Messy play to stimulate the senses

A while back we took our little guy to the local parents-as-teachers "messy play date" event for preschoolers. They had set up all kinds of play tables full of toddler-appealing things to touch and feel, such as...

wet, gooey spaghetti noodles...a pool full of shredded paper...
a tub of green slime...
Jello!
potato flakes and sand toys...
He had a great time and the really fun part is that if we ever get bored at home we can recreate some of this pretty easily and have our own messy playtime in the kitchen floor.

Playdate at the Park!

Biscuit and I have been itching to meet some new friends outside of church and work these days so yesterday we joined a playgroup we found on Meetup! Our first playdate was at the park and we both had a great time getting to know some other mommies and kiddos from around town. The group has an awesome list of activities (something always going on!) so we should have plenty of social time now!! Yippee!!
