While this blog was originally set up for potential and current daycare families, it is my hope that this blog will also be of service to fellow homeschool families of young ones and give ideas to mixed aged families on how to keep little hands busy while teaching older siblings.

On Our Shelves in August...

Hot August days seem like a great time for ice cream! So my theme this month for our sensory tub was...Ice Cream!  The kids had a great time serving 'sundaes', and the scoop and puffs are a good transfering activity for the little ones.



To keep with the ice cream theme, I made some Neopolitan scented playdough. It smelled so yummy! Expecially the chocolate!  The kids have been having a blast with this as well.


Homemade playdough is so much better than store bought! It can seem so much more realistic than the purchased kind.  Plus, some kids hate the smell and get headaches from it.  I like to make up a new batch of themed play dough every month.  That seems to be how long it keeps and the kids anticipate the new batch. :)
