Sometimes learning is approached on such a one dimensional level. Teachers speak information and kids are supposed to regurgitate that knowledge on to paper. Problem is, that doesn’t always translate into kids grasping concepts. My boys are just getting started in the world of “formal” education. But I’ve already seen a huge difference in […]
Number Recognition Sensory Bin
My boys are all about hands-on learning. When I introduce a subject in a way that they can touch, feel and interact with, there’s a much better chance that they’ll retain the knowledge I’m trying to impart. This activity was a simple way to practice number recognition. I just combined it with a simple sensory bin. […]

“Wintery” Sensory Bin
Ever have days were you desperately need to keep the kids happy, no matter what the clean up will be like afterwards? I was having one of those days. My husband was sick in bed, we’d been cooped up inside all week with no end in sight. The boys were impatient, I was impatient. Sensory bins […]
Lego Soup
Bath time causes dramatically mixed emotions around here. There was a time when Loopy would fight me with every ounce of his being once the tub turned on. (This was one symptom that eventually led us to finding out he has SPD). But now that he gets regular therapy, bath time is seen as play […]
Tactile Sensory Game
We’ve started learning about the human body this month for our tot-school and I’m pretty darn excited for all the activities we’ll get to do! After reading a book about the brain, my mom decided to challenge Loopy’s stereognosis. StereoWHAT??? Yeah, I didn’t know either. It’s the brain’s ability to identify an object without seeing […]
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 […]
