“The Very Hungry Caterpillar”
May, 2021
As a tribute to the late Eric Carle, I used dyed pasta, play dough, and natural kinetic sand to recreate one of my son’s favorite stories in this vibrant, fun, sensory play tray.
A Home for Sophie the Giraffe
June, 2021
We ended Letter "G" week with a play tray dedicated to our favorite giraffe, Sophie! We used some of our favorite open-ended toys and loose parts, as well as Babble and Chatter's beautiful "Green Grass" sensory play filler. This amazing filler is dyed by hand in small batches with organic food grade ingredients and phthalate-free, cruelty-free, gluten-free, vegan essential oils. We paired it with dyed pasta to create a beautiful paradise, for our beloved, Sophie!
Counting Play Tray
June, 2021
CharsJars is my favorite shop for Resin resources. I created this play tray with her super fun Counting Kit, as well as her beautiful resin letters and numbers. Prior to discovering CharsJars, I had purchased resin products from a number of other shops; the quality of CharsJars is superior to all. The resin products are strong, beautiful, waterproof, and most importantly, have ZERO chemical smell.
Happy 4th of July!
July, 2021
When the pandemic makes the shore unsafe for July 4th weekend, you bring the beach to you. :)
I created the base of this play tray with home-made "beach sand" using flour, coconut oil, water, and 100% natural food coloring. Stay tuned for a blog post with more details!
Exploring the Jungle
July, 2021
I created our jungle using Babble & Chatter's gorgeous round tree tray and some of her beautiful sensory rice fillers, including the Eucalyptus Trio and Lucky Scindapus. I have always loved creating play trays obviously, but since discovering this shop, creating has become a spa-like experience. Everything smells so good and with just the perfect amount of scent. My little man LOVED this play tray and says the dried flowers Babble & Chatter uses in many of the fillers, are his treasure. <3 I can't wait to share more of the beautiful resources in this shop! Stay tuned!
National Soft Serve Ice Cream Day
August, 2021
Have you ever incorporated resin goodies into you sensory play? If not, it's a MUST. :) Resin is amazing because you can use it in water, in mud, play dough, or any other messy filler your littles like to get their hands on. :)
August 19th was National Soft Serve Ice Cream Day (yes, that's a thing :)). In honor of the holiday, we celebrated with these absolutely adorable resin ice cream cones from CharsJars! I paired them with a number of our favorite toys, as well as some fun fillers from Babble & Chatter that smell amazing.
