In case you haven’t noticed, I really like imaginative play. Lucky for me, so do my kids! Kids learn so much from imaginative play. It is an holistic type of play, covering all areas of develop and allowing the child to focus on and learn whatever he or she is most interested in or ready […]
$2.50 Buys You Hours of Fun
I am such a sucker for a rainbow, so when my big boy spied this packet of plasticine at the local shops I gladly kicked in the extra fifty cents so he could afford it, but I didn’t realise how much fun we would have with it! My boy loves playdough, and initially he was […]

Easy Art For Kids – Painting Together.
Painting a mural together means you not only spend time painting, you also spend time negotiating, being patient and communicating. Not to mention sharing, encouraging, working together, planning, and helping each other. Sometimes, there’s more to painting than it seems…
Playing Shop.
