Month: July 2014

As part of a monthly Sensory Bin Challenge, this week we had some sensory play with sand. It was totally child-led – and my son had some interesting ideas!

Here are nine tools that we find useful for learning to write the alphabet, including a sand tray, electronic toys, Kindle apps, chalkboard and more.  

This family silhouette art is a lovely reminder of our recent visit to Norfolk in the United Kingdom.

This animal movement game works on various animal sounds and actions. Don’t forget to grab the free printable!  

Vegetable stamping is a classic way to make pretty artwork.

Painting with Hexbugs was seriously good fun – such a crazy way to make art! Make sure you check out the video!  

This “What’s Missing?” game is great for working on short term memory skills. We played it with trains but you could use any other kind of toy or household …

This bug slime was a lot of oozy, gooey, buggy fun! Kids will love this sensory play recipe!

This button art uses a very simple technique that looks really effective!
