We were having a tradesman coming to the house to do a few jobs, and there is nothing my son loves more is than becoming their apprentice for the hour and following them around. Some tradesmans are amazing and give him little jobs, or tell them what they are doing... but today we gave him a little activity just to play with some bits and bobs to do near him on the kitchen table. The idea was to screw or hammer in items into the foam on the X. He absolutely loved it and felt like a real handyman. My son is used to handling screws and bits because we have been putting together a huge ton of new furniture together lately, and I mean ALOT! . I might make a construction maths activity in the future to extend on this idea!!! . . Please note, you need to supervise your children when playing with nails, screws and small pieces. . . . . . #finemotorskills #finemotorskill #tinkertray #kmarttrayplay #themedplay #constructionplay #prekactivities #invitationtolearn #invitationtoplay #invitationtobuild #furnituredesign #furniturebuilding #kidsactivities #stemtoys #stemeducation #stemforkids #engineeringforkids #engineeringbasics #kidscraft101 #playdiscovercreate #playtolearn #everydayplayhacks #kmartplaytray #imaginativeplay #playideas #manywaystoplay #recycleandplay #smallworldplay #playandlearn
I was going to buy a map of the world for my sons bedroom wall, but instead I figured “why not make our own??”!!!! Not only does it become more personable, but it also becomes an activity in itself.. . I was actually surprised how much of these the countries he remembers. For a year we have had a big map sticker on our hallway wall (towards his bedroom at his height) that we let him explore and we referred to before we were about to fly somewhere overseas. . . . I think I might also use this map for a further activity to discuss where some of his toy animals come from and can lay them on the map. . . . . . . . . #shareyourplaywithme #trayfortheday #sensoryplay #sensoryplayideas #manywaystoplay #kidsart #kidscrafts #kidscrafts101 #playeveryday #earlyyearsideas #earlyyears #educationalplay #earlylearners #finemotorplay #simpleplay #homeschoolpreschool #handsonactivities #creativeplay #playideas #invitationtoplay #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #everydayplayhacks #tagfromtheheart #easy_childhood_fun #stem #stemforkids #stemlearning
My son is obsessed with anything trucks so I got him this robotic arm to pretend he was an excavator driver and pick up his LEGO blocks. Here is a little video of me showing him how to use the controls and watch how quickly he picked it up.. . This toy is meant for kids ages 10+ but I think that is because the whole robot has to be put together by ha d and it took my probably 10 hours! How much did it cost? Around $55 on Amazon. Is it worth it? No, the hydrolics were extremely temperamental and there was always one not working properly. I now cannot even get the pinchers you work after having this day two. BUT putting this together really taught me more about hydrolics! I have a better understanding of it so I think I’m going to create my own hydrolic toys for my son in the future, I just need to get my hand on a few syringes and tubes from somewhere!!! . . . . . . #stemactivities #stemforkids #codingforkids #codingisfun #toddleractivities #toddlerplaytoday #toddlerfun #stemtoys #playislearning #learningthroughplay #homeschool #homeschooling #learningathome #learningthroughplay #learningisfun #learningtoys #simpleplaywithletters #simpleplayideas #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #playtolearn #playtime #homeschoolfun #homeschoolpreschool #stemeducation #teaching2toddlers #prekactivities #constructionplay #kmartplaytray #kidslovelylearning
Wishing all the mothers who follow @stemandplay a big happy Mother’s Day! I hope you have an amazing day!. . I’m actually going to be celebrating it on Tuesday instead because I have uni assignments due tomorrow and need to nuckle down and complete them instead of taking lazy long strolls and what ever antics my boy has planned with his daddy!
Here is your mission: Follow the arrow codes to discover a sequence of letters to make up a word. . . . Because my son is only 3, I made a few adjustments to make this activity easier for him: 🔴 Because my son is not able to write letters, the stamps were a perfect alternative to document the letters he found. 🟠The focus was more on matching lower case letters to upper case letters. 🟡 I chose to do the letters in his name for letter recognition, rather than for spelling out a word. . . . I got the idea to do this from Kiki Prottsman’s cover of her book #myfirstcodingbook as my son is always pulling out her book and the front cover is probably his favorite. . . . . . . #stemactivities #stemforkids #codingforkids #codingisfun #toddleractivities #toddlerplaytoday #toddlerfun #playtray #playislearning #learningthroughplay #homeschool #homeschooling #learningathome #learningthroughplay #learningisfun #learningtoys #simpleplaywithletters #simpleplayideas #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #playtolearn #playtime #homeschoolfun #homeschoolpreschool #stemeducation #teaching2toddlers #prekactivities #prekfun #kmartplaytray #kidslovelylearning
We just discovered a little 🌱 from the seeds we planted recently and to keep on the theme a little we talked about plants and the parts of them. (We talked about roots but my son didn’t want to draw them today). . . Our favorite plant is a flower 🌸🌺🌼because they are pretty so we made some lovely flowers to display on my sons bedroom art wall. . . He is so proud of his creation and ran to his daddy to show it off the minute he was off a call. I loved how he confidently interpreted the yellow dot pattern of his paper as “Gum nuts”. 😆 I tried explaining what Gumnuts REALLY look like, but he was still convinced. . Watch the video past the quick instructions in the video to see His view of his own artwork. Its adorable. I had never heard him talk like that before. . . . . . #learningathome #learningthroughplay #learningisfun #learningtoys #simpleplaywithletters #simpleplayideas #popsiclestickplay #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #montessori #playtolearn #playtime #homeschool #homeschoolfun #homeschoolpreschool #stemeducation #toddleractivities #teaching2toddlers #prekactivities #prekfun #kmartplaytray #kidslovelylearning #toddlerart #artoftheday #artideasforkids #prekactivities
