A bit random but thought I would share these, I think anyone with an artistic streak will appreciate the beauty 😍 The results of a little messy set up for my son. With no directio from me, he mixed his paints up with a tonne of water and then poured the mix on top of this cardboard. Overnight the board delaminated and this amazing artwork was left! He then went onto inject foaming soap into the cardboard pockets which again when left turned into what looked like turquoise jellyfish 😀 Early years magic 💕 #earlyyears #earlyyearsideas #earlyyearseducation #messyplay #messyplayideas #earlyyearsart #kindergarten #kindergartenart #paint #cardboard #recycledart #foamingsoap #rainbowcolours #colourmixing #pattern https://www.instagram.com/p/COZ4YxinGqf/?igshid=b90exxj2zd6s

I'm at work today, but have just received this from Daddy. More couscous play and family building from pipe cleaners. E is currently obsessed with all things "Stick Man" by Julia Donaldson. So they have been making a stick family. I'm impressed with the pompom usage for heads! #messymummying #sensoryplay #pompom #pipecleanercrafts #messyplayideas #craftactivites #parentingblog #toddlerblog #daddy #daddytime #dad #fatheranddaughter #earlyyearsideas #earlyyears #learnthroughplay

(Ad | Gifted) both the girls are mad on Peppa Pig 🐷 But do you know what? I’ve grown to actually like it. Some of the episodes are really good at teaching young ones everyday skills, like the one where Peppa learns what happens to the party invitation 🎉 she posts. Her voice can be challenging on the ears at times but I can see what kids love Peppa and her friends. @giftgivingallwrappedup have a new collection of Peppa Pig items now in stock. We love this cute tabard for messy play times and eating messy food with the cute bamboo dinner set. I’ve put the Peppa Pig money box away for the moment to stop any falling out! It will make a lovely Christmas gift 🎁 Are your children mad on Peppa Pig? . . . #peppa #peppapig🐷 #peppapiggifts #messyplayideas #bamboodinnerware #moneybox #christmasgiftideas #giftgivingideas #giftgiving #kidslovepeppa #giftgivingallwrappedup #merchandise #rachebustinblog #ukparentblogger #cornishblogger #peppaandfriends #kidsgifts #allthingspeppa #giftideasforkids #peppaloves #tabard #dinnersetforkids #kidsbambootableware https://ift.tt/2nhCUu7

🧊 Floral ice cubes 🧊 Muhtemelen şimdiye kadarki en popüler duyusal oyun fikirlerimizden biridir👌🏼 Çok güzel görünüyorlar! Buzdaki bu donmuş çiçekler o kadar güzel ki, onlarla oynamak için kendimi zor tutuyorum. Aslında bu aktiviteyi önceden hazırlamakta bir aktivite gibi diyebiliriz. Çiçeklerin seçilmesi, toplanması, suyun kalıplara teker teker dökülmesi gibi... #preschoolactivities #preschoolart #playisworkofchildhood #mycolorfulplay #creativemums #supportinginspiringaccounts #followthechild #artmatters #lightupmyplay #busylittlehands #playandcreatetoday #littlenaturebugs #sensoryplay #natureschool #wildandfree #messyplayideas #forestkindergarten #outdooreducation #reggioemilia #naturekids #openendedplay #childhoodunplugged #learningthroughplay #makecreateplay #getcreativewith #earlyyearsideas #simpleplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMiwQWMnBc/?utm_medium=tumblr

E requested to play with the coloured giant couscous today. "Mummy, we play big rice?" It's great having it all stored on the shelves as it encourages both of us to get it out a lot more. Earlier today we collected conkers in the park so I threw those in there too, along with good old pompoms and pipe cleaners. Just a really quick activity thrown together once you make the couscous. We have had this couscous made up for aaaaages and just store it in the food container between uses. E used it mostly for mark making to be honest, as she's really into drawing at the moment. She also poured it through the funnels, scooped it into a bowl, buried the conkers in the bowl and generally faffed happily about for half an hour with it. Its such a lovely texture to play with, I love running it through my fingers! #messymummying #messyplay #messyplayideas #messyplayactivities #sensoryplay #sensoryplayideas #toddler #earlyyearsideas #earlyyears #learnthroughplay #toddler #parenting #mumsofinstagram #familytime #mumlife #mummyblog #mummyblogger #mumblog #blogger #mumsofinstagram #newblogpost

