Come Play With Us!
We are really digging this night sky theme! My kiddos and their classmates are really into sensory exploration right now, and the starry night sky lends itself to so many amazing sensory activities. Today we delved into the world of slime and gak for the first time, and I'm SO glad we did- the kids played with this for hours, and Daddy even joined … {read more}
My children (and I) have a serious love affair with playdough. It's our go-to activity for rainy days, lazy days, cranky days...just about any day, really! Seeing them spend entire afternoons happily engaged with something so simple is motivation enough for me to keep trying new versions to delight them. And thank goodness their preschool class … {read more}
I'm back with another of our night sky activities- shooting star beanbags! One of my favorite memories from my childhood is lying in my front yard with the neighborhood kids watching meteor showers. Although my three-year-olds aren't quite ready to tackle the science behind a shooting star, they can certainly participate in some active play … {read more}
Hi friends! This has been an exciting week so far- we are studying "the night sky" at the co-op as our last unit before summer break, and I have been planning all sorts of fun activities for the twins' classroom. I'm really grateful that their teacher welcomes my enthusiasm ;) In fact, she's letting me plan the entire unit, so get ready for lots … {read more}
Have you ever tried making ice cream in a coffee can? It was one of my go-to summer therapy activities for groups of all ages and is now something I am excited to enjoy with my own children. These photos are from last summer when the twins were two, and they are already begging me to do it again now that the weather is warming up. Can't say I … {read more}
Summer is just around the corner and Texas temps have already climbed into the 80s and 90s, which means my little ones are chomping at the bit for some water play! Today I am sharing an idea from one of my early tot school posts when the twins were only about 16 months old (almost 2 years ago!). It was super simple and easy to set up, but you can … {read more}
Today I'm sharing a fun and easy play recipe that my three-year-old twins loved- birdseed playdough! The addition of birdseed to our basic playdough recipe was a really neat way to incorporate the twins' current interests, stimulate language development and pretend play, and add an interesting texture to our dough. This post contains affiliate … {read more}
Today I thought I'd share a quick snack idea that we've been enjoying lately around Twodaloo central. I love snacks that double as activities...I guess you could call them "snacktivities," hah! ANYway, this is one that we even took to share with our co-op friends during outdoor adventure week at school, and it was a hit with the 2s and 3s class. … {read more}
Today was another parent helper day in the 2s and 3s class at the co-op, and I had a fantastic time (I think the kids had fun, too)! The theme for the next two weeks is "outdoor fun," so we celebrated the beautiful spring day with one of the twins' favorite process art activities from last summer- making a giant Rainbow Bubble Wrap Tree. If you … {read more}
