We Play: The Original Home of Great Play Ideas

Let me introduce you to the newest members of our Christmastime family…

…this mini gnome family have moved onto our seasonal table and Immy is loving creating Christmas inspired adventures with them!

It has been so much fun sharing your play adventures over the past 34 weeks (wow, how many play ideas must that be, I would think well over 1000!). Next week will be the final We Play for 2010 but we will be back in January and I am very excited to share that you will see a brand new Childhood 101 coming to you in 2011, with lots of new features. If you are not a Childhood 101 follower, subscribe now to our RSS feed to stay in touch with the exciting new adventures I have planned!

What have you been playing this week?



We Play is a place to link up your own play experiences. Please read this post if it is your first time playing and link back to We Play in the body of your post.

Christie Burnett is a teacher, presenter, writer and the mother of two. She created Childhood 101 as a place for teachers and parents to access engaging, high quality learning ideas.

    I love your little gnomes!! I made some similar to that a while back and I bet my three year old would get a kick out of making a holiday place for them.

  4. Marita says

    They are so cute! Did you make them yourself?

    We've got a rubber duckie nativity and a Fisher Price Little People nativity that Heidi has been having a ball playing with. :)

    Just joined up for the first time. Found you while I was visiting Tots and Me. This is a wonderful blog link up. We do a lot of play mixed in with more "focused learning". I do a Tot School post but wasn't able to put in all my fun pictures that were just pure play. Now I have a place to do that. Thanks for hosting!

    Thank you for the gnome love, I didn't make them and if you follow the link it will take you to the etsy shop I bought them from :)
