Light Up the World Earth Day Craft: Encourage recycling and innovation through this simple earth day craft that will light up awareness on taking care of our world through our daily actions!
With Olivia’s Autism she can tend to get pretty obsessive about certain aspects of our day to day life. Teeth must be brushed after every meal and snack…shoes must be tied just a certain way…and recycling —anything and everything that can be recycled must be. While there are times that this tries my patience levels, having a child that is so focused on taking care of herself and this world is for myself a huge blessing. It serves as my daily reminder {often happens many, many times a day} that it is our jobs to take care of what we have.
Ocean Animals Science Sensory Bin: Sea shells, fossils, shark teeth, and more! This simple sensory bin is a great way to get children exploring marine life through sight, sound, touch, and even scent! Both my toddler and my early elementary aged child enjoyed and learned through this hands on activity!
Sensory bins are something that we absolutely adore around here! They are simple to throw together, fun to play with, and just all around a great way to explore different concepts. For this sensory bin we received a Sea Life Specimen Center from Lakeshore Learning for review.
Letter Factory Mixed Up Letters Game! This simple game is a fun way to get kiddos exploring phonics and letter recognition all while having some simple sensory fun!
Earlier this week we were sent the new Amazing Word Explorers by Leap Frog for review and my kiddos absolutely fell in love with the new DVD…not that it was that hard of a sell for our family as we adore all Leap Frog learning materials and have used the Letter Factory DVD series to teach all of our kiddos literacy skills.
While educational cartoons can be a great way to pique a child’s interest in certain topics {and pull them into a fun world of imaginary play exploring that topic} it is also important to reinforce that learning away from the screen. Simple games such as this Mixed-Up Letter Factory Sensory Bin are a great way to do just that!
