Sensory play

My kids love some good old fashion sensory play. My 3 year old is a sensory-seeker, so getting her hands dirty is actually good for her.  Here are a few of our favorite sensory activities:

Spaghetti Painting:

                                                 Oobleck

Oobleck Recipe:

2 cups of corn starch

1 Cup of water (mix in slowly)

2-3 drops of food coloring (optional)

Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

                                                                  

Rice sensory Bin: add spoons, cups and toys

Colored ice cubes

Rainbow Rice Bin: add spoons, shovels and little toys for the kiddos to find.

                                                          Rainbow Rice: 
 Put rice in a Ziploc bag and add 2 TBS of rubbing alcohol and several drops of food coloring. Shake the bag to mix the color. Spread the rice on a cookie sheet to dry.

Catching up on baby posts

I have been seriously slacking with posting pictures of little Maya. Here's a catch up post of the last 3 months.

Happy 3rd Birthday Olivia

I've been meaning to write this post for months now!

 

 

I can't believe you are 3 year old already! You are officially a big girl now! You are spunky and sassy, but you have a very sweet side too. You are the best snuggle buddy at bedtime, and I adore your love for books (just like your mama). You are definitely a fashion diva and have an obsession with shoes and nail polish! We just love having you as a part of our family. <3
