September Sensory Bin – Apple Theme

September 6, 2017 by Every Little Adventure Leave a Comment

Apple pie oats sensory bin

Hello everyone! Happy September! We just started fresh with new materials in our sensory table for the month. In August, my sensory bin filler was shredded paper--and I switched out the tools periodically to keep the kids interested. September's sensory table has a new filler: oats! We are starting out with an apple theme for the month of September, so I found some craft apples at Joann's. I also added pie tins, measuring cups, and measuring spoons to the oats for the children to pretend to make pies. Today was their first day playing with it, and EVERYBODY wanted to be at the sensory … [Read more...]

Grandparents' Day Preschool Printables

8 Inspiring DIY Outdoor Play Spaces

April 28, 2017 by Every Little Adventure 1 Comment

Inspiring Outdoor Play Spaces

Children thrive on imaginative play, and playing outdoors connects them with nature. At my house, I encourage my son to play outside as much as possible. Some days he complains that there's "nothing to do," despite the forgotten basketball goal and lonely scooter lying in the yard... you know how it goes. I've been so inspired by these DIY outdoor play spaces--mud kitchens, tents, and musical spots--that I'm motivated to create one for my son at home, and at my preschool, too! I love that most of these are inexpensive to build and wouldn't take longer than one Saturday afternoon to make. … [Read more...]
