I don't know what it is about farm animals, but everyone of my girls has gone through a "farm stage," where they just couldn't get enough of farm animals.

To that end I've collated a list for you of 20 ways to explore farm animals with a 20 month old. Many of the activities can also be used with younger and older children.<br />
<br />
<b>Let the fun begin!</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Books! Books! Books!</b><br />
One of the best ways to expand your toddler's vocabulary and to explore ANY subject that they are interested in is to read to them! Reading to your toddler for just 15minutes a day can make a HUGE impact on your child's life.<br />
Here's 5 farm books that my kids love:<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307979644/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0307979644&linkCode=as2&tag=squigandbub02-20&linkId=ac104b49737e3b185d1e01a287a4394d" target="_blank">Old MacDonald Had a Farm </a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=squigandbub02-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0307979644" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />-everyone loves a little Golden Book! This was Bubbles' favourite farm book. We spent many, many nights singing it, over, and over, and over again! <br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0718087569/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0718087569&linkCode=as2&tag=squigandbub02-20&linkId=a64448b2561d5beb82fabc9afe94c9a3" target="_blank">God Loves You, Little One</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=squigandbub02-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0718087569" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />-a touch and feel and lift the flap book, this has been JB's favourite for over a year now. It's quite simple and goes through the sounds each animal makes using rhyme.<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0141500077/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0141500077&linkCode=as2&tag=squigandbub02-20&linkId=2ca2cd6bdc7be663c3bc9189da94cf73" target="_blank">Stuck in the Mud</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=squigandbub02-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0141500077" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />-this book has been loved by all three of our kids, it's simple, the text becomes predictable which means the kids can join in reading and the end is quite funny too.<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/071808831X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=071808831X&linkCode=as2&tag=squigandbub02-20&linkId=c5b736bedfd7312bdf7a946ee728cafe" target="_blank">Night Night, Farm</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=squigandbub02-20&l=am2&o=1&a=071808831X" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />- I bought this book for my niece because Numnut had made her a farm for her birthday but also because had Owls in it which my SIL loves. It was such a good book, I ended up buying a copy for our kids too. As you'd expect it goes around the farm and wishes each of the animals a Night Night.<br />
<a href="https://amzn.to/2l5Mzj6">Goodnight Farm</a>-again, this book takes you on a journey around the farm. It has more text than your usual toddler book which helps increase vocab and also means it will grow with your child. JB's favourite bit is ofcourse the touch and feel elements.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://besttoys4toddlers.com/farm-sensory-bin/"><b>2. Sensory Bin</b></a><br />
Encourage your child to explore their new interest with their senses by creating a sensory bin! This one from Best Toys 4 Toddlers looks like so much fun and is simple to create: <a href="https://besttoys4toddlers.com/farm-sensory-bin/">https://besttoys4toddlers.com/farm-sensory-bin/</a><br />

<a name='more'></a>We love block play here-it's one of those timeless, ageless activities that all three girls can enjoy together. <br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
<br />
When
I was pregnant with JB the girls had a bookcase in their playspace
dedicated solely to blocks. Our block space was heavily inspired by <a href="http://www.aneverydaystory.com/2012/08/08/a-reggio-inspired-block-corner/">An Everyday Story</a> so if you're after inspiration I highly recommend you <a href="http://www.aneverydaystory.com/2012/08/08/a-reggio-inspired-block-corner/">jump over and have a look</a>.<br />
<br />
I wanted to make something
special for the girls construction area and also something that JB could
enjoy once she was born. So, we created some photo blocks. The older
girls could use them in their play and JB could use them as she
discovered faces and learnt about her family members.<br />
<br />
I
searched for ages for a method to transfer images to wood but never
found one I was capable of or could find all the ingredients, so made up
our own method, similar to those I'd looked at but using what we had in
the house.<br />
<br />
I never intended blogging about the photo
blocks so I don't have any process photos however the technique I used
for the photo blocks is the same I used recently to add features to a
little owl Numnt made for our niece, so allow me to share those pictures
with you.<br />

