Sensory Play

Something we've been neglecting a little lately is sensory activities, so the last few days have been declared sensory days! Basically, this means a LOT of mess. Especially as our vacuum cleaner is having a few issues lately (that should be sorted in a day or two when our new fully functioning hoover bags arrive!). But really, what's mess compared to this much fun?

We've painted on paper, our bodies, the cat (don't ask). We've played with new green play dough. We've tipped and thrown hay all over the place.

We've played music on Dada's keyboard, we've climbed into the kitchen sink and played with water (well, I say we...), we've gone out in the dark with Aunty Katy and Uncle David to look at fireworks.

Ian has a new video recorder, so he's been taking lots of adorable videos of little Bea.

Today we made a new sensory tub with dry rice, plastic cotton reels, jingly balls, big heavy marbles, twigs and rocks from the park. Audrey LOVED it. We added some things to scoop and pour with, and she had a great time making the biggest mess of the living room. Brilliant.

Whatever you're up to today, I hope you're having as much fun as we are!
