I can’t believe Thanksgiving will be upon us in less than a week! We’re so blessed to be able to celebrate with family and I wanted the boys to have a part in setting a harvest-y mood. These kid-made Thanksgiving placemats are quite simple to make yet look adorable! We’re even using them as a banner […]
Teamwork Drawing Activity for Preschoolers
Does your child seem discouraged about their ability to draw? My son tends to shrink back from drawing opportunities. He usually states that he can’t draw a certain object and asks me to do it for him. I know his sensory processing disorder effects his body awareness, hence, his writing and drawing. But it just […]
Christmas Ornament Pattern Play
When I saw these adorable mini Christmas Ornaments at Target, I knew they’d turn into a blog post, one way or another. They’re just so sparkly and UNBREAKABLE! The kiddos couldn’t help but touch! This post contains affiliate links that help support my family. Read more about that here. If you can’t find the ornaments […]
Autumn Leaves Fine Motor and Sensory Play
I’m not a native Texan. While I love Austin, I just don’t understand why people are so obsessed with this state. (Please don’t kick me out!) By far, my biggest complaint is the lack of autumn leaves and winter snow. Life just kinda misses its magic, ya know? I wanted my boys to get to play […]
Solar System Craft
I think my boys favorite home preschool unit to date has been our study of astronauts. In fact, it’s been almost two months, and I can’t seem to get them very interested in our next unit (Thanksgiving) because they’re so obsessed. This solar system craft came about as I was perusing our craft cabinet in […]
DIY Essential Oils Blend for Sore Muscles
Am I the only one that turns into a complete baby when I wake up with a sore neck? Seriously, what a pain in the…well…neck! I’ve had some incredible success with this DIY essential oils blend for sore muscles. I tend to be suspicious of the placebo effect, but I’ve used this blend multiple times […]
Felt Turkey Pattern Play
November is in full swing which means that we are filling our time with Thanksgiving learning and play activities! I’ve been meaning to teach my son Loopy (3.5 yrs) about patterns, but never got around to it till now. Inspiration struck this week when I saw the abundance of felt in our craft closet. What […]
Astronaut Pretend Play
We have been having so much fun learning about astronauts lately (check out our favorite books), that when the month was out, we just kept going with our space exploration. Lumpy (1.5 yrs) has even started saying “bwast offffff!” No day is complete without imagining ourselves in space. Occasionally, I’ve tried to add some extra […]
Spare Parts Robot Craft
I can’t believe this fun craft almost didn’t happen. This post contains affiliate links that help support my family. Read more about that here. When I bought textured foam craft sheets, I knew that I wanted to make an awesome sensory alphabet with them. (Will be on the blog soon). After cutting out the letters, […]
Calm Down Bin For Sensory Meltdowns
(Scroll to the bottom to get a free calm down cheat sheet to keep as a reference!) When a child with sensory processing disorder throws a tantrum, it can be a doozy. When their brains don’t know what to do with the sensory input coming at them, it will often trigger a fight or flight […]
