How do you get siblings to play together when thei

How do you get siblings to play together when their developmental stages can be so diverse? Through process art! 🎨

This is alllll about the process - discovering new techniques and mediums and exploring the possibilities….being creative! Taking risks. Problem solving.

Here are some supplies to get you started:

👉🏻 Large sheets of paper if possible
👉🏻 Washable kids paints
👉🏻 Watercolours
👉🏻 Paint brushes, rollers, sponges, stampers
👉🏻 Fly swats
👉🏻 Clay
👉🏻 Containers to pour from
👉🏻 Glue
👉🏻 Loose parts like feathers, sequins
👉🏻 Glitter *gasp* 😱

Grab the supplies, take a step back and watch the magic unfold ✨

And remember - according to Vygotsky, “The basic law of children’s creativity is that its value lies not in its results, not in the product of the creation, but in the process itself.”

When parents ask me what school readiness skills to work on with their little learners, it’s a no brainer for me….fine motor skills! 👌🏼

Before our little people can pick up a pencil to write letters or manipulate scissors to cut along lines, first they’ve gotta strengthen all the little muscles in their fingers and hands! 🖐🏼

We can do this through…
👉🏻 Using various tools like tongs and tweezers
👉🏻 Rolling, pinching and squashing play dough
👉🏻 Threading and beading
👉🏻 Poking, hammering and MORE!

This week on the blog, I’ve collaborated with @littletoytribe to share some of my favourite fine motor tools and materials to help you see how simple playful fine motor skill development can be! Head to the link in my bio to have a read and be inspired 😍

Here’s a little truth bomb for your Thursday nig

Here’s a little truth bomb for your Thursday night. The best kind of play space is one that’s played in! 💣

Sometimes this might be a play room. Maybe it’s a corner close to the kitchen. Perhaps it’s a shelf of favourites in your child’s bedroom. It might even be a big backyard with a bike, a ball and a trampoline. Or maybe, just maybe…it’ll be the contents of your Tupperware drawer #IfYouKnowYouKnow 👶🏼

But the most important part of your play space? Your kids!

I think we all lose our way from time to time. There’s so much inspiration out there, but don’t lose sight of those precious little people in front of you. Follow them and you’ll be onto a winner! 🎤 #MicDrop

Where do your little learners love to play the most?👇🏻

So after reading our new blog post about Tuff Trays, you might be wondering what you can order to go alongside it for your first sensory play invitations…so here are some favourites from the @mess_it_up_aus store!

They’ve shared an exclusive 15% coupon ‘CASEY15’ with us so you can stock up on sensory play goodies to get you through the upcoming school holidays 🙌🏻

Those animal polybags are an absolute must have for our sensory play stash. They’re big enough for little hands and we use the ocean ones outside on our tray often (or in the shower or inside for small worlds).

Does messy play leave you feeling a little nervous

Does messy play leave you feeling a little nervous? 😬 Never fear, because I’m about to solve that for you!

Tuff Trays. Yep. These bad boys are incredible for containing messes and making clean up super easy. We have had a Tuff Tray for a few years now and it lives outside permanently.

Over the weekend, we set up a little potion invitation for the kids which they LOVED! Elliot and Audrey helped find flowers in the garden while Lilly ran inside to change into her yard clothes faster than I could count to 5 😂

These kids LOVE messy play and heading outside to the Tuff Tray is a great way to contain their mess 🙌🏻 This week, I’m super excited to welcome @mess_it_up_aus as our blog sponsor!

My husband made the most amazing DIY road blocks for the kids - and they cost us less than $15!

Don’t get me wrong, I looooove all of the amazing open-ended toys available but sometimes the budget just doesn’t stretch far enough! So Kurtis @mrlittlelifelonglearners made some simple DIY road blocks for our matchbox cars and they turned out beautifully!

The timber cost under $15 at @bunnings and we had the paint leftover from another project 🙌🏻

Wanna try this project for your little learners? Just tap the flag button under this post to save it for later! 👏🏻