<u><b>What you need:</b></u><br />
Black and white digital image<br />
Printer (Ours is a Canon Pixma)<br />
Printer Paper<br />
Baking Paper<br />
Scissors<br />
Glue stick<br />
Credit Card<br />
Wood that you want to transfer your image on to<br />
Olive Oil Spray<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>WARNING!!!</b></span><br />
Before
I give you any directions, I do need to warn you: I have had baking
paper stick and get caught in my printer using this method! There is a
chance you may wreck your printer. Proceed at own risk!<br />
<br />
<u><b>The how to:</b></u><br />
1.
Cut your baking paper to fit the piece of printer paper. Make sure
there's no paper over hanging. Use the glue stick to glue the baking
paper to the printer paper-make sure you glue those edges well! (If
paper over hangs or you don't glue it well there's a high chance it will
catch in the printer).<br />
<br />
2. Bring up your image on the
computer. Set your properties so the printer prints at it's best setting
ie the one that uses the most ink.<br />
<br />
4. As soon as the
image prints, peel the baking paper off the printer paper, lay it on
your wood (ink side on the wood) and scrape the credit card accross the
paper. Make sure to keep your image in place, if it moves so will the
ink and your picture will smudge.<br />
<br />
5. Allow ink to dry for a day and then seal by spraying lightly with olive oil. Clean excess oil off with a clean, dry cloth.</div>

<span class="il">Hi all! It's Ashlee from <a href="http://lovingnaturallyaus.blogspot.com.au/">Loving Naturally</a> back again. Welcome to
another <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/01/playfulbaby.html">Playful Baby</a> post! </span><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<span class="il">Light</span> can some times be taken for granted, it's not until we are in the dark that we truly appreciate the magic and wonder that <span class="il">light</span> brings. Turning a wall into a puppet show or a pumpkin into something spooky.<br /></div>
For a toddler exploring <span class="il">light</span> is just as magical. Little A loves <span class="il">light</span> torches, they can keep her entertained for hours, hiding under the bed shining it around. </div>

<a name='more'></a>This month we decided to have a <span class="il">light</span> station in our play area. Not owning a <span class="il">light</span> table we had to get creative.<br /></div>
Taking
a small shelf, some frosted glass from our old coffee table and a lamp
we got to work. We put the shelf on its back, the lamp inside and then
the glass over the top we made a quick and simple <span class="il">light</span> table right at Little A's height.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

First
we started with our see through color blocks then moved onto plastic
sticky notes and Little A's favourite... plastic blocks. Sitting these
blocks atop of the <span class="il">light</span> they GLOWED. The magic
took over and we spent the next 45 minutes exploring the different
colors and how they changed, different brands glowed differently and the
higher we stacked them the less "magic" they were.</div>

After
spending time with the blocks, I let Little A explore on her own. She went
and gathered her toys returning with a rubber ducky, a cow and a couple
of other small bits and bobs. These kept her happy and content for ages and
all we did was add <span class="il">light</span>, by doing this we opened up a new world to explore filled with wonder and limitless fun.<br /><br />This month we are giving away a <a href="https://www.thecreativetoyshop.com.au/products/grimms-medium-stacking-rainbow">Grimm's Medium Stacking Rainbow</a>.

<a name='more'></a>Light and shadows are absolutely magical to babies and young children. Over the years I've found that simply adding a little bit of light play to an ordinary activity takes it to a whole other level. When Bubbles was little we played with <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/duplo-on-light-table.html">duplo</a>, <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/rice-on-light-table.html">rice</a>, <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/coloured-salt-on-light-table.html">salt</a>, <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/leaves-on-light-table.html">leaves </a>and even just <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/simple-light-table-play.html">things from the kitchen cupboards</a> on the light table. Adding the light to otherwise ordinary items turned them into almost magical objects.<br />

<br />
This activity was super easy to set up. I simply grabbed an old bouquet of flowers that Numnut had given me, separated the buds, petals, stems and leaves, placed them in a bowl on the light table and added two photo frames (minus their backs and glass). The photo frames were more for Bubbles (6) and Squiggles (4) to establish that two could play at once and define play spaces, if I were setting it up for JB (1) alone I would have just popped the plant pieces on the light table. Next I simply moved away and waited for the girls to show an interest.<br />

Squiggles was the first to take an interest. We've previously done a similar activity but with contact paper on the frames, so initially she asked when I was going to put the "sticky paper" on the frames. After being told I wasn't though she immediately started searching through the bowl for a stalk, leaf and flower. Bubbles then joined in making her own beautiful flower creation.<br />

