Have these thoughts ever crossed your mind? 🌟 D

Have these thoughts ever crossed your mind?
🌟
Do I need to set up elaborate activities?
Why won’t he just sit and play?
Should he be able to count to 20 by now?
Should we be reading more?
Should I spend big on expensive toys?
Do we watch too much TV?
SHOULD I BE DOING MORE?
🌟
🛑 STOP! You are enough. You are doing your best. You love your little learner soooo much it hurts and you just want to give them the very best. You. Are. Enough.
🌟
We constantly WORRY that we aren’t doing enough. That we’re too cranky. That the mama on IG that seems to have it all down pat is exactly how WE should be parenting.
🌟
But let me tell you...those split seconds of someone’s day that we see on IG are exactly that. We ALL have rough days. We all question our parenting decisions. We all wonder if we’re doing enough. We all worry that we could be doing more. But tonight I’d just like to send you a big virtual hug and tell you that you are enough 🥰

If you have a little learner that loves to throw, roll and bounce things, why not set up a little investigation basket for them?
🌟
This little basket of goodies were perfect for rolling down a ramp so I popped them in a basket for toddler Lilly and placed them beside a makeshift ramp. And guess what? She LOVED experimenting and exploring!
🌟
If you have a little learner in the trajectory schema (that means they’re exploring how things move!) then I’m sure they’d love a simple invitation like this too!
🌟
Tag a friend below that might have some success with this little basket of goodies 🥰

You guys know I’m ALL about the taste-safe sensory play especially for little ones with some food aversions, but here’s a list of just a few of our favourite sensory materials that aren’t food-based!
🌟
Have you got a favourite to add to the list? Pop it below! Let’s create a go-to list together! Be sure to tap the save flag underneath this image too so you can refer back to it later 🥰

Two years. That’s how long Kurtis has been a sta

Two years. That’s how long Kurtis has been a stay-at-home dad for! And today we filmed our first Little Play Club masterclass together ✨
🌟
You see, this time two years ago, we had been saving like crazy so that Kurtis could take a month off when baby Audrey was born. Little did we know, he’d get a taste of the stay-at-home dad life and never want to go back!
🌟
As his month at home crept closer and closer, we decided to take a risk and he took the entire 5 months of paternity leave that we are so fortunate to be able to access here in Australia while I kept working on Little Lifelong Learners. I was the working parent while Kurtis was the stay-at-home parent...but how lucky that my work allowed me to work from my bed?! 🙊
🌟
As the five months paternity leave drew closer and closer, Kurtis knew deep down that he couldn’t go back to the trade industry. So we took a BIG scary step and he QUIT his job! We decided to jump all in and work together on Little Lifelong Learners while both being present for our young family. And my goodness was that the best decision we’ve ever made!
🌟
These last two years have been nothing short of magical. I still pinch myself that we both get to be at home. That we get to work side by side. That we get to be present for all those big special milestones for the kids. That we get to show our kids that there is no set plan for life OR success and that you can do whatever it is that lights your soul on fire! 🔥
🌟
We both feel so incredibly blessed to be a part of the playful journey taking place in homes all around the world. And we have YOU to thank for that! Without your continued support and beautiful, kind words, Little Lifelong Learners wouldn’t exist!

Play Pack week is always my favourite part of the

Play Pack week is always my favourite part of the month over in the Little Play Club! It’s where all my grand plans for our monthly theme come together ready to inspire our beautiful members!
🌟
Some of our members follow each theme and set up investigation tables and prepare activities for their little learners based on the theme each day. Other members pull an activity here or there when they need some quick inspiration. And some members look for play schemas appearing in their day and choose an activity from any play pack to suit the exact needs of their little learner.
🌟
There are so many different ways to use these play packs! But I must say, my heart feels so full every single month as I see our members getting stuck into the play ideas and printables that’s I’ve prepared for them 😍
🌟
Next month is Nursery Rhyme month and I can barely contain my excitement 🙊 What theme would you want to see appear in the Little Play Club next? 🦋🐧☃️🌪🍇🚜

This is your Sunday night reminder to KEEP IT SIMP

This is your Sunday night reminder to KEEP IT SIMPLE! 💁🏻‍♀️
🌟
Audrey is obsessed with ‘poms’ at the moment so when she saw the container sitting on my desk, she was eager to play!
🌟
I grabbed an old gift box from our cupboard and used a sharp knife to cut two little X’s into the bottom of the box. Next, I showed her how to push the Pom Poms through the hole.
🌟
She sat and eagerly explored this quick little invitation for about 20 minutes and she’s come back to it a few times over the last few days too! She loves a fine motor challenge at the moment so this one was right up her alley 😍
🌟
Have you had a simple playtime win lately? Tell me about it!

But what IS an invitation to play? 🤔 It’s basically a simple set up of materials that invites your little learner to come and play however they like! The focus is on capturing their interest and encouraging them to explore, experiment and dive into PLAY and there’s no right way for them to use the materials.
🌟
You may have a vision or goal in mind? But ultimately the child will use the materials in a way that makes sense to them.
🌟
Swipe across to see a quick little small world invitation that I prepared for our little learners using a bunch of loose parts!
🌟
I’d love to know what your go-to invitation looks like. Is it usually small world related? Maybe an invitation to create? Or maybe it’s simply rearranging the toys in your play space. Tell me below 🥰

Alright let’s have some real talk for a minute..

Alright let’s have some real talk for a minute...
🌟
I know my IG feed is full of beautiful pictures of playtime. So it can probably appear as though I spend my entire day thoughtfully creating small worlds, printing off pages and pages of printable games and resources and pretty much just doing loads of fun things with my children.
🌟
Buuuuuut that’s not accurate at all. My goal here at Little Lifelong Learners is to support you and encourage you in YOUR playful journey. I love to share some of the activities we get up to (and I have 5 years of ideas up my sleeve now!!!!) but please don’t think for a moment that you need to constantly entertain your little learners.
🌟
On a GOOD week, I might prepare one planned activity for the kids. Otherwise they almost always direct their own play. When they create their own play, they are definitely more likely to be totally engrossed in their play. Because play is the work of the child! They know what they need and so long as I have prepared the environment for them, they are good to go!
🌟
Next time you’re scrolling the ‘gram and think “wow this mum has got her sh%# together and does so many fun and exciting things with her littles!” just remember you are seeing a split second from her day. There is probably 3 loads of washing sitting in baskets on her dining table. She probably has 3 lots of dinner dishes in her sink. She has probably had to go back and forth to her sleeping child 7 times since she put her down tonight.
🌟
We are all just doing our very best. For some that means thoughtfully creating lots of play experiences for our littles and others just want to make it through to bedtime and want one quick idea to get through the afternoon. Just know that wherever you sit on the ‘scale of playfulness’ 🙊 that I see you and I think you’re totally kicking butt!

There’s no denying the benefits of nature play.

There’s no denying the benefits of nature play. It’s good for our emotional wellbeing and mental health.
🌟
It resets our moods and fills our buckets! Our children learn problem solving skills and develop resilience. Playing in the dirt boosts our immunity and has so many health benefits.
🌟
Being outside in nature allows our little learners to feel the earth beneath their feet and just slow down and be children.
🌟
Would you be down for a mud fight with your little learners?
