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

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, […]
Edible Skin Layers Cake
I have a special treat for you all today (pun intended). My friend Vanessa taught her students some sweet biology by making an edible skin layer cake! I can’t imagine any kid that would be against this tasty way of learning! I’ll let her explain the process. Hi friends! Sorry it’s been awhile, I got […]
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 […]
Books about Astronauts
After completing our unit on different careers, I had a better idea of what my son was interested in learning about next: Astronauts. So off we went to the library to find books about astronauts. Here are our favorites. Astronauts and Other Space Heroes by Sarah Thomson was full of so much information about individual astronauts […]
Confessions of a Half-Hearted Cloth Diapering Mama
When I was pregnant with my first child, I was on a “I will be the perfect mom!” kick. (Read how that turned out.) Everyone else had tried this thing, but I was gonna do it right. I was going to do everything right. I thought one of those “right” parenting choices was to use […]
Obstacle Courses for Sensory Input (From Objects You have at Home!)
My son is a typical little boy. He loves to jump, climb and crash his way through the day. For him, it’s more than fun, it’s a need. He uses this rough and tumble sensory input to help him feel secure in his little world. He’s been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder. One way I […]
