Pom Pom Tubes

I actually did this with two things in mind:

I need something quick and easy
I don't think Tegan will do this

Only one of those were right. And it was the quick and easy. So proud of my newly turned One year old, I showed her a few times what to do and she caught on and thought it was a blast! Something so simple, yet she was using her fine motor skills to the max! This is a great exercise for littles to work on hand eye coordination, pincher grasp, and so much more!

If I had more time and more tubes, I would have probably done more, but this seem to suffice. It kept her entertained for a good ten minutes which is not bad for literally no prep work. Taped them on the side of my kitchen island and viola!

Here is a video of her putting them in! 

Daily Sensory Bins

Every day I set out a bin, usually a "dry" bin of some kind of edible dried food (rice, peas, ect) for Tegan. Sensory bins like this are essential in our day to day. I need something to keep her busy and stimulated without too much set up. This is where these simple bins save my life!

I have currently about six bins of dry goods, and I always keep a batch of cloud dough, a simple mixture of flour and coconut oil and some essential oil.


Everyday when she starts to get fussy I whip one out and I have at least 15 minutes of a occupied baby! Believe it or not, it can make all the difference!

The best part, since they are dry foods I can easily sweep it back up and save it for the next time. All these foods are readily available at the dollar store so even if I need to replace it is very cheap to do so.
