Kids Crafts, Sensory Play, Science, and More
Over the summer, we participated in Camp Slumberkins which promoted a growth mindset for our children. We learned so many different things each week. The weeks were divided into four different growth categories. We learned to try your best, be flexible, take a break, and keep trying. One of the first activities that we did was something called Oobleck. This was a sensory activity that I had not heard of yet but I was so excited to try it.
Read moreApril Showers… to kick off the start of April today, we decided to make a Rain Cloud in a Jar! This is such a fun experiment. This experiment truly mimics how clouds fill with water and what happens once the clouds are too full. It helps to explain in a visual way, why we get rain. As the first day of April, it true form, we are expected to get some showers but the morning started out nice a sunny so we did our experiment outside.
Surprisingly, something that I have not talked about before is our absolute love for reading in this house. My kids can truly disappear into books for hours on end. Our favorite day of the week at school is library day. Most afternoons when they arrive home with a new library book, they disappear into a chair and just devour their new books. We frequent our local library all the time. The other way that my kids love to enjoy books is also their Yoto Players. This month, in honor of National Reading Month, I am diving a little more into our Yoto Player and how we use them at our house!
