Wait did you say “sensory play with shaving cream”? Yep. Shaving cream. If you haven’t figured it out yet by the rest of the things in my Sensory Play Series, just about anything can be turned into sensory play fun for your baby or little one. If they can put their hands in it, touch it, […]
Hey, Mamas! (and Dadas). I know it’s tempting to stay cooped up inside the house all day with your little one, but I’m telling you to pack up your bags and get out! It’ll be good for both you (and your sanity) and your little one. There is so much to do in Dallas with […]
I’m sure you have seen all the pictures I’ve posted and insta-story videos of G at all the different splash pads this summer. There are tons around us so we’ve been trying to check them all out. We’ve been going to one a week and he just can’t get enough. We have our little inflatable […]
A couple weeks ago we took G to the lake and he had so much fun playing in the sand, but he was also shoveling it into his mouth by the fist full. I wanted him to get to keep playing in it but was tired of having to wash his mouth every .2 seconds. […]
Another rainy Wednesday perfect for some indoor sensory play fun. Today, we put together some more sensory bottles.

Temperatures are rising and we’re finally getting some warm days. I mean we actually spent a few days at the pool last week for G’s first swim time! He loved it by the way, thanks for asking 😉 So to combat the hot sticky Texas days, I’ve been trying to figure out some more cooling off […]
This sensory play bin was SO simple to put together and happened by accident. I was putting together a little Easter basket for G to have on Easter Sunday, and as I was pulling out the colored plastic “grass” pieces, I just kept thinking it as such a fun texture and decided to throw it […]
Sensory play is so good for babies. It allows them to learn, explore, and develop their senses through imagination-based play and new experiences. Research has shown that sensory play for babies actually plays an important role in the development of babies’ brains and bodies, building nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s […]
What is sensory play and why should you do it? Sensory play for babies is basically any activity that allows your baby (or any toddler or kid) to safely explore using any combination of their senses.
