I love slime. Probably even more than my kids. There’s something just so relaxing about it. I knew when I saw this little witch that she was meant to be a slime witch. So that’s what she became. The Fun of Slime If I’m being honest, I don’t know why I love slime so much….
Shapes and playdough seem like such a great combination, right? Playing with something fun like playdough all while learning about shapes! I knew it was a winning combination and thus, the shape playdough mats were created! They’re great for open-ended play or more directed learning. There are so many great ways to learn about and work…
We like to go on walks through “nature” (the neighborhood) and pick up things we find interesting. I thought for once we would collect a bunch of different things that we find and use it to make prints in play dough. It’s just another way to explore nature! I tried to get them to…

I’ve been experimenting with some sensory recipes and finding some that work and a lot that don’t. Experimenting is fun though! This one I thought was particularly fun, although also quite messy. I took the recipe for slime and added cornstarch to it. In the end it is goopy, slimy, and a lot of…
