Cardboard Car Park . YOU guys asked for it; so here it is! I asked on my stories a little while ago what kind of DIY with cardboard you wanted to see next. And A LOT of you said parking garage. I had way too much fun putting this together this afternoon . I don’t consider myself very good at crafty things that you do with your hands; I can’t knit, or draw very well... I don’t really have the patience. But glueing together a bunch of cardboard to make something new to play with is totally my jam! And the look on the kids faces when they saw the end result made it even better. Of course, I had to add some colour-matching to the parking spaces because = . . . If you make something fun out of cardboard, tag me and I will share it in my stories!

Happy Monday my friend ☀️. I hope that wherever you are in the world, the sun is shining. Not just outside (as amazing as a sunny day is), but on the inside, in your life and in your heart. . . The sun was both shining outside here in the nation’s capital, and is also shining on the inside of me. I was so very touched by your comments on my last post. I am also starting a new business venture and I’m so very excited about it. The sun is shining here, for me today at the thought of new and exciting changes happening. I hope it is shining for you too knowing that I’m here cheering you on; in life, love, parenthood. All of it. ☀️ . . . This toys shelf actually looked like this all morning as we spent every single second outside in the sunshine. Wow- did it ever feel good. My soul lives for warm weather. Is the sun shining where you live☀️? . . . . . . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #learningisfun #learningthroughplay #playbased #momblog #earlychildhoodfun101 #playingislearning #earlychildhood #playmatters #playathome #invitationtoplay #homedaycare #thesunisshining #cheeringforyou

Winter decide to show it’s face here today in Ottawa (hopefully for the last time ). We went outside for about 15 minutes, everyone was grumpy (including myself ), so we came in. It was the perfect day to try out our new Active World Tray. I didn’t have anything planned ahead, so I just grabbed some coffee beans, bowls, cups, spoons, and let the kids have at it! This tray was really awesome for containing everything- we all had fun making coffee for each other, muffins, and just doing some good old scooping and dumping . Tray from @scholarschoice. . . . The coffee beans smelled amazing ☕️- adding to our sensory experience. Have you tried them in sensory play? . . . . . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #learningisfun #learningthroughplay #playbased #momblog #earlychildhoodfun101 #playingislearning #earlychildhood #playmatters #playathome #invitationtoplay #teachersofinstagram #tufftray #tufftrayideas #sensoryplayideas

Inspired by the water wall @play_at_home_mummy made, I got hubby to whip this up for the boys this morning with some old mini coke bottles! It turned out great and will be heaps of fun. He made it so it can rest on our flisat table. Theo is sleeping but Arlo is already having fun with it! . . . . . #playathomemummy #playbasedlearning #playathome #learningathome #waterplay #diymum #recycled #recycledplasticbottles #waterplayday #flisat #playingislearning #grossmotorskills #finemotorskills #sensoryplay #sensorytable #letthembelittle #theartofchildhood #earlydevelopment #earlychildhooddevelopment #preschoolathome #keepthembusy #busytoddler #everydayplayhacks #reggiokids #sensoryplaytolearn #playideasforkids #earlylearning #stemforkids

Yesterday in Ontario, Bill 66 passed. What this means for home day care providers is that now instead of only being allowed 2 children under the age of 2 years, we will be able to have 3 children under 2 years. Also, a provider’s own children won’t count in their ratio once they turn 4. A lot of providers are celebrating this; more children =more money. (The total amount of children remains the same at 5 for unlicensed and 6 for licensed through an agency) . . Well, I for one did not pursue this line of work to get rich. While my 4 year old may not “count” in my ratios with this new bill, he’s still there. Still a little person who needs my attention, my support in his development, and my love. Just as all the children in my care do. I love the peacefulness of our days (yes it absolutely gets a bit crazy at times too) but there’s no amount of money you could pay me to take on more kids (technically I could have SEVEN ), to created a chaotic environment that none of us would enjoy. I’m quite happy with my low ratios. ‍♀️ . . What are your thoughts on the new bill with respect to home daycare? . .

Do-It-Yourself Saturday ✂️. Another DIY today... a colour matching and fine motor work activity for Emersen (4). I just used a piece of cardboard for the base and then cut up some paint chips and glued them on. I also glued some on the clothes pins. Super easy! .
