I saw this posted on the Toddler Approved Facebook page this morning and just has to share. There are some really fantastic ideas for sensory play here! My 3 year old LOVES these kinds of activities and would sit and play for hours if I let him!
Do your kids have a favourite activity?
Halloween is only 11 days away! Eeekkk! Now that I have little ones it has become one of my favourite holidays. With cooler weather in the forecast, what better way to kill some time indoors than with making fun crafts with the kiddos to get them in the spirit (after all, it’s not just about the candy!)? I scoured the web and Pinterest to find a few cute ones that are perfect for preschoolers! Enjoy!
1. Art projects using hand and footprints. Super cute and easy!
2. Halloween potato stamping. These are great for decorating treat bags and making cut outs for garland, too!
3. DIY Trick or Treat bags. There is so much you can do with this one, all with inexpensive supplies from the dollar store
(or if you are like me and have a hundred reusable shopping bags laying around you can upcycle!) . Think glue and glitter, fabric markers, paint,
whatever suits your fancy!
4. Thumbprint pumpkin patch… cute and simple!
5. Candy Corn Monster. While it is my personal opinion that candy corn is one of the most
disgusting foods on the planet, it is nice and colourful and perfect for gluing to stuff!
Need to drop a few pounds? Do you want to do it with the support of a great group of ladies who understand exactly how you feel, are motivated to change, and are determined to live a healthier lifestyle? If that doesn’t sell you, maybe you might be interested in the cash prize (the last winner won around $1400!)?
There is a brand spankin’ new 12 week Biggest Loser Challenge starting up TODAY and I wanted to share the info in case anyone else might like to sign up.

I have been meaning to post this one for a LONG time now and here it finally is!
Awhile back, I was contacted by Marie-Belle Pepin, the program co-ordinator for la ribambelle. La ribambelle is a French preschool in Sarnia that is also a hub for Ontario Early Years Centre programs. They offer free French activities for families.
She told me about the playgroup they offer and wanted to spread the word and encourage families to visit and see what it’s all about! Of course, I am always happy to share info about the programs available in our community. Everyone is welcome, you do not have to speak French! You just need to be interested in learning a new language. This is a great opportunity to teach our children about languages while they have fun and make new friends! The playgroup is on Tuesday afternoons from 1:30 – 3:30pm and is open to children ages 0 – 6 accompanied their parent/guardian. One Saturday per month, they also offer different activities such as family craft, cooking activities, physical activities, yoga, etc.. Please check out their website for more information on la ribambelle child care and activities: http://www.laribambelle.ca/en/calendars/category/sarnia/ and like them on Facebook : www.facebook.com/laribambellecentreprescolairefrancophone“