JB didn't really show any interest in the invitation until two days later when I turned around to discover her very carefully sorting the plant pieces from one frame, to the bowl, to the next frame and then back again. As she picked up the plant pieces she rubbed them in her fingers...and tried tasting a few though she quickly decided they weren't for eating. She spent a good 5minutes sorting before she decided to clear the whole table and dump the contents on the floor!<br />

<a name='more'></a>If you're
anything like me you dreamed of having this beautifully decorated reading
corner for your little munchkins, with plush pillows and soft blankets
to snuggle under while you go on a magical journey into another world. I
tried this with Miss L with little success as Miss L didn't find her
love of books until she started school, and now with Little A, it's a
whole other story. She is OBSESSED with animal books. If she sees a
book and there is an animal on it, IT IS NOW HERS! To try and pry these books
from her tiny hands starts World War III.<br />

Alot of our
reading is done at bedtime, with us all loaded into Miss L's bed to do
her reader and library book for school. However during the day...Little A
takes over. We have a wide selection of books from Dr Seuss, My Little Pony, Disney Princesses and more BUT all we read is the "My First Animals" over and over and OVER AGAIN. Little A loves all the animals in
this book and then finding them in our everyday adventures. As much as I
loathe reading this book over and over again Little A gets so much out
of it, we have expanded our vocabulary rapidly, as she recognises the differences between each animal in the real
world.<br />

With cows being Little A's favourite at the moment
there is a lot of "COW?" "Cow?" "Mummy cow?" when cooking dinner,
sitting on the toilet or when you finally get that shower to wash your
hair and you turn to face the shower door only to see your child's face
squished on it so hard while they scream "COW!" and bashing their book into
the door repeatedly until you abort your hair wash, wrap your towel
around yourself and sit on the floor with them for the 2minutes it takes
for them to show you all the animals they like.<br />

Reading
with children is amazing and when you get that quiet moment peeking through their bedroom to see either the older child cuddling their
younger sibling reading to them or the younger sibling reading quietly
to themselves or their teddies, you see how even though you may not have
this perfect reading area or read a huge variety of books they understand
the calm and joy that comes from books and the world they can
unlock.<br />

all lovely mumma’s out there! It’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mummy_lozz/">Mumma Lozz</a> here and I’m excited to be
bringing you another blog. In May
in the <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/01/playfulbaby.html">playful baby series</a> the focus is on <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/search?q=nature">nature</a>. Exploring nature is
fantastic for children’s learning and development. Exploring nature supports
their physical, social, emotional and sensory development, just to list a few.
The benefits are endless. </span><br />

<a name='more'></a>To
be 100% honest with you, I am not an outdoor person. The very thought of bush
walking sends shivers down my spine. A cup of tea and being snuggled under a
blanket watching a movie is much more my speed. Of course there are definitely
things I love about outside (walking along the beach with my feet in the water)
but I am very much a homebody. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 9.0pt;">However
since having Turtle my whole perspective of being in nature has changed. I want
to make sure that turtle has every opportunity to explore outside and I have
most recently discovered and realised that letting children explore nature
doesn’t have to be big as planning a big bush walk or going to the beach, it
can be so simple as letting them walk on the grass without shoes on or letting
them throw autumn leaves up in the air. </span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;">For
our activity in May I wanted to bring the outdoors inside! Turtle has an interest
in posting and sorting toys and I found this activity from <a href="http://www.kidsplaybox.com/spring-activities-for-kids-sticky-garden/">Kids Play Box</a> on Pinterest (you should defintely check it out-their spring time flowers look absolutely stunning!) for a nature sticky
wall. </span></div>

<a name='more'></a>The bracelets didn't go on our <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/05/hiking-with-kids-baby-nature-play.html">Waterfall Walk</a> with us but rather we gave them to the kids whilst we were setting up camp. It was a great little activity to keep them busy and let them explore their new surroundings. We found that because it was a bit damp

