If you love all things Autumn and sensory play, but need some fresh new ideas, then you have come to the right place. We do some sort of sensory play daily. There are days I feel more motivated and have planned ahead, but there are also days I haven't planned anything...
Get out your play dough, kinetic sand, oobleck, clay, sand, or other sensory base, it’s time to learn some writing skills!Nope, I did not make a mistake there. We truly can help support writing skills with little ones without using a pencil and paper. Children need...
