Can you guess what our Little Play Club Play Pack

Can you guess what our Little Play Club Play Pack theme is this month? 🤔
🌟
It’s ‘All About Me’ and we’re exploring all the things that make us special! Each month I put together an epic collection of play ideas and printables to support you in creating themed learning experiences for your little learners. Some of our members set up a whole theme for the month and others just peruse the play packs when they need some inspo to get through till dinner.
🌟
But no matter how you use them, I can guarantee you’re going to make some pretty special memories together as you connect through play! This month was our biggest pack at just over 100 pages long 😳
🌟
At the moment, the Play Packs are exclusive to my members but never fear! We’re opening the doors THIS MONTH so head to littleplayclub.com to get on the wait list or just tap the link in my bio 🥰

Have you taken time recently to do an audit of you

Have you taken time recently to do an audit of your children’s books? Do your books depict diverse characters? Diverse families? Diverse ethnicities?
🌟
Maybe you’ve already done an audit and added some new books to your shelf like we have - I’d love for you to comment below with any wonderful titles you’ve found!
🌟
This week, Karly from @bookieboobox has joined us at Little Lifelong Learners and written a blog post all about how you can diversify your bookshelf. She shares a great tip on how to complete a book audit. Karly talks about the importance of having a diverse bookshelf with books that show people practicing different religions, speaking different languages, coming from varied socio-economic circumstances, or having non-traditional family structures.
🌟
Head to the link in my bio to read her blog post! I’m super excited to share that Karly will be joining us over on the blog every month to share her passion for all things books!

Did you know I have an entire library of free printables available for you over on my site? 🙊
🌟
Inside you’ll find printables for developing number sense, fine motor skills, early reading and writing, sensory play, dramatic play and more!

If you’ve got a beginning puzzle enthusiast, try

If you’ve got a beginning puzzle enthusiast, try laminating a picture of the completed puzzle for your play shelves!
🌟
If you’re like me, you want to keep your boxes in tip top shape but sometimes little people have other plans. When we present puzzles on the toy shelves, we often pop the pieces in a basket and add a laminated photo of the finished product. This gives the kids a guide to work from and keeps our boxes in good condition too.
🌟
I’m going to record a little IGTV for you guys this week all about puzzles! I know I promised this a while back so it’s very high on my list for the week. If you have any specific questions about puzzles, pop them below and I’ll do my best to answer them! 🥰

Pineapple on pizza - yes or no? 🍍 🌟 This Piz

Pineapple on pizza - yes or no? 🍍
🌟
This Pizza Shop is one of my all time favourite Dramatic Play set ups! The kids just adore making their own play pizzas and it’s a wonderful opportunity to develop loads of early literacy skills and problem solving with our little learners.
🌟
Dramatic Play is also a really fun way to create some pretty special memories of play that will last a lifetime! I have such fond memories of my own mum @myteachingcupboard setting up little play spaces like these for myself and my siblings. I get the warm and fuzzies thinking about how my own little learners will remember these play experiences when they have children of their own!
🌟
If you’d like to set up your own Pizza Shop with your little learners, you can grab all the printable signs, labels and order forms pictured here (and soooo much more!!!) by following the link in my bio!

Here’s a little throwback to one year old Audrey

Here’s a little throwback to one year old Audrey when we had juuuust started to see some transferring happening during her playtime!
🌟
One day as I was trying to get some cleaning done, I spotted our aluminium cooking bowls which make the most lovely/highly annoying sound. And then it hit me. Wooden pegs! I arranged them on the side of the bowl for her to pull off, and sure enough...in the bowl they went. She sat exploring this for nearly an hour 😱 Which is basically equivalent to 543 in baby hours!
🌟
Being able to spot these little interests makes all the difference when you’re preparing activities for your little learners. But you should also never underestimate the power of the contents in your kitchen cupboards. A few bits and pieces are so interesting to our little learners! Just make sure anything you grab is safe to mouth and you’re good to go.
🌟
Have your little learners enjoyed rummaging through your kitchen drawers? What’s their favourite thing to explore in the kitchen?

It’s been a while since I’ve said Hi 👋🏻

It’s been a while since I’ve said Hi 👋🏻 so let’s play a little game! But first, let me introduce myself if you’re new around here!
🌟
My name is Casey and I’m an early years teacher from Brisbane, Australia! I’m super passionate about play-based learning, though when I was a classroom teacher many moons ago, I actually had no idea where to even begin when it came to learning through play!
🌟
It wasn’t until I became a mum for the first time that I discovered the magical world of sensory play and THAT’S where it all began!✨
🌟
Now that I’ve shared a little bit about myself, let’s see if you can pick which one of these facts below is a LIE?!
1️⃣ I eat chocolate for breakfast often.
2️⃣ I love cozying up with a good book.
3️⃣ I got married when I was 21.
Hmm which one do you think is the lie? Pop your answer below and I’ll reveal all in my stories tomorrow 🙊

Well here it is - the first of Kurtis’ @mrlittle

Well here it is - the first of Kurtis’ @mrlittlelifelonglearners DIY blog series is here and it’s an epic one! This month he’s sharing a behind the scenes peek at our epic mud kitchen build!
🌟
This mud kitchen has been an absolute dream come true - especially for Lilly! She spends a lot of time out there on the weekends creating all kinds of mud pies, cakes and soups. The addition of an old chalkboard has been a wonderful way to gently encourage her to write with purpose - something she’s very hesitant to do normally. Just another reason why we love and advocate for play-based learning so much - it gives our children space to learn in a way that is relevant and engaging to the child!
🌟
Kurtis took photos of each step as he built our new mud kitchen and has also put together a supplies list so you can replicate a similar mud kitchen for your own little learners. You can head to the link in my bio to have a read!