<b>Nature Bracelets</b><br />
You will need:<br />
Contact paper or sticky tape<br />
<br />
How to make it:<br />
To
make three nature bracelets, I cut three strips of contact paper 2inches wide and then packed it into our camping gear.<br />
<br />
At camp I pulled the bracelets out and wrapped them around each
child's wrist. I pulled the paper off and folded the contact paper
around in to a circle-sticky side facing out. <br />
<br />
Next step was as simple as inviting the girls to wander around camp and find some fallen, natural treasures to stick to their bracelets!<br />
Easy peasy!<br /><br />If you liked this post you may also like <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/05/fairy-nature-crowns-hiking-with-kids.html">Fairy Nature Crowns</a>. Just click the picture to read all about it!<br />

It's a great time to sit back and just let them explore nature!<br />
<span id="goog_549701858"></span><span id="goog_549701859"></span><br />
At times though they need a little encouragement and inspiration. <a href="http://lovingnaturallyaus.blogspot.com.au/">Ashlee </a>and I both found this when we took our tribes <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/search?q=camping">camping </a>over Easter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiewiYZL2zIDMZuqkDmoGpUk_Go1cPSrjH9cBK2qdSSxMKuWMQOd_FYNIvJbPUhlLTRVKjMl6XCawlTkKq_CSZoN2YYX8xv_QIyyvEha7HNcw6Tgkmv0kWAJ-98DgdKaf5QkvfnDxv_P4yC/s1600/squigglesandbubbles-fairy-houses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="738" data-original-width="1102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiewiYZL2zIDMZuqkDmoGpUk_Go1cPSrjH9cBK2qdSSxMKuWMQOd_FYNIvJbPUhlLTRVKjMl6XCawlTkKq_CSZoN2YYX8xv_QIyyvEha7HNcw6Tgkmv0kWAJ-98DgdKaf5QkvfnDxv_P4yC/s1600/squigglesandbubbles-fairy-houses.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>We did many things while we were camping:<br />
<ul>
<li>We went hiking and saw an amazing waterfall.</li>
<li>We went walking and explored our surroundings.</li>
<li>We had an Easter Egg hunt-ofcourse.</li>
<li>The kids played in their tent with a few special toys from home.</li>
<li>The kids coloured in.</li>
<li>We made music by turning tree trunks into drums.</li>
<li>The kids raced and had jumping competitions.</li>
<li>They played in dirt and the grass.</li>
<li>Unfortunately the only downside to our campsite was there were no trees suitable for climbing so there was no tree climbing on this occasion.</li>
</ul>
One night, before tea, the kids were getting particularly restless so
Ashlee suggested they build some fairy houses! It was a brilliant idea!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Squiggles
and Miss L worked together to run around the campsite looking for
appropriate materials and built some beautiful houses. <br />
<br />
It just
so happened that I had a little jar of fairy dust in the car so as the
girls worked on their second fairy house I sneakily threw a little
glitter over their first house. Their reactions were priceless! So much
excitement over a little bit of glitter!<br />
<br />
And the best bit? The
next morning the breeze had blown the glitter so it looked like the
fairies had been wandering around the campsite!<br />
<br />
Such a simple activity, requiring almost no preparation and filled with wonder and imagination.<br />

I knew that we would be going on a hike with our little families, so thought they would be a fantastic way to make the walk just that little bit extra special. <br />

<a name='more'></a>I decided to make something else as well, just in case we needed a second activity for the way back. Something that would be light and easily packed in a a backpack. I decided on fairy crowns!<br />
<br />
On the day, we didn't actually make nature wands as I left the double sided tape at home. Oops! The crowns turned out to be hit and miss too as Miss L was bitterly disappointed that Bubbles' chose the blue crown and Bubbles wasn't willing to give it up. However by the end of the walk Miss L and Bubbles were besties and Bubbles told me she was making her crown for Miss L.<br />
<br />
Squiggles loved her crown and took great delight in finding treasures to
stick to it as we walked along. We found that because it was a bit damp
only the very dry items stuck but that didn't phase her at all.<br />

<b>Nature Crowns</b><br />
You will need:<br />
Contact paper<br />
A4 Construction paper<br />
Glue<br />
<br />
How to make it:<br />
To make our nature crowns we took a piece of A4 construction paper and cut it in half lenghtways. I then glued it together to make one long, thin piece.<br />
<br />
I cut the contact paper to fit and glued it to the consturction paper shiny side down. (Paper facing up)<br />
<br />
When we got to this stage we packed the "crowns".<br />
<br />
In the carpark I pulled the crowns out and measured them around each child's head. I pulled the paper off and folded the construction paper around in to a circle. Using the contact paper to stick it to itself.<br />
<br />
We then placed the crowns on the girls' heads and invited them to find some fallen, natural treasures to stick to their crowns!<br />
<br />
Easy peasy!<br />

