  • 🍎 🐊 🐜 Fine Motor Fun with Letter A 🐜🐊🍎 Miss 2 had fun exploring the letter ‘A’ this morning and making the sounds an ‘a’ makes! She then traced the letters with her fingers before threading her worm through the apple. We are now off to the shop to do some grocery shopping and spot some A’s along the way! #playinspiredmum #learningthroughplay #letterrecognition #phonics #playathome #homeschooltoddler #playbasedlearning #funwithletters #learningresources #printables #toddleractivities #toddlerplayideas #educationalplayideas #finemotorskillsactivities #mummyblogger #australianmummyblogger

  • 🌈 DIY Colour Matching with Crayon Rocks 🌈 Miss 2 was instantly intrigued when I began colouring little swatches of colour onto her piece of paper. She loved helping match the Duplo colours to match the rows before we cleared all the @crayon_rocks_australia off the page in preparation to match them up again! First we had a guess then tested the crayon rock next to the colour swatch before deciding if it was the correct crayon! Fine motor, colour matching fun that involves a few steps to complete the task. School readiness for 2021, we are coming for you! 😉 Love these crayon rocks?

  • Celebrating one year of being a study Mum! Even 18 months ago, I would never have imagined myself being a student again, let alone a university student. While I love being a SAHM, it has been so empowering learning and engaging in ‘adult topics’. My vocabulary is coming back, the cogs are turning quicker and the baby brain cloud is lifting! If you have been considering studying, do it! Sourcing high education books has been so easy with @booktopiabooks offering a huge range, fast delivery across Australia and great prices (with AfterPay!) Bring on 2020 and the second year subjects! Can’t wait to discover and learn 🙌 #studymum #ad#booktopia #preserviceteacher #unilife #backtouni

  • 🐋 🏝 Storm Whale Bookish Play 🏝🐋 Storm Whale is Miss 2s favourite book at the moment. Borrowed from our local library only on Monday, I wouldn’t even be able to tell you how many times it has been read since. We acted out some scenes from the story with this sensory small world ; coloured water, wet sand and some beachside loose parts. This little set up evolved into a pouring and sorting activity and then she made some yummy mud cakes 🐚 #play #sensoryplay #smallworldplay #loosepartsplay #kmarttray #kmartplaytray #whales #beachedwhale #stormwhale #comprehensionbuilding #bookishplay #readingwithkids #playtolearn #pretendplay #creativeplay #waterplay #sensoryplayideas #playathome #learningathome #vocabularybuilder #toddleractivity #toddleractivityideas #sensorysmallworld

  • 🧂 🌈 Coloured Salt 🌈🧂 The brief was to sprinkle coloured salt onto their glue designs and watch the colours mix and blend. Colours were blended... and Miss 2 made her own salty glue hoop 🤦‍♀️🙌😂 #playinspiredmum #freelanceplay #colouredsalt #art #colourrecognition #sensoryplayidea #sensoryplay #sensoryplaytime #playathome #toddleractivities #toddlersofinstagram #playtolearn #messyplay
