Today we played outside! For the long winter days when playing outside is not an option, we often integrate another sensory experience. Today it was Moon Sand. Other days it is Play-Do, shaving cream or warm sudsy water. Mindful sensory play calms and focuses the mind and imagination. It’s a way of experiencing the world through textures and temperatures. Friends sing and socialize and strategize.

The hammock invites quiet observation. Swinging to and fro. Taking turns.

The Wild Kratts inspired a shape exploration.