<a name='more'></a>I often feel guilty about dragging JB around everywhere as we run around
after her two older sisters. I feel bad that I don't do as much with
her as I did her sisters. I worry constantly that I'm failing her.
However, just because an activity is for her sisters doesn't mean that
parts of it can't be beneficial and enjoyable for her too. Today I'm not
sharing with you an activity I planned for JB, rather I want to show
you how just being the part of the family can be enough.<br />

In her post <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/05/hiking-with-kids-baby-nature-play.html">Hiking with Kids</a>, Ashlee told you how JB and Little A felt the
textures of the moss growing on the trees and the ferns between
their fingers while we were hiking, all from the safety of their carriers. What Ashlee didn't say was that it was Little A who discovered that if she held her hand out she could touch the mossy rocks and grab at the leaves.<span id="goog_549701760"></span><span id="goog_549701761"></span><br />

At the beginning of our walk JB was content to keep her hands held tightly on her Daddy, safe in her wrap. After watching Little A for a bit though she began to cautiously reach out of the wrap and with a little encouragement from Daddy she soon was reaching for everything and anything she could get her hands on.<br />

I've told you about our awesome Mother's Day Fairy Walk, but what I didn't say in that post was how JB experienced the walk. She was too little to help hide the fairy doors and plates but she wasn't too little to enjoy it.<br />

JB spent most of our walk on her Daddy's back but almost as soon as we started walking I noticed JB mimicking how she and Little A had explored had explored their world on our Easter walk. She was reaching out and touching the leaves, the long grass, even the bark of the trees. Exploring nature as her sisters hid fairy treasures.<br />
<br />

Even from on her Daddy's back JB was exploring the world with her senses. Using her sense of touch to explore the plants, her olfactory system to smell all the wonderful smells, her auditory sense to listen to the birds and nature sounds, aswell as the sound of her sisters' laughter which in turn made her laugh (developing those ever so important social emotionally skills).<br />

<span id="goog_549701799"></span><span id="goog_549701800"></span>She used her sense of sight to watch the leaves blowing in the breeze and the bubbles her sisters were blowing as they floated by her. At one stage she even used her gustation sense as she tasted a leaf she had pulled off a nearby tree!<br />

We didn't keep her in the carrier the whole trip. We made sure to stop and let her out for a little bit but JB's not a huge fan of walking in shoes yet and I wasn't willing to let her walk on the gravelly path, so she was screaming for "up" almost as soon as we put her down.<br />

While she was down though she got to explore all the plants even closer. She had a fantastic time despite the fact that she was essentially "dragged along."<br /><br />

<a name='more'></a>With this in mind, Numnut decided to surprise me with a family walk for
Mother's Day. He made it extra special by cutting me out some gorgeous
little fairy doors which Squiggles and Bubbles then decorated.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We took the fairy doors to one of our favourite walking
tracks and with the help of our little fairies we hid them as we walked
along the track. It was so much fun seeing the girls' excitement. We
make it a point not to teach our children about mythical creatures such
as Santa, the Easter Bunny, Fairies etc so I always love that they can
still have fun pretending.<br />

<br />
The girls ran along the track, flying, and hiding their precious doors. Sprinkling them (or drowning them!) in "fairy dust" before running to find the next perfect hiding spot.<br />

<br />
<br />
We were lucky enough to bump in to some friends who were also out for a Mother's Day walk and Squiggles and Bubbles delighted in helping their friend to find the doors and then inviting him to join with them in their magical fun.<br />

Once the girls ran out of doors I surprised them with some mini bamboo plates which they then filled with "nature fairy food" (Bubbles' words) and hid along the track for the fairies.<br />

Hello everyone! <a href="http://lovingnaturallyaus.blogspot.com.au/">Ashlee from Loving Naturally</a> here, once again, to touch on
the topic of <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/search?q=nature">nature play</a>. Nature and being outdoors is important to our family; making
sure we live in an area that allows us to do this is great.<br />

