2020...WTF?! 🌟 When we look back at 2020, we’ $2020...WTF?! 🌟 When we look back at 2020, we’re gonna remember the bushfires that tore through much of Australia. We’re going to remember COVID. We’re going to remember the Black Lives Movement (and hopefully the beginnings of some pretty big societal change!!!) 🌟 It was the year we bought our first home and decided to do an epic Reno just as the COVID restrictions came into place. It was the year that Kurtis worked so damn hard that his body literally went into shock and came down with the damn shingles. It was the year that the kids caught chickenpox WHILE in ISO from Kurtis’ shingles 🤪 It was the year when we did months of home learning and attempted ISO haircuts and realised we are not hairdressers. It was the year that Lilly’s asthma turned to crap and then Audrey fractured her collarbone and then Elliot broke his arm all in the space of 10 days. 🌟 And it was the year of epic business growth. It was the year that saw me become a PUBLISHED AUTHOR. The year that saw me step into the uncomfortable and begin business coaching with the amazing @mydailybusinesscoach which has opened my eyes 👀 in ways I never imagined. It was the year that I finally began getting some serious systems and processes in place so that I can step into my role as a visionary and begin building a kick ass team including but not limited to these amazing ladies who support me behind the scenes here at Little Lifelong Learners on the daily - @kirsty_whybrow_va @hatched_designs @accountedforyou @sidehustleaccounting @jenn.bolger 🌟 2020 has been all kinds of WTF but it’s also been the start of something pretty spectacular and I cannot WAIT to share some of my big crazy dreams with you all! 🌟 When you think about 2020, what are you going to remember? We’re only half way through but I personally feel like I’ve aged approx 67573 years with all these highs and lows 👵🏻$

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!

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 🙊
