Outdoor Fun

When I got up on Sunday morning it was lovely and bright, so I thought I'd make the most of the last good weather of the year and have some outdoor messy play.


Daniel has, in recent weeks, been quite upset when he gets any dirt or paint on him, insisting that it's cleaned up straight away. I decided I would roll out some paper for him to paint on, meaning that he would almost certainly get paint on himself.





He quite enjoyed it I think, and he liked using the foam triangle to make paint splodges and the cardboard roll was something different to use too. He was only a little concerned that he had paint on him...

Meanwhile I had made a couple of sensory bags for Emma. One was filled with red water, the other with water with pom poms and foam shapes in. I also put out some cooked spaghetti, cold beans and a bowl of flour.

Both Emma and Daniel enjoyed playing with all the things, espeically the sensory bags. I need to get some glitter to make some glittery ones for them as I am sure they would both enjoy messing with them.

Sensory play, and in particular the water bags and great thins to have around. Whilst Emma just enjoys chasing the shapes, I can talk to Daniel about how the bags feel, what we can see etc etc. I love having activities that I can do with both Daniel and Emma at the same time, each learning and taking their own things from it.