<a name='more'></a>During
summer we like to stop down the beach and get our toes wet after school. During winter we like to take a scenic way home, stopping to listen to
the waves crashing into the rocks below, unwinding from a crazy stress
filled day. So when we take holidays we love to still be able to be
close to nature and for our children to be able to get dirty, climb trees
and explore to their heart's content.<br />

This year we decided we would join forces with<i><b> </b></i>Squiggles and Bubbles'<i><b> </b></i>very
own Victoria and her lovely family and head off into the wilderness
for the Easter long weekend. Together with our hubbies, five children and two dogs we hiked
up a lovely track that took us right up to a waterfall, we literally
stood over the waterfall, it was amazing being able to look down onto
something so beautiful.<br />

Even though the youngest two had to be carried
they still got to experience all the amazing smells, sounds of the
native birds echoing in the trees and even reaching up and feeling the
textures of the moss growing on the trees and the ferns between
their fingers. It was the best kind of sensory play.<br />
<br />

<br />
Towards the end of our walk, I decided I
would show the older children some false gold that was scattered in the
watery banks of the stream, even scooping up some of the water so the
older kids could enjoy their first taste of waterfall water. They loved it!<br />

<br />
Walking
to the falls and camping in the bush gave all the children the freedom
to explore and detach themselves from an over stimulated world and
reconnect to their inner child; creating <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/05/fairy-houses-camping-wth-kids.html">fairy homes</a> out of bark and
twigs they had found,creating their own games and just digging in the
dirt, while learning amazing life lessons about bush cooking and what
kind of wood works best to have a fire keep you warm.<br />

<br />
We used:<br />
Poster paints<br />
2 pieces of white paper<br />
1 piece of coloured card<br />
Double sided sticky tape<br />
Glue<br />
Scissors<br />
<br />
I’d also recommend having a damp facewasher or baby wipes close by so you don’t
get paint everywhere!</div>

We placed some globs of pink and purple washable
poster paints on a piece of card and let Squishels explore. I made sure to give
Squishels my full attention to prevent the paint from going near her mouth.

Some babies will really enjoy the sensory aspect of
squelching paint through their hands, others will do what they can to eat the
paint, others will find new and magical ways to turn every surface in the house
a new colour and some may be completely uninterested. Let your baby explore the
paint in their own special way.<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; tab-stops: 336.75pt;">
</div>
To create the foreground we cut an egg-shape out of a
piece of card and then wrangled Squishel’s hands to get adorable little
handprints.<br />
<br />
This bit was actually quite hard. Getting the right amount of paint on Squishel’s
hands and getting her to open them was hard! I tried every trick Google could
find me to get my baby’s handprints but finally settled on making a mess myself.
I pushed paint around my own hands to get the right amount onto Squishel’s hands,
then planted handprints all over a piece of paper (which ofcourse she was
trying to eat), and then carefully selected the best crafted handprints to cut
out.<br />
<br />

<b>4. Put it together</b><br />
<br />
Finally we glued the handprints to the egg. Placed double-sided tape all over the back of the egg and stuck it to the background.<br />

That’s it! Now you can stand back

allows Little A to explore her creativity and this mummy to save her
sanity in a rental property.<br />
<br />
For us we use WATER. Plain, simple,
straight from the tap, water. <br />
<br />
Doing this can keep Little A and Miss L
busy for hours, creating and recreating as the water dries.<br />

Sometimes
they will paint onto their blackboard that they have already drawn on,
making watercolours. Watching the chalk wash away and spread over the
board. mixing the colours. As the water dries so too does the chalk,
creating new and interesting images.<br />
<br />
You can use a range of
things to create these works of art and with no mess or damage to things;
there is no worry or stress of cleaning up after your kids.<br />

If they are outside you tip the water out in the garden and leave their
brushes etc to dry. If indoors, wipe with a towel and you are done.<br />

When we feel like getting creative with colour at bath time, we will use Daddy's left over shaving cream, add a couple drops of food colouring and
paint our tiles. (NB please be careful: the food colouring may stain some
tiles or grout.) Doing this is a super easy cleanup and lots of fun for all, with the odd cream beard here and there. If you
don't have shaving cream around, you can always make a delightful <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/vanilla-foam-cloud-and-salt-sky-sensory.html">bubble foam</a> from dish soap, essential oils and water (and food colouring) mixed
in a blender to get a very similar effect.<br />

