TMT: Shaving Cream

Posted by Melitsa in Homemade, Memes, play activities

Yesterday I posted about the shaving cream activity. Today is Tell me Thursday.

I found a dinner tray and covered it with shaving foam. It’s amazing what the kids will do with it. Cookie trays work even better to contain the foam but a good clean up afterwards is easy with the nice smelling shaving foam. Usually kids cannot resist touching it and moving it around. They don’t need us to encourage them unless they are tactile sensitive. For those children this is a great activity to start them off in exploring new sensations because it comes off easily with a wash and it smells good too. Additions are always good too like adding glitter or cereal.

9 play activities for cars and hotels

Posted by Melitsa in Homemade, Media, Outdoor play, play activities, Thought of the week

We’re on holiday this week.

Apart from packing your suitcases and… your whole life it’s hard to know what to take for the kids. Now, if the car journey to get there is long too. You could find yourself packing your entire toy collection into that small car.

Here’s a look at some posts that’ll give you some ideas of what we’ve done that worked. Most of them little or no preparation. You can find the materials easily or they are small enough to fit in the seat back:).

Going to a relatives house can be troublesome because they have different toys, or no toys; no kids or no babyproofing. Everything is different and unexpected. It’s a bit of minefield getting it right.
