Easter is just around the corner and I’ve alread

Easter is just around the corner and I’ve already eaten half the eggs that I put away for the kids #StayAtHome #EatAllTheChocolate 🤭
🌟
But let’s face it, Easter is going to look a little different for most this year. Instead of visiting our families, we’ll be spending Easter at home making playful memories and new traditions together.
🌟
I’m really looking forward to pulling out some activities from my Easter stash next week. I actually remember the Easter bunny delivering a stack of art supplies to my brother and sisters and I one year and it’s always been an Easter I remember so fondly. It’s got me thinking what Kurtis and I can do this year to make it really special for the kids 🐰
🌟
If you’re looking for some Easter inspo, I’ve got an Easter Pack in my store full of simple ideas and printables like this one! And the best part? I’ve also got 20% off storewide for the foreseeable future while so many of us are at home with our little learners just trying to do our best to get through the day!
🌟
I’ll pop a link to this packet in my bio for you! Just use the code LEARNATHOME to get 20% off your order 🐣

Play doesn’t need to be fancy. You don’t need

Play doesn’t need to be fancy. You don’t need to spend all the $$$ or spend more time preparing for play than your littles *actually* spend playing 🙅🏻‍♀️
🌟
This simple mud kitchen inspired hours of play when Lilly was a toddler. It was just a piece of timber sitting on some bricks with a few old utensils from the kitchen. It cost us nothing yet it set the stage for so much child-led play 😍
🌟
If you’re anything like me, you probably often get the guilts when you scroll the ‘gram and wonder if you’re doing enough. Whether you need to spend more time making fancy play things or whether you need the next best fancy toy to encourage your little learner..... #YouAreDoingFine 🥰
🌟
But this is your Saturday night reminder to keep it simple and just enjoy the moment. Times are tough right now but our homes are full of items with so much play potential. In fact, I bet you can think of a time your little learners were so easily entertained by the most simple thing like the Tupperware drawer or a bag of cotton tips 🙊
🌟
Tag a mama below that might need to hear that she’s doing just fine right now!!

Today’s the day!! You can officially pre-order m

I have such fond memories of craft time from my ow

I have such fond memories of craft time from my own childhood. I remember the tub of recycled boxes and tubes at my Nana’s house and how I’d sit for hours making my own people from toilet rolls. I loved being able to sit and create so this is something I love to foster with my own children now too.
🌟
Our kids love to paint, cut and glue so we decided to make some coloured artworks. They helped me go through our craft stash searching for all things green and then painted a large rectangle of cardboard with various shades of green paint. Next, their collaging began! 😍
🌟
It was so beautiful watching them create collaboratively and I was even brave enough to give them access to glitter 🤭
🌟
This kind if invitation is a wonderful way to support your little learners to express themselves creatively. It allows them to experiment with mark making, develop their hand-eye coordination and work those important fine motor skills too. But best of all? It’s a wonderful way to create some magical memories with your little learners!

Never under estimate the power of a simple sensory

Never under estimate the power of a simple sensory tub 🙊
🌟
Whenever I want a quick and easy play activity, you can guarantee I’m gonna grab a sensory base, some utensils and some containers of some description!
🌟
I’ve found that our little people really love to scoop and pour. They’re obsessed with the movement of the sensory bases and love to fill and empty containers. These explorations all form the basis for a pretty solid mathematical understanding of capacity and volume #LearningThroughPlay
🌟
So what are my favourite sensory bases? Well I do love reusing a bag of pasta, rice or chickpeas, but given the current pandemic, these items are hard to come by. Some of my favourite non-food based bases include sand, water, bird seed, dirt, aquarium pebbles, kinetic sand, pom poms, beads....the list goes on! If you can scoop it, you can add it to a tub!
🌟
So tell me, what’s your favourite sensory base? Bonus points if it’s not single use and can be used over and over like our bag of corn kernels!!! Let’s see if we can create an epic list of ideas for everyone that wants to start experimenting with sensory tubs!

Day 4: Go on a nature walk to collect natural loos

Day 4: Go on a nature walk to collect natural loose parts! 🌿#MakingPlayfulMemories
🌟
Almost every single time we go for a walk, someone finds a little treasure to bring home. We often add these little loose parts to our stash to use in our play.
🌟
Head into the garden and see what you can find to add to your play! Swipe across to see some examples of how to use natural loose parts in your play. My favourite being a little small world! Here you’ll see a little invitation with some little insects, loose parts from the garden, some artificial plant cuttings and some ‘dirt play dough’ (which is just plain play dough with a bit of cocoa powder mixed in).
🌟
Which idea will you try with your little learners? A small world? Sensory bottles? Let me know below!

Day 3: It’s time for a colour bath!! #MakingPlay

Day 3: It’s time for a colour bath!! #MakingPlayfulMemories
🌟
If you haven’t tried a colour bath yet, you’re gonna want to put this on your list for tomorrow! Simply choose a colour theme (hint: do NOT pick yellow 🙊), fill the bath and then add a few drops of food dye - it won’t stain the kids! You can get your little learners to hunt for coloured items to add to the bath too or you can leave it as coloured water. The choice is yours!
🌟
I have such fond memories of MY mum @myteachingcupboard making colour baths for us as kids! It was such a simple way to inject a bit of playfulness to our evening routine!
🌟
I often find that when our kids are going a little nutty, adding water always helps. Sometimes this means a midday colour bath and other times it’s a bucket of water in the backyard. But I can always count on a little water making things a little more manageable 🙊

Day 2: Make a card for someone special! 🥰 #Maki

Day 2: Make a card for someone special! 🥰 #MakingPlayfulMemories
🌟
My Nana celebrated her birthday today. We spend a lot of time with her normally but given the circumstances, we’ve been staying away. It’s been a tricky concept for the kids so today we decided to make her a special card and write birthday messages inside!
🌟
Lilly and Elliot both painted a butterfly each - one of the trees in her garden is FULL of beautiful butterflies at the moment so Lilly thought that was perfect for her! We cut out a butterfly shape and the kids painted one half, folded it over, pressed down and opened to reveal the most beautiful butterfly prints. This was one of my favourite painting activities from my own childhood and the look on their faces when their butterflies were revealed was so priceless! 🦋
🌟
Next, we glued the butterflies down onto cardboard and wrote our messages inside. This afternoon we all piled into the car to go and check out the butterflies in Nana’s tree and then left these masterpieces on her doorstep 😍
🌟
Who would your little learners make a special card for? If you try this play idea, be sure to tag me so I can share!

Day 1: DIY Obstacle Course! 🤸🏻‍♀️ 🌟

Day 1: DIY Obstacle Course! 🤸🏻‍♀️
🌟
If you’re looking for simple play ideas, I have got.your.back my friend! I’ll be sharing simple ideas over the coming weeks ready to support you in getting playful and making some special memories with your little learners during this uncertain time #MakingPlayfulMemories 🥰
🌟
Tomorrow, why not get the afternoon wriggles out with a DIY obstacle course in the backyard?! You can add a long rope from the shed for your little learners to balance along. A foam mat makes the perfect rolling pad. A highchair or dining chair is perfect for climbing through. A washing basket and ball is perfect for throwing! You can add some obstacle course equipment if you have it but it’s certainly not needed. 🙅🏻‍♀️
🌟
Check out my stories to see how Lilly extended our obstacle course using items from the yard! 🤭
🌟
I’d love to see your obstacle courses – tag me @littlelifelonglearners or use the #littlelifelonglearners hashtag to share your play! Let’s make the most of this time with our little learners and make some playful memories!
