All Natural Leaf Threading

I love finding new and exciting ways for kids to engage with Nature, get creative and develop their motor skills and this All Natural Leaf Threading activity ticks all the boxes. Because it uses natural things it’s virtually free to put together and provides a wonderful sensory experience for kids to as they explore the sight, feel and smells of this activity too.

Edible Sensory Play Balls

Oh boy, oh boy you won’t be able to resist diving into this edible sensory tray yourself before the kids even get a look in. Seriously! This week we had some friends over for the afternoon and when I got this sensory tray out full of vibrant, shiny balls that you can actually eat, I was fighting the adults off it! The grown-ups were just as keen as the kids to dive in, feel it, squish it, and taste it too. It just looked so appealing no-one was able to resist! You have been warned!

We’ve got a fun boat craft for you that literally tastes of Summer! Yummy! Raid your fridge for some avocados and come and see how to make a little boat that really floats. Just perfect for imaginative play where small world play figures can go sailing around the wading pool or bath!

Meadow Oobleck Sensory Play

Do you call it Oobleck or Gloop? Either way we LOVE it!

Oobleck is such a versatile sensory play resource that we can easily adapt to all sorts of themes for year round rich and explorative play experiences.

Today’s Meadow Oobleck recipe is a great way to get children connecting with Nature by bringing plants and flowers from the outside into the sensory play space. We can use their nature finds to set up an exciting play opportunity that stimulates their senses and promotes lots of areas of learning.

Suncatcher Flower Craft For Kids

I admit it, I don’t always know what I’m doing and recently the kids and I have been enjoying some experimental crafty goodness making real flower suncatchers for the window. I wasn’t sure how successful our method of preserving the flowers would be but so far, touch wood, it’s all gone to plan and I just adore the vintage look of this unusual flower craft.
