! I would recommend it for any age. Sometimes the simplest ideas can be the most engaging, for everyone!

We know just how much you guys love cardboard. And when I saw this adorable little ball run, I knew you would totally dig it - Please see our stories for a mini video of it in action!

DIY Ball Tracker. Alfred was given a beautiful wooden tracker by his grandparents but the small cars still end up in his mouth. Until he stops putting things in his mouth, I wanted him to have a chance to use a tracker and I didn’t want to pay over $80 for a larger sized one! I thought he’d like one with a clear hole as he loves putting things in holes. Thankfully I already had things at home to make one - 2 x cardboard boxes (I used nappy boxes), 1 x poster storage roll, and some bread ties that come with freezer bags. I will put up photos of how I made it in my stories and then add this to my highlights.
Tracking toys are good for:
• Focusing on a moving object
• Preparing the eyes for reading and writing
• Hand-eye coordination when putting the ball through the hole
He tracks movement everyday in real life e.g watching children ride bikes or scooters at the park (being at a distance makes this much easier), watching our dogs run back and forth while playing, watching balls roll around on our wooden floorboards, simply watching people walking! Do you have tracking toys?

Atividade de coordenação motora fina.
Essa atividade é para desenvolver as habilidades motoras finas, que envolvem o uso do músculo menor das mãos.
Desenvolver essa habilidade é essencial para a realização de afazeres cotidianos como tarefas de autocuidado (se vestir, abrir a lancheira, escovar os dentes, usar os talheres) e habilidades acadêmicas (desenhar, escrever, colorir, além de recortar e colar). Nessa atividade vamos trabalhar a integração bilateral, o bebê vai precisar usar as duas mãos. Onde uma mão coloca os canudos no buraco e a outra mão ajuda a estabilizar o pote.
Lara tem 14 meses e começamos essa atividade quando ela tinha 12.
Ela gosta de colocar os canudos um com cada mão ou tentar colocar mais de um de uma vez. Deixe o seu bebê explorar também!!. Materiais:
Pote de batata Pringle’s ou qualquer outro tubo com tampa.
Canudos coloridos.
Faça um furo com a ponta de uma faca ou estilete na tampa do tubo.
Prontinho, agora é só aproveitar a brincadeira. .

〰️ WEATHER SENSORY BOTTLES 〰️ I couldn't help but do a Throwback Thursday to when Little Miss was 4 months old
.
Sensory bottles are great for young babies and toddlers to experience objects that may be a choking hazard otherwise.
.
Through the bottle they can feel the weight of objects, hear the sounds different objects make (or don't) when they roll, shake or bash the bottle and also see the different colours and textures (shiny, matte etc).
.
These bottles are weather themed which has been great for Little Miss to experience whilst Big Sis and I talk about what weather they represent and what the weather is like outside.
.
You can see a close up of what's in them on my IGTV
.
These bottles are candy bottles from @kmartaus
.