<a name='more'></a>I’m writing
this as my baby screams her head off, merely because it’s night-time and that’s
what she does. Luckily, my husband takes night-shift, so that I can get some
sleep as the benzo kidnaps me from the world of awake to take me to the world
of nightmares.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Squishels
inherited Daddy’s reflux, and so won’t sleep. But also, coincidentally, won’t
take her medicine (not that I blame her; I’ve been told to give her 15mL of
chalky water!). She’s spending more time awake during the day though, and
giggling and talking heaps.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Being in
the mother and family unit was a great introduction to motherhood, and gave me
heaps of confidence in trying to parent this crazy baby.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I’m able to
see her coming into me for support and going out to explore, and I’m able to
delight in her being happy.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">There are
times that things are really difficult with my anxious, depressive or manic
symptoms, and especially with the chronic fatigue, but the mother and family
unit and my ongoing therapist have helped me to see that self-care and time out
are vital for my health.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">So a big

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">We have

<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>So far in this series, <a href="https://beautiful-chaos.blog/2017/04/17/paint-play-with-a-4-month-old-baby/">Nikki</a>, <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/05/mess-free-painting-baby-play.html">Ashlee </a>and <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/04/no-mess-baby-painting-painting-with.html">Mummy Lozz </a>have all shared different variations on mess free, baby painting ideas. You've mainly loved them, though a few people have been asking where the mess is? The joy of painting is mess after all-is it not? Well, here's my messy, paint play that cleans at the same time! All the sensory joy of painting but with the added bonus of a clean kitchen at the end!<br />
<br />
In my <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/cleaning-with-kids-blog-hop.html">Cleaning with Kids blog hop</a> I shared with you a <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/cleaning-with-kids-blog-hop.html">special paint recipe that also helps clean</a>. Today I'm sharing with you yet another paint recipe that helps clean too!<br />
<br />
If you follow my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/squigglesandbubbles/">Instagram </a>account, you'll know that lately Squiggles has been loving playing with <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/vanilla-foam-cloud-and-salt-sky-sensory.html">foam</a>. When she asked for Rainbow Foam, I decided to make JB some rainbow paint at the same time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjebvaAtAfjbWnC2asTkqdBIEcKbEcV3NBJdp7GWhYcttKCuiLtSXeLIvybw0r13RT0jn_V67BmUPGnqdJvDg1cmUvKAvQs6rnfLWVOIjXwqpFhPLs9ykQN2gxeWH8kyxQEuI6fm7Kyq_TE/s1600/baby-paint-yoghurt-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjebvaAtAfjbWnC2asTkqdBIEcKbEcV3NBJdp7GWhYcttKCuiLtSXeLIvybw0r13RT0jn_V67BmUPGnqdJvDg1cmUvKAvQs6rnfLWVOIjXwqpFhPLs9ykQN2gxeWH8kyxQEuI6fm7Kyq_TE/s1600/baby-paint-yoghurt-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
As babies Bubbles and Squiggles had many opportunities to paint, more
often than not with pureed food or yoghurt. But also with ochre and
watercolours. JB has had less opportunities due to the busyness of our
lives these days, in fact, this was probably only her third time
