I’ll be honest, there have been plenty of times I’ve looked at rice all over the floor and questioned my life choices. 

But sensory play has become one of my favorite ways to spend time with my kids because it slows us down. There are no instructions to follow, no pressure to create something “right,” and no expectations beyond simply exploring and having fun.

Some days I join in. Other days I sit nearby with my coffee and watch where their imagination takes them.

Either way, some of our sweetest memories have come from the simplest activities. 

Do your children love sensory play, or are they more into building, crafting, or pretend play?

Beat the heat and join us for Story & Sensory Play!

We’ll start with a themed story and then explore open-ended sensory play stations.

There is no right or wrong way to play! Parents can join in or relax while little ones explore at their own pace.

I’m testing both a weekday and Saturday option this month, so grab a friend and make it a playdate! ✨

Rainy days can go one of two ways…

loud, chaotic, and endless snack requests OR slow, contained, and surprisingly peaceful.

Save this moon sand recipe for the second one!

It’s one of my go-to sensory setups when I need my children engaged…and I need my nervous system to exhale for a minute with my coffee still warm.

Moon Sand Recipe:
✨4 cups all-purpose flour
✨½ cup vegetable oil
✨A few drops of food coloring

Mix until soft, squishy, and moldable.

Simple ingredients and a big impact on the energy of the day!

Mom brain moment over here 🙈

I had to fix one of the class dates, so here’s the updated flyer with all the correct details.

Everything else is the same, I can’t wait to craft, play, and explore with you and your littles!

A quick, low-prep game that gets kids moving while they learn colors and shapes.

1. Fill an old sock with rice or beans and tie it closed to make a bean bag. (Optional: decorate it.)

2. Cut out large paper shapes (circles, squares, triangles) and color them in different colors.

3. Spread the shapes on the floor or grass and stand a few steps back.

4. Choose one person to call out a color, a shape, or both (example: “Blue circle!”).

5. Toss the bean bag and try to land it on the correct shape.

6. Take turns being the caller and the thrower.

Optional challenge: balance the bean bag on your head and walk to the correct shape without dropping it.

Once you’ve tried this activity at home, let us know how it went (and share a pic if you can!)
