Logan loves our adventures, picking flowers, bug hunting hitting stuff with sticks. We definitely have our best connection outside. He listens better and so do I, our focus shifts to one another and the beauty around us and we are at peace.

Today’s #oursensoryspring prompt is peace. This activity was definitely peaceful. Wax resist peace signs, watercolour pencils and watercolours. Definitely not about the end result as paintbrushes went through the paper but both enjoyed mark making and Izzie is learning the sequence of water, then paint, then paper to allow her to paint and loving it .

Walking into Thursday feeling vibrant, thankful, happy, and ready. .
Watching my kids play is a privilege and I’m always doing my best to show gratitude for these beautiful moments with them. .
Thank you for being apart of our playful world. Thank you for cheering me on and challenging me to be and do better. I promise, some of our play will get messy and I’ll have mom brain when I don’t have time for it but I hope our simple play inspires you or at least makes you smile. .
I’m always trying to squeeze the most out of our playful ideas. 3 post back, I set up a “sibling dot-sticker flower”... this took me 5 minutes to create & provides 45 minutes of play & learning (it’s not fancy, but it is engaging & can be built upon ♀️). #simple_play ideas always win our hearts! .
To add onto this activity, I added some contact paper (sticky side out) and let the girls decorate the flower with some crunchy paper (left over from Easter). I also used this paper in a sensory bin 5 post back called, “matching insects”. . Tell me about your favorite (SIMPLE) ways to play with your kid (s) .
Supplies: (Everything saved in Amazon Store, Link in Bio) * Butcher Paper * Green Painter tape * Dot stickers * Sharpie * Crunchy Paper * Contact Paper . S A V E this idea so you can try it when it works best for you! .

That’s it ✅. I name my 1st child #magnoliabea . So you can imagine, having some #sensoryplay with this gorgeous flowering tree was a MUST. .
Slide the photo 1x to see the beautiful tree from which this play was made. .
Slide the photo 2x to see the HILARIOUS #letsplaytheirway game that Magnolia created with the flowers from her magnolia tree. . If you figure out what she’s doing in the video, leave it in a comment below... then tell me the funniest play you have over heard your kid(s) making up? .

Today’s #oursensoryspring prompt is garland. I’ve improvised here as the stuff I packed to bring to mums is in a box at home ♀️ I found a bit of wool and cut out some triangles from a colouring book then Logan and Izzie used paintsticks and pencil crayons to decorate them. Izzie found a few stickers and added those too. When I started sticking the triangles on both wanted to help me so they helped me to cut and press on the tape. Not particularly exciting but both were much more engaged than if I’d given them a colouring book. Izzie just enjoyed her mark making and Logan talked about the pictures and what colours he was using. So #mumfail but #notacraptivity as they loved it anyway.

It’s the start of @oursensorykids new monthly theme and today’s prompt is ‘ribbons’ so I’ve added a rainbow of ribbons to the garden swings ready for Lily’s play date this afternoon This is also perfect for the #natureplaymay that’s happening with @themakermum as today’s prompt is ‘rainbow’ #oursensoryspring #childcareadventures
We went out on an ‘adventure ‘ to the botanical gardens today to look for some buds. Ned is nestled in our foraging basket amongst the treasures Logan collected. We looked at some lovely buds, flowers and bugs and Logan now understands the buds open up into beautiful flowers. The children also made friends and went exploring with them. Isn’t it amazing how quickly kids make friends and play together!!!!!

———————————————————————— ❤️RIBBONS❤️————————————————————————My little girl really enjoys watching, grabbing & scrunching toys especially brightly coloured ones so I thought this week’s prompts of ribbons & bright colours would be a perfect time to make her a sensory toy! ————————————————————————- I tied ribbons to a coat hanger & then laid them in front of her for tummy time & hung them on her play gym when she was on her back. She was transfixed on the colours for a long time and enjoyed grabbing and pulling on them, some ended up in her mouth too for a little bit! This was a really quick and simple baby play activity I would definitely recommend! Just make sure ribbons aren’t too long so they don’t get tangled and that your baby is under supervision at all times! ————————————————————————- #may_play #mama #ribbons #brightcolours #babysensory #babyplay #tummytime #oursensoryspring #babyplayinmay @hobbycrafthq #the12weeksofspring
YOUR #️⃣1️⃣ QUESTION ANSWERED: how the heck to decide which “Magic School Bus” book to check out ? .
* I N S E C T S * .
You might now be asking ... why? Because kids universally LOVE BUGS, we are approaching bug season, so it’s a book they will be engaged with. . I have a little secret, I don’t love bugs so my background about bugs, is pretty limited.... But I have good news ♀️ , after reading this book, I feel like I actually learned a TON about the little critters in our own backyard. .
1 thing I learned, not all insects are actually “bugs”. The book explains the difference, check out this sneak peek... . “True Bugs: insects and other creepy-crawlies are often called bugs. But bugs are actually just one type of insect...Bugs look a lot like beetles, but they have sucking mouthparts. Unlike beetles, you can usually see the tip of their wings sticking out at the back” (p. 13). .
Here is a photo of me after reading this ... “ , how did I not know this?” .
Leave me a comment, be honest, did you know this about insects/ bugs?”. I hope I’m not the only one . .
Maybe I’m behind on all things insects/ bugs or maybe you are like me & would like a quality book to teach your kids (and you) a little something about the mini beast we will be seeing all summer . . ...It’s BUG week on @bringbooksalive #bringbooksalive_bugs ! To bring our book alive we paired it with the most beautiful bugs I know, our #ericcarle memory cards. After reading, we looked for the bugs in the book and then played a little matching game. .
Supplies:

• The Magic School BUS presents Insects @amazon store (link in bio) .
• Eric Carle Mini Memory Game @amazon store (link in bio) .
