Galaxy digging 🪐👷🏼‍♂️
Here’s the thing about play, it doesn’t have to make sense. Think about two things your kid loves. For mine, it’s diggers and space.

Guess what, they can go together and it’s FUN. So we’re playing along for and having a blast! And if you don’t follow Jessie go check out her page. Lots of simple and fun sensory dig ideas!

⭐️Doughrific Fun ⭐️
Y’all know we LOVE sensory play at our house. It’s basically always happening in some form somewhere. When Stacey at reached out to us wondering if we’d try her new dough bins I just had to say YES! She kindly gifted us bins for each of my boys. 💙🎁

The boys were ⓣⓗⓡⓘⓛⓛⓔⓓ when I opened these for them. So much instant imaginative play—made my mama heart very happy. ❤️ They’ve asked to play with them almost every day since we got them! I know people think I’d play dough as a “preschool” activity, but my 7 year old still loves it, and I find it’s a great creative outlet for him.

The bins have so many fun pieces. I was honestly pretty impressed with the sheer amount of items that fit into the bins. She includes three different colors of play dough (the sand one in the ocean bin was our fav) 🏖 She even includes ziploc bags to store your play dough in once you open it. 👏🏻👏🏻

She has so many offerings, including some of your favorite characters. I’m thinking Paw Patrol might be next on our list 😉

Go check out and comment here which bin you’d love to have!

Space Race Nugget Style 🪐
Did y’all know that some wooden toys ✨stick✨ on the Nugget? 🤯

It’s the magical combination of grains in the wood “sticking” to the microfiber of the Nugget covers. We love felt play on the and this is the next level!

Today we used some of our wooden train tracks and space toys to explore the universe. This is a perfect toddler or preschool STEM activity to explore: balance, building, motion, problem solving, and more!

Do you have a Nugget or are you dreaming of one? Tell me your favorite cover color below. I’m dreaming of a second! 🌈

Water Play 💦
Simple play is often the best play! If you’ve been watching my stories, you know I’ve been posting daily Amazon deals. Most are for kids, some for adults and home.

I found these colorful sponges (they called them reusable water balloons 🤔🤣) on a big sale. They are normally about $8 a pack but with the deal and coupon they were like $3 something. Anyway, they are so fun for water play!

I put some water in a bin on one side of our sensory table and the sponges in the other bin. Then my little guy scooped and poured water onto the sponges. He started walking around the whole table, scooping, pouring, then looping around and around. He was giggling and having the best time!

Sponges still linked under “deals” in my Amazon store.
