5 Messy, Sensory Play Ideas for Toddlers

Hình ảnh
I'm excited to have another great guest poster here today ~ a fun mom whose blog's name just epitomizes life with young kids!  Those of you with younger children may have already heard about the sensory play movement (providing your kids with opportunities to play and explore using their five senses) .  However, for those of us with somewhat older kids, don't worry, many of the ideas for young toddlers can be just as fun for our big kids too!  Heck, after seeing these five great ideas Amanda is sharing today, I think even adults would have fun getting a little messy alongside their kids. Check it out... Hi, I'm Amanda and I blog over at Dirt and Boogers . I am thrilled to be guest posting today at Come Together Kids! I love Laura's blog! I'm the Mom of a 2 year old, J, and expecting a new baby in January. I believe that play is the most important part of childhood, so I blog a lot about the playful activities I do with my son. I also try to give some helpful t...

Play and Learn in a homemade puppet theater

I'm excited to share my blog space this morning with a guest host from "across the pond".  I love the way Rebecca and her girls worked together to make this adorable little puppet theater from a cardboard box ~ then used it for all sorts of learning activities (disguised as fun play!). Check it out... Hi, I'm Rebecca.  I'm just popping over from the UK where I blog at Here Come the Girls to show you my puppet theatre and some of the things we did with it. I've been blogging for nearly a year and love to write about all the fun we get up to as a family. I have three girls a five year old and twins who have just turned two - which means two lots of toddler tantrums - great! I am currently a stay at home mum although I teach a few days a month as a cover teacher at a local school.

Magic Crown Mirror (and Mirror, Mirror movie Giveaway!)

When I first saw the trailer for the new Mirror Mirror movie, I knew a trip to the theater would be part of our Spring Break plans.  Snow White was one of the first movies I saw in the theater myself as a little girl (when it was re-released in the 70's, not the original in 1937!) and I knew my own kids would love seeing a "real-life" version of one of their favorite animated movies.  The movie comes out on March 30th and it's rated PG, so it'll be perfect for my family. Then, shortly after I saw the trailer, I was contacted by the makers of the movie to come up with a craft or project inspired by the Snow White story.   Seriously, how cool is that?  One of my projects connected to a major motion picture?  It's the closest I'll ever come to being a movie star!!  Now, before I get to my project, here's a brief synopsis (check out the amazing cast!) One of the most beloved stories of all time is coming to life in the motion picture event for the whole ...
