Printable Playdough Mats: K & L

July 8, 2013 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

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 […]

Printable Playdough Mats: I & J

May 31, 2013 by Kimberly 1 Comment

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 […]

April 12, 2013 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

After playing with our water beads earlier this week, and seeing how much Lorelai enjoyed it, I was inspired to make some rice sensory bins. I took it a step further and made “Habitat Bins” – not sure if that term has ever been used, but I’m using it! =) I found some pretty awesome […]

{ Water Beads Sensory Play }

April 8, 2013 by Kimberly 1 Comment

I’ve been hearing so much fun stuff about water beads, I decided to go on a hunt for them. After going to two different stores, I finally found some in the vase/flower section of Michaels.

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.

Our Glittery “Snow” Play Dough

December 21, 2012 by Kimberly 1 Comment

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 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 […]
