Hey there! Today I wanted to share some super fun sensory bins that I put together for Madeline. I’m doing homeschool preschool with her and sensory bins are essential! There are so many activities that your child can enjoy doing with the bins, however my kids’ favorite thing to do was just play in them! […]

Printable Playdough Mats: K & L
Learning through play is like sneaking vegetables into your meatloaf – it’s sneaky, and it works. For the children who won’t sit down at the table and practice their letters over and over again, a playdough mat might just come in handy. The way we use the playdough mat is simple. Stick it in a […]
1-Minute Playdough
The best thing about this playdough recipe is…. there is no actual recipe. It’s that easy! Materials Needed: All purpose flour, water, hair conditioner (or shampoo), and a big bowl to mix it all in.

Playdough mats are a fun way to teach letters to young children. They are also great for review for those who already know their letters (like my daughter). Up next are letters I and J. I did plain cones for “I is for ice cream” so that Lorelai (and your kids!) could make their own […]

Playdough mats are something I’ve had bouncing around my head for a while. I’ve seen some before on Pinterest, but never really looked into it. I was brainstorming with Lore last night and she thought the ones I came up with were fun. I finished them up this morning and immediately printed them out and […]
Our Glittery “Snow” Play Dough
There are many fun and adorable versions of homemade sensory snow out there. I’ve been wanting to try many versions, but haven’t been able to get around to it. Lorelai picked up a icky stomach bug earlier this week and had to miss her Christmas party today. Poor girl – she has missed the Thanksgiving […]
{ Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough }
Homemade play dough is such a fun and easy project to do with young children. I’ve made it numerous times with Lorelai in the past ~ this is the last recipe we used. We tried out a new Kool-Aid Playdough recipe today and it turned out really well. It’s definitely my favorite so far. The […]
