Learning Through Play.

Lessons at home with the little man are having spillover benefits for the other siblings. 

I've been exploring more interactive ways to learn and using more sensory mediums for play. 

I brought home a small bucket of sand from our last trip to the beach, and picked up a bag of glass nuggets from Bunnings:

Beach scene by our big girl and her friend. 

The little lady busies herself too and has been very interested in drawing "love hearts" lately. 

This afternoon, we made slime. Our first time working with borax and we discovered that adding more borax results in a less malleable, more dense slime. 

Hours of fun for the older three! We made a small batch of taste-safe marshmallow slime for our little lady to play with separately. 

I learn along with these guys too, which is a bonus. The two cheap gray trays I bought on a whim (inspired by the Ikea Flisat table) have taken play to a new level for us.
