Play dough is pretty damn amazing on its own, but what can you add to your stash to take your play dough invitations to the next level?
🌟
On the blog this week (link in my bio), I’m sharing my favourite play dough tools as well as some everyday essentials and loose parts that we have in our play dough stash ready to grab quickly! What would you add to the list? Tell me below!👇🏻
🌟
Not only is play dough great for developing fine motor skills, it’s also a wonderful tool for developing oral language skills, early mathematical understandings, concepts and vocabulary (such as thick, thin, long, short, small, big etc) and building their creative thinking as they play – the possibilities are endless!

Looking for the perfect gift for a playful parent,

Looking for the perfect gift for a playful parent, teacher or kiddo in your life? Look no further than my sensory play book!!
🌟
It’s full of simple ideas to inspire your sensory play sessions - and the best part? There’s something for everyone no matter how tolerant (or intolerant 🤪) you are of mess...because sensory play doesn’t always need to be messy!
🌟
Inside you’ll find some of my favourite sensory play recipes and invitations, all of which are tried, tested and loved by my own three little learners!
🌟
This book would make the perfect present for a new mum, a busy toddler, your BFF or your child’s kindy teacher. You can grab a copy online from places like Amazon, Booktopia, Book Depository and more. The link is in my bio ❤️ 📷 @my.dearest.sons

My personal goal as a parent this year was to spen

My personal goal as a parent this year was to spend more time outside as a family...but when I set this goal, I didn’t know that 2020 would be the year that we’d buy our forever home AND be forced to stay inside the perimeter of that forever home thanks to COVID 😂 but here we are #silverlinings
🌿
I have such fond memories of exploring the backyard as a kid. We lived on 12 acres so there was always something to explore with my three younger siblings. I remember playing in the mud at the dam, taking my babies on picnics in my Nana’s garden (we all lived together in separate houses on one block) and playing cafes in our sandpit with an old microwave oven.
🌿
We always knew we wanted our children to experience the magical properties of a beautiful garden...so while 2020 was an absolute $hitshow in many ways, it was also the year that saw us reconnect with nature and give our littles so many incredible memories that we hope will last their entire lifetime too!
🌿
Did you have a goal or vision for what 2020 would look like for you? Did COVID help or hinder that goal?

I’ve never met a little learner that doesn’t love scooping and pouring! Whether it’s pouring water from cup to cup in the mud kitchen or some dried cereal or rice from spoon to bowl in a sensory tub, kids love to pour! It’s wonderful for their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and you can even practise counting while you play!
🌟
I love to include a pouring or posting activity in our Play Packs over in the Little Play Club and this is one from our Farm theme! I made some little cards to work on some numeral recognition with Elliot but you could also just use a dice to work on subitising (knowing how many without counting) or even just some good old dot counting.
🌟
This activity caught the attention of all three children aged 1, 3.5 and 5.5 years so I think we’re onto a winner 🙊 Swipe across to see how fast it was to prep too! Would your little learners enjoy this one? Let me know! 👇🏻
🌟
PS - I’d love for you to come join us in the Little Play Club so you can grab this fun little activity and sooooo many more! Inside, I’m there to support you in learning how to tune into your child’s interests and developmental needs to choose the perfect invitations for them. Doors close Wednesday evening! www.littleplayclub.com

“He just wants me to play with him all the time!

“He just wants me to play with him all the time! What am I doing wrong?!” 😢
🌟
When one of my members told me this not so long ago, I just wanted to reach through the screen and give her the BIGGEST hug!
🌟
This parenting gig can be oh-so-hard and oh-so-isolating at times. We’re always questioning ourselves and wondering if we’re doing enough or if our children are learning enough. We wonder if we’ve made mistakes and broken our children... then feel guilty for not knowing better. Ugh!
🌟
And you know what? I’m not immune to those thoughts either!! Lilly started school last year and I often still catch myself comparing her to other children, wondering if I’ve done enough to prepare her for school and wondering if we should have kept her home for another year, But we’ve got to STOP beating ourselves up ✋🏻
🌟
We ARE doing the very best that we can with what knowledge we have at the time. We ARE enough. Our children ARE enough. All that matters is that we’re doing the very best that we can and loving on those beautiful little people! 😍
🌟