SHAPE WEEK - swipe for mess! Find the circles in the foam. I set this up in our messy play tray. I covered circle shapes and large buttons in shaving foam and then scattered our ever faithful waterbeads on the top. E was initially reluctant, I showed her what we were looking for and then she was off! Within minutes she was in the tray digging around. Once all the circles were found she just played and played and played. She messed about for well over an hour in the foam. Its was hilarious to watch and play. Shaving foam feels so lovely and soft, its rather compelling to touch, mould and squeeze through your fingers. She was coated from head to foot. We had to shower it all off and the clean up took a while but it was so worth it!! Shaving foam will be a new one to add to the staple messy play diet! #messyplay #messyplayideas #sensoryplay #sensoryplayideas #mess #messy #messymummying #shapeweek #shaperecognition #circle #learningthroughplay #montessoriplay #parenting #mumsofinstagram #learnthroughplay #playideas #earlyyears #earlyyearsideas #education #mummyblog #mummyblogger #mumblog #blogger #mumsofinstagram #toddler

SHAPE WEEK On reflection I may have been over enthusiastic today. Although E can certainly recognise a circle in any form! And we had lots of fun!! This morning she had her invitation to play out, followed by some dry sensory play with coloured giant couscous. Then after a wizz round Morrisons, we had a circular lunch and a general play while I faffed with jobs. Next we went messy with circle hunting in shaving foam and water beads....followed by a shower! Finally we made mini circular pizzas. And then she continued the theme of her own accord by stickering the cat! I allowed it as he loves her an while she covered him in stickers, he laid on the floor purring his heart out, rubbing up to her and making puddings. So I figured they were both happy (and the stickers not very sticky). Although he went out of the catflap before I removed them, so hopefully noone thinks he's being abused! I'll add photos of the foamy mess!! Tomorrow...triangles! #shapeweek #shaperecognition #maybetoomuch #circle #circles #messymummying #messyplay #messyplayideas #sensoryplay #earlyyears #earlyyearsideas #education #parenting #mumsofinstagram #learningthroughplay #mummyblog #mummyblogger #mumblog #blogger

I've finished the dresser of dreams!! I love it! Beautiful organisation of what was a couple of boxes of stuff all thrown together and messy. I'd spend ages digging around in it but now I have it all to hand!! Pretty blooming proud of it!! All our craft, messy play and learning resources in one gorgeous place!

Lovely artwork done this morning for some birtdays we have coming up! But we used our squeezy paint pens. Supposedly not as messy as normal paints...not so! E quickly discovered that if you squeeze them really hard you can make the paint squirt out of the top like a "paint snake". She then followed this by biting the nib off of a crayola pen.

Have you looked inside a nappy? Has your small person jumped in the paddling pool in a normal nappy and it's expanded to enormous proportions? We did that today and then were intrigued by the contents, so we soaked a clean nappy and opened it up. SNOW!!!!! The nappies contain a super absorbant hydrogel, similar to the waterbeads we play with. We played for ages with this snow, just dumped in a mixing bowl. E loved burying her hands and her toys. I found her happyland penguin and polar bear, but apparently they also live with a couple of arctic horses. Now I want to experiment with nappies and my ever faithful food colourings!! #nappy #nappysnow #nappyexplosion #snow #snowfun #playideas #play #thingstodo #toddler #toddlerfun #kids #messymummying #messyplayideas #messyplayblog #learningthroughplay #earlyyears

A very tidy session checking my ingredients for the recipes section of my play book! Or not! E helped with the mixing and eventually had her own bowl of flour resulting in a light dusting of flour over...erm...everything!! #writing #writingabook #messyplay #messyplayideas #sensoryplay #playideas #earlyyearsideas #education #learnthroughplay #toddler #parenting #mumsofinstagram #learningthroughplay #mummyblog #mummyblogger #book #mumlife #craftactivites #craftforkids #craftideas

I planned to get lots done before E got up. She's usually not up until at least 8am (yes I know how lucky I am). But today, with all my plans.....6.50am!!! WHAT?!?!
