Wowzers been awhile eh? So sorry but I have been crazy busy with work and being a mommy to my little ones. We have been doing lots of fun Christmas stuff but honestly I have been so tired in the evenings I don't feel much like posting every activity. Maybe over Christmas vacation or in the new year. Plus I find Pinterest sucks me in and before I know it A hour has passed and I'm falling asleep ;p Can you believe Jada is 4 and Gage is 9 months!! phew where did that time go? A little update on our cloth diaper situation.... The diapers I got from etsy just didn't make the cut so now we use fuzzi bunz and have never had a problem plus they are nice and thin so no extra bulk:) anyway frinds just popped in to say Hi andto let you know i will be back Merry Christmas Bloggy friends!!!!

September Trays 2012

Happy September!!! Jada Roo is off to kindergarten today and today is her 4th Birthday

Hands down the best "toy" I have ever bought. I looked everywhere for one of these and found it in the Melissa and Doug section at a toy store while on vacation.

Table setting

Extended play. Making a old play toy special again just by adding some peg people in a bag

Bath cling

And spooning aquarium rock.

Thanks for looking and please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to. Also see my sidebar for more trays :)

Long Jump Olympic Sensory

Yup ols school Olympics today. Jada wanted a new sensory bin and had little patience to wait so this was a quick bin that I put together.
Thanks so looking and please see my sidebar for the great blogs I link up to:)

Olympic Pool Sensory

In the spirit of the Olympics we are going to be exploring different Olympic Sensory bins for the next few weeks

Jada and her friends loved the swimming event. Lots of other children eager to get a turn

Tomorrow is a new day and new Olympic event. Thanks for looking and please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to:)

Cowboy Sensory Bin

Yehaw Cowboys and girls! I wanted to do something a bit different for fall this year. Yes, I am early posting this because I am not sure if I can get time in September to post. So I kept the fall feeling in this bin by using corn kernels. Also in the bin is alphabet noodles, cow, horse, sheriff badge, plastic cowboy hats and boots, cactus, plastic cowboy people, coyote, and cowboy themed erasers. I want to point out that I try to reuse food items in future sensory bins. This is also the case with the plastic plants and animals as well.

Little Red Riding Hood Sensory Bin

Jada want's to be Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween so I decided to put together a Sensory Bin in the same theme. I planned to add a house, basket etc but there is just no room in this bin. Maybe next time

I used rice dyed green, pinecones, wood trees, mushrooms, white rocks a peg doll and a wolf.

Pirate Shipwreck

So thanks to Disney's Jake and the Never Land Pirates we have a wee obsession with Pirates around here. I found it really hard to find pirate stuff at the dollar store which is strange because everywhere you look in N.S. every summer is pirates this and that. So I made my own peg pirates (girl and boy) and searched Etsy and bought a wood pirate from Armadillo dreams.
Now whats in the bin?
Rice as filler to look like white sand, wood gold coins, parrots, red X marks the spot, blue anchor, foam sponge shapes, palm trees, treasure chest, homemade Jolly Rodger flag and a fake pearl bracelet. I might add some silver dollars to the bin later

Our favorite book for our pirate theme is How I Became A Pirate by

Melinda Long and David Shannon. This book teaches you how to speak pirate and takes you along on a great sea voyage adventure.
