<<Pattern Matching Work>> . Every child loves to match and sort stuff! Grouping similar objects comes naturally to young children and very early. . Matching and sorting activities help to develop a range of thinking skills and build the foundations for later concepts. 🧠 . To create this matching work I looked up black and white patterns then printed them. I glued the papers onto styrofoam for sturdiness ✨

First snowfall/storm/Blizzard ❄️🌨️ in Winnipeg! . Wow is it ever snowing outside! Too bad it's not the beautiful first snowfall I was hoping for 🌨️. I just need some sun to come out 😭😭☀️. . But no need to worry because my children are making up for my lack of enthusiasm! . I've been home less than an hour and they have already asked to bring snow inside, so this tired momma put down a towel and threw some snow in a tray and sprinkled red food colour. . It stained their hands but they loved it!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

<<<Sandra Boynton Felt Board>>> . @sandra_boynton is our family’s favourite author! Her books have been such a massive part of our life since we bought our first book from Value Village. It was the Belly Button book! . We loved the book so much we decided to look for more, and are always looking for more! We are currently obsessed with “What’s wrong little Pookie?” . The books are so beautifully illustrated and the words come together like magic! ✨ . If you love Sandra Boynton as much as we do, you can make your own DIY felt board too! There is a free Sandra Boynton bingo available online (just google). I cut out all the animals and glued them onto felt. . If you have any questions drop a comment below ⬇️ or DM me!

Water beads + Shaving cream! 💗💗 . An amazing ECE I used to work with asked me if I had tried this idea and I said no but I must! . Not only is it really fun to play with, it's also super beautiful! . My daughter kept asking "can you bring me blocks so we can stack them now" 🤦🤣 . . . . . #sensoryexperience #sensroyplay #sensoryactivity #waterbeadsplay #toddlerhood #toddleractivites #letthembelittle #letsplaytheirway #playbasedmom #playbasedmethod #playexplorelearn #learningiscool #learningthroughplayeveryday #learningisfun #playbasedlearning #toddlerapproved #toddleractivityidea #toddlersensory #childfocused #childhoodfun #childdev #winnipegblogger #winnipegparent #204 #winnipegmom #winnipegparents #winnipegfun #winnipeg

It's officially fall!! 🍂🍁 . I am so ready to welcome this new season! There is so much about fall that excites me! 🍃 . It's birthday season for us and for some of our closest friends' kids. 🎉. We also get to prepare for both Thanksgiving and Halloween 🦃🎃. It's just all around a super busy and fun filled time! . We made this #trayfortheday using some of our recent acorn finds and it turns out they make the cutest hats! 🌰🌰 . All the acorn Play had us questioning what the hat the was called so we looked it up and learned about the parts of an acorn! Pretty cool I had no idea!! 🌰🙃 . . . . . #natureplay #fallthemed #sensroytray #sensoryexperience #sensoryactivity #sensoryrice #sensorylearning #sensoryfun #colouredrice #earlylearning #childfocused #childhoodfun #acornlearning #playisimportant #playbased #playbasedmethod #naturechild #natureslooseparts #playwithme #playideas #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhoodfun101 #playfullearner #playathome #learningthroughplayeveryday #learningthroughplaying #learningthroughplay #tagfromtheheart

<<<Acorn Play>>> 🌰🌰🌰🌰🌰🌰 . Acorns are one of nature's most amazing loose parts! . For this activity I used a glue gun to secure the acorns and painted the inside of the shell and the bottom of the acorn to encourage colour matching. ❤️💙💜❤️💙💜 . I feel like the possibilities are endless with these loose parts! Swipe ➡️ to the last pic to see another neat activity we made with the acorns. . Stay tuned for more acorn fun! . . . . . #playwithnature #natureplay #natureslooseparts #looseparts #naturechild #reggioinspired #namerecognition #namerecognitionactivity #namebuilding #playbasedmom #playbasedlearning @recycleandplay #learningthroughplaying #earlylearning #playbasedmethod #earlylearners #earlyyearseducation #childfocused #childhoodfun #kidslearning #toddlerhood #toddleractivites #toddlerapproved #DIYactivity #diytoddlerplay #toddleractivityidea #toddlerletters #toddlerplaytime #busytoddler #recycleandplay
