Cooking up a storm in our rice kitchen! . This black tuff spot tray is one of the best items I've bought for play. Its so versatile for a range of play activities and crafts ❤️ . Zoey loves to pretend she's cooking so I put rainbow rice, IKEA felt fruits, pans and recycling onto the tray for her to play with. This is the kind of activity that keeps her occupied for ages! . Not only is this activity fun, it's great for fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and developing imagination too. . What play activities help keep your little ones occupied? . #learningthroughplay #letthekidsplay #sensoryplay #imaginaryplay #imaginativeplay #tuffspotideas #tuffspot #tuffspotplay #totschool #toddlerplaytime #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoolactivity #finemotorskills Story Sequencing with The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛🦋 . I have just realised that I haven't shared a bookish post in forever! This is an activity I absolutely love doing because it works with a variety of age groups. . Z loves to match the story stones to the pictures in the book but I've also had students retell the story with the aid of 'days of the week' blocks too. (Swipe left) . I can't take credit for the beautiful stones or blocks - a very talented friend made them. She's currently taking a break from her business but I'm hoping she'll be back soon ❤️ . What are your favourite books to use with a variety of ages? . #bookpost #bookishplay #storytime #storystones #learningathome #learningthroughplay #readingismagic #readingmatters #readeveryday #sensoryplay #theveryhungrycaterpillar #ericcarle #eylf #eyfsteacher My littlest love is now 7 months 😍 He's sitting and crawling so we've adapted the activities that we do for him. . Whilst a lot of our activities are made with everyday materials, here's a simple one with a silk scarf and 'o-ball.' Baby E can pull the scarf from the holes and also chase the call around too. . I'm currently planning a FREE 5 day introductory baby play course. Would you be interested? Let me know in the comments section below ❤️ . #babyplay #babyactivities #7monthsold #babies #babyactivity #simpleandfun #eyfs #eylf #eyfsteacher #sensoryplay #tummytime #crawling #activiteenfant #playbasedlearning #playmatters #playislearning Number recognition sensory bin 🔢 . Miss Z is super keen on counting at the moment so what better than a number based sensory bin to keep her interest going? . I used some leftover split peas and lentils from a previous activity, then added some handmade number pebbles and numicon. . Z loved pouring the lentils through the holes of the numicon and we had a go at matching the numbers too. . #everydayplayhacks #simplychildren #simplekidsactivities #numicon #sensoryplay #sensorybin #kmartplaytray #eyfsteacher #eyfs #natureplay #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolactivity #preschoolathome #montessoritoddler #tagfromtheheart #montessoriathome Alphabet puzzle parcels 🔠 . I've seen this activity a lot over Instagram and couldn't wait to try it with Z BUT it was really important to wait until she was ready to try it. . Once Z was confident in completing the alphabet puzzle, I added interest to the activity by wrapping the letters in foil first. Little miss then had a fun time unwrapping each piece to complete the puzzle. . This is a great activity for problem solving, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Have you tried this activity yet? . #problemsolving #finemotorskills #totschool #homeschoolpreschool #handeyecoordination #woodentoys #sensoryplay #toddlerplaytime #toddleractivities #letthekidsplay #playschoolathome #playbasedlearning #playmatters #preparedplay A simple invitation to play. . Playdough is our go to for simple sensory play options. As we're currently staying with my in-laws, I really don't want to take over the house with huge, messy projects. . Here we used chocolate scented dough with some construction vehicles and food pouch lids to create a building site. . What are your favourite options for simple sensory play? . #sensoryplay #sensorykids #playschoolathome #playtime #playdough #playbasedlearning #playmatters #invitationtocreate #invitationtoplay #everydayplayhacks #simplekidsactivities #simplychildren #playingtolearn #eyfsteacher #eylf #eyfs Homemade Halloween Costume . I'm throwing back to last year's Halloween outfit because right now, we're actually sitting in the airport ready to leave Canberra! 😪 . Zoey wanted to be a fairy last year so I made her some process art cardboard wings and a nature wand (swipe along to take a closer peek) . Do you celebrate Halloween? What are your kiddies dressing up as this year? 🎃 . #kidmade #kidscrafts101 #artwithkids #artforkids #kidscrafts #waldorfinspired #waldorfhomeschool #tagfromtheheart #getcreativewith #toddlers #toddleractivity #everydayplayhacks #cardboardboxcreative #natureabc Pumpkin process art 🎃 . We love a balanced approach to play and activities: sometimes we like 5 minute fix activities and other times we love to make a huge mess! . This was actually the last piece of messy art we did before 'the big move.' In reality right now we are running about a half empty house trying to pack the last pieces of clothing! . Do you like messy art? Let me know in the comments section below ❤️ . #getcreativewith #tagfromtheheart #magicofchildhood #pumpkin #processoverproduct #processart #artwithkids #sensoryplay #artforkids #eylf #creativemum #creativeplay #messyplay #messyart Small world tuff tray play ❤️ . This one of the last activities we did before the removal van came and took away all of our worldy possessions 😪 . It's been an emotional day. The house is pretty empty and now it finally feels like it's time to leave Australia. The last 4 years here has been an amazing experience: we've had two of our three gorgeous kiddos here and some of the adventures we've been on were just incredible 😍 . On a side note, thanks to everyone who has purchased my E-Book 'The Creative Play A-Z' so far. Your support means a lot to me ❤️ . #onthetufftraytoday #tuffspotideas #tuffspot #smallworlds #smallworld #adventureswithkids #grimmswoodentoys #grimmsinaustralia #intentionalplay #invitationtoplay
