Raise your hand if you’ve ever wondered why ALL

Raise your hand if you’ve ever wondered why ALL the other kids will play for longer than YOUR child ever could?! 🙋🏻‍♀️
🌟
Little learners have THE shortest attention span and anything that captures their attention beyond these times is basically as magical as a unicorn 🦄
🌟
But seriously, expecting our little learners to focus on something for extended periods of time isn’t actually developmentally appropriate. Our little people were made to move and wriggle and explore and did I mention move? 😜
🌟
But here’s a little tip that will lengthen the time your child WILL play for. Are you ready? Follow the child! Let them take the lead and find their own fun. Don’t feel like you have to come up with grand ideas all the time or prepare invitations or constantly entertain. Take a few steps back and see what they come up with all by themselves. They might just surprise you!
🌟
Tap the save flag under this image so that next time you consider an invitation or play activity a *fail* you can come back to this chart and check to see whether you might just be expecting too much of your little person. KISS - keep it simple silly! 🥰

Have you downloaded a FREE copy of my new eBook yet? It’s all about busy bags and includes free printables, busy bag ideas, tips and tricks as well as some recommended bits and pieces to get you going!
🌟
These busy bags are perfect for using out and about (but let’s face it, COVID has stopped a lot of that!!!) but I also found them to be a lifesaver when I was breastfeeding newborn Elliot and toddler Lilly needed some help keeping her hands busy and entertained while I got Elliot to sleep!
🌟
But no matter what you use them for, they’re great to have on hand when you need a quick distraction! You’ll find the link to download a FREE copy over in my bio!

Looking for ways to use your old train table? Swipe through to see some of our favourites!! In fact, pop on over to the blog (link in bio) to read more about our trusty train table!
🌟
Many years ago on Lilly’s first birthday, my mum @myteachingcupboard gifted Lilly her very own train table. My mum had been using train tables in her classroom for years. They were the perfect height for little ones to sit at and explore, so she knew Lilly would get a lot of use out of it.
🌟
Little did we know that five years later, we’d still be using a train table for our play every single day.
🌟
As you can see, our train table is a very well loved piece in our play room. You’ll often find these for sale on Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree and I truly believe it’s because many people don’t see past their obvious use as a boring old train table. There are soooo many possibilities…so will you you use yours for? #bunnings #kmartaus

If Audrey could have ONE thing to play with for th

If Audrey could have ONE thing to play with for the rest of her life, it would be ‘poms’ 😂 What would your child choose? 🤔
🌟
Whenever I open the craft cupboard, she spots the Pom Poms and asks for them so I’m constantly trying to think of new ways to use them! We post them, sort them, stick them, put them in water, freeze them, squeeze them, throw them and glue them. I think I’m actually going to need shares in Pom Poms really soon 😂
🌟
This particular invitation was from our In the Garden play pack last month and it’s one that the big kids loved too...instead of carefully sticking them to the stick wall, they threw them at the wall from a distance 🤷🏻‍♀️ but whatever works hey?!
🌟
Every month, I share loads of simple play ideas like this one over in the Little Play Club as part of our themed play packs. We’re going to be welcoming new members soon so if you’re keen to know more, head to www.littleplayclub.com to pop your name on the wait list or click the link in my bio! We’d love to have you join us!

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,

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!

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? 🦋🐧☃️🌪🍇🚜
