Mummy + Me • May 2016

How are we at the end of May already? We have had a busy and fun month and have made a few memories together. We have definetly had a better month this month though. At the beginning of the month we travelled up to Lydden hill to got to the BHP show  we had fun watching the cars and camping out for the night. It wasn't as good as they had stated but we made the most of it and Lilly loved the cars, she is a complete car fanatic. Also this month our local pier was re opened after an awful fire, we visited  Hastings pier  not long after it opened and Lilly had a lovely couple of hours enjoying everything on there. We gave also been doing a lot of messy play this month, making the most of materials around our house to teach Lilly and play with too. We are not at the end of the month and are entering the half way mark of 2016 already! I seriously want time to slow down and to enjoy every moment possible.  We have had a lovely month toget...

Corn flour slime • Sensory Activity

I love doong sensory play with Lilly and this is one that we have dine recently, cornflour slime. This is so cool and so easy to make, it is also quite easy to clean up too. You will need - Cornflour - Water - Food colouring (extra) All you do to make the slime is put some conflour onto a tray or plate and slowly add  a little water, mix together until it forms a thin paste. You can add the food colouring here if you wish. I love this myself as it kind of forms a solid when being played with but will settle as a liquid. We like to make a fountain of our hands and let the liquid form run through oir fingers.  This is a brilliant messy play for toddler and you could always add bits to teach things or we have used to put over toy animals in the past to learn what certain aninals look like. It's also a great way in introduce the idea of solids and liquids to them I love doing this messy play with her and she absolutely loves it....
