Scented sensory rice

Aussie scented sensory rice

January 17, 2014 by Kate 22 Comments

Australia is very well known for our cuddly koalas, kangaroos and squeaky clean beaches. As a nod to my Aussie love, I chose to make some unique Aussie scented sensory rice for play and exploration. Australia is one of the largest countries in the entire world, we even have our own continent. More than that, […]

January 13, 2014 by Kate 19 Comments

With this in mind I thought it might be fun for Possum and I to make our own version of the traditional musical instruments called clapping sticks.    Suggested Age: 2 years + You will […]

  It’s hard to believe that another year is drawing to a close and 2014 is steam rolling around so quickly.  Where does the time go? Possum is another year older and certainly much wiser and I take the time to reflect on what has been a terrific year of learning together on Laughing Kids […]

December 21, 2013 by Kate 2 Comments

I am a parent and with that I have such an overwhelming sense of responsibility to teach Possum (2 years) good values. She is growing up so fast and I know that the window of opportunity is well and truly open to teach her about the importance of compassion and how simple it is to show an act of […]

December 12, 2013 by Kate Leave a Comment

  Christmas time is such a wonderful time of year and it’s nice to be able to break free a few seasonal cookie cutters that have been hiding at the back of my over packed cooking utensil draw.    Each year I try and bake some cookies for friends and family but this year I […]
