DIY Kids Kitchen for under $10 – Part 2

Play kitchen cardboard box

To be honest, I was starting to worry that it couldn’t be done. That this challenge that I had set myself to make Immy a play kitchen for under $10 was not going to be possible. It was the sink taps and spout that were getting me down. I was hoping to pick up a […]

DIY Kid’s Kitchen for under $10 – Part 1

Cardboard box kitchen

You may remember me posting about whether or not we should buy Immy a wooden play kitchen as she loves role playing, especially cooking. In fact she has been cooking eggs non-stop for about 5 days now, maybe she is in training to be a short order cook! We have decided that we will buy […]

Move over Wiggles and Hi-5…

Playschool is now way cool! Immy watches Playschool each day, usually in the morning as I am trying to shower, get dressed and check my email. I see Playschool as an appropriate show for a toddler and whilst I love singing and dancing along with her, I also feel safe in knowledge that Immy will […]

Simple percussion dance via Childhood 101

Each week we attend Wiggly Woo – a fun music and dance class for 1-5 year olds.

Toddler art experiences-Edible Fingerpaint via Childhood 101

Given that the weather has become rather less desirable for outings we decided to have a day on our staycation. One activity I have been meaning to try was the edible fingerpaint featured in The Lost Art Of Childhood by Sarah Bryden-Brown (see recipe below). As an early childhood teacher I am very embarrassed to […]

Rainy Day Play Ideas

Wet weather play ideas _ Childhood 101

What to do on a rainy day? Put on your gumboots and jump in puddles! Well, we actually waited for a break in the grey, rainy morning before we popped on our boots and headed out into the cold. Immy had a great time jumping and splashing in puddles. We all have days when we […]

Dramatic Play: The Story of a Cardboard Box

Cardboard box play ideas

The Story of a Cardboard Box The story begins. A doorway…it opens…it shuts… A window… Another window… Or maybe a peephole…or a letterbox… The story continues in the imagination and play of a little girl. Young children are easily enthralled by the limitless potential of a simple cardboard box but why is this type of […]
