There are so many AMAZING play museums popping up all over the place and I have managed to check out quite a few in America and Australia. I wanted to share the #airplayground pop up currently in @scienceworks_melb which aims to educate kids about air simply by playing with and manipulating it. Each stand provides a quick and easy explanation of what it is trying to show and we both came out feeling quite a bit smarter. .(see last images) . @scienceworks_melb really have managed to really do a great job incorporating #learningthroughplay!! . Check out some of the videos to find some of our favorite stands! . . . . #sciencemuseum #stemmuseum #stemandplay #stemplay #thingstodowithtoddlers #toddleractivities #toddler #kidshavingfun #playtime #playactivities
Here is a Valentine’s Day fun fact... Ever wonder why a drawing of a ❤️ doesn’t look like an actual heart? The heart symbol we use today comes from the the idea of two hearts being fused together as one forming the iconic heart shaped symbol we know as LOVE. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! . .What are you doing for Valentines Day? Every year my husband and I talk about celebrating it on a different day (usually the weekend) so we are not competing for a booking at our favorite restaurants and not limited to a “set menu”. Today we did a lunch instead and our toddler had to come with us because we don’t live near family. It’s amazing how a toddler can somehow manage to suck all the romance out of the date, with their whining, not wanting to eat their food and wanting to run all over the place. I think my husband and I managed to have about a 30 second deep connection chat! Hahahah Writing this from my couch relaxing while my husband puts my son down for his nap while I overlook the beautiful roses on our dining table and listening to the thunderstorm brewing out the window. . . . #valentines #valentinesday2020 #valentinesurprise #valentineswithlittles #stemeducation #stemforkids #stemactivities #sensoryplayideas #manywaystoplay #getcreativewith #kidscrafts #kidscrafts101 #playeveryday #earlyyearsideas #earlyyears #educationalplay #homeschoolpreschool #handsonactivities #creativeplay #playideas #holiday_simple_play #invitationtoplay #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #everydayplayhacks #tagfromtheheart #easy_childhood_fun #STEMANDPLAY
#MagnatileBuildChallenge #Helicopter . The @magnatiles freestyle set was perfect for this challenge of making a helicopter out of Magnatiles because they have a set of them that have extra magnets in them that move around so I was able to attach them on an angle to a fidget spinner. The result was pretty awesome and with the clear tiles they made great windows. . . 🎁FOR 15%off YOUR NEXT MAGNATILE PURCHASE, USE STEM15 AT THE CHECKOUT AT MAGNATILES.COM. . . . . .. . . . #stem #stemeducation #stemforkids #scienceforkids #learningthroughplay #playdiscovercreate #buildingtoys #scienceonsaturdays #stemlearning #shareyourplaywithme #trayfortheday #sensoryplay #manywaystoplay #kidscrafts101 #earlyyearsideas #homeschoolpreschool #playideas play #invitationtoplay #everydayplayhacks #tagfromtheheart #easy_childhood_fun

If your toddler loves SINK PLAY, than this one is a good activity for them with an educational twist to learn about buoyancy and water pressure. . . Let them watch you show them a few tricks (like in my video) and then let them open end play and explore playing with a ping pong ball, a bottle with the end cut off and a slow running tap. . . . At first my son really enjoyed trying to recreate what I had done and then started exploring other things like: -having the water run through the bottle without touching the sides -watching the ping pong ball stay under the running water and spinning in place -filling up his bottle (with his hand over the bottom) and then releasing the water. -There was a ton of other things he did too, but these were my favorites. , . . .⭐️Also please note, we did not leave the running water on long and shortly after I filmed this I turned the water pressure right down so it was more a trickle because I do care about the environment and don’t like wasting water. I might even recommend doing this with water jugs instead of running water from the tap too!! . #stem #stemeducation #stemforkids #scienceforkids #learningthroughplay #playdiscovercreate #scienceexperiments #scienceonsaturdays #stemlearning #shareyourplaywithme #trayfortheday #sensoryplay #manywaystoplay #kidscrafts101 #earlyyearsideas #homeschoolpreschool #playideas play #invitationtoplay #everydayplayhacks #tagfromtheheart #easy_childhood_fun #STEMANDPLAY #sinkplayfriday