exploring paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrLr1Aj_b7QvD0rY6rMJDVdEZn9FWEGI4Eh6S6qPw1RdicHik8j8Tok_xNZalxtyApJSeiE4qAYvLdkPPhoWzqvFJh81aPyRRP-uumuDnrUCB_Iuo7zuk5GtUCNQVMXEWlp7XpF5Uu3lf/s1600/baby-apint-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrLr1Aj_b7QvD0rY6rMJDVdEZn9FWEGI4Eh6S6qPw1RdicHik8j8Tok_xNZalxtyApJSeiE4qAYvLdkPPhoWzqvFJh81aPyRRP-uumuDnrUCB_Iuo7zuk5GtUCNQVMXEWlp7XpF5Uu3lf/s1600/baby-apint-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Making the paint was as simple as pinching a little bit of each colour of Squiggles' Rainbow Foam. I placed them in a heavy dish (less chance of it being tipped over immediately) on the floor, placed a large paintbrush next to them and let JB explore at will!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1E_aifRYkA9V6H_YAQ7OgnWta_Y7i6SUU6OTJgyHdS04-iMT-onIxhQgfqnu7p_qyeKPNfbaGhmSN3h-F5TgqgcqgQhVBjioY9fHiBMQ2rE_IrRbcADx6ChPwFq39b12Lkto-Be0U7Jq/s1600/baby-paint-clean-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1E_aifRYkA9V6H_YAQ7OgnWta_Y7i6SUU6OTJgyHdS04-iMT-onIxhQgfqnu7p_qyeKPNfbaGhmSN3h-F5TgqgcqgQhVBjioY9fHiBMQ2rE_IrRbcADx6ChPwFq39b12Lkto-Be0U7Jq/s1600/baby-paint-clean-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" /></a></div>
<span id="goog_1713949953"></span><span id="goog_1713949954"></span><br />
<br />
After she'd explored the paint with her hands, I demonstrated how to use the paintbrush on the cupboards and then invited her to do the same. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJPPmNHoA-kLqrO7Qg8vbD038sR_5FGVg4rkGvgMsv-HzHFYeVH0S0iQiThKA27ff_EhCbbRcemVmgYrZakLBmmuZJlQqC2qiUsXFw6kNpDBVsA-RKPT7DcFHlCxu9N2Hqf_gvCStjBtWq/s1600/baby-paint-yuck-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJPPmNHoA-kLqrO7Qg8vbD038sR_5FGVg4rkGvgMsv-HzHFYeVH0S0iQiThKA27ff_EhCbbRcemVmgYrZakLBmmuZJlQqC2qiUsXFw6kNpDBVsA-RKPT7DcFHlCxu9N2Hqf_gvCStjBtWq/s1600/baby-paint-yuck-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
JB did try tasting the paint once-I wasn't quick enough to stop her (this NOT a taste-safe paint)! Thankfully once was all she needed to realise it was not for eating!<br />
<br />
She had an absolute ball! <br />
<br />
So much so, that Squiggles and Bubbles stopped playing with the rainbow foam outside and joined in painting the kitchen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEireXb-RqzS_z_gc9HO3njDnR923QkQMdNo9TsGi8TsLas2X6Unlq77FSMqsVy7hBtmdD1CtcBy8ULTdb9Fg8VFIMbphOOgq7FNQQCS5vZ0IILHwY7luLLWLgujSSIoTF3dkILnuzKD_OGu/s1600/baby-paint-feet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEireXb-RqzS_z_gc9HO3njDnR923QkQMdNo9TsGi8TsLas2X6Unlq77FSMqsVy7hBtmdD1CtcBy8ULTdb9Fg8VFIMbphOOgq7FNQQCS5vZ0IILHwY7luLLWLgujSSIoTF3dkILnuzKD_OGu/s1600/baby-paint-feet.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They spent a good 40minutes just painting the kitchen with squeals of delight and happiness. They painted the floor too and enjoyed squishing the paint between their toes but this did make the floor extremely slippery and we had a few slips so isn't something I'd recommend!<br />
<br />
Once they were all painted out, I carefully carried them all to the bathroom where they washed all the food dye and soap off easily in the shower with a bit of coconut oil. The green was a bit more stubborn to get off and we did have to resort to Solvol to remove it from their skin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I had got the girls to strip down to underwear to paint in as I was pretty certain their clothes would stain but amazingly it all came out in the wash!<br />
<br />
When everyone was clean I then wiped the cupboards and floors down with a clean cloth and was left with a sparkling clean kitchen! Now all I have to do is somehow get on top of the dishes and clear the bench that just magically becomes cluttered as soon as it's cleared!<br />
<br />
<b>Just a note: </b>if you're going to try this at home test a small patch before letting your child loose in your kitchen just in case your foam stains rather than cleans! I use only the smallest amount of food dye as otherwise it does stain!<br />
<br />
Don't forget that this month we are giving away a <a href="http://squishelsand.me/our-baby-play-arsenal/">Grimm's Wooden Heart Rattle</a>!

Hahaha just joking. Children LOVE paint but I know for me the thought of
cleaning up the mess just sends shivers down my spine! Mess, lots of mess! Even
though I have worked in childcare for 9 years, paint still drives me mad
sometimes! However, no one can deny the benefits of paint to children’s
development. Exploring paint can not only support children’s imagination and
creativity but it is also great for developing fine motor skills and sensory
motor skills. Through painting activities children explore, use their senses of
touch, but it also encourages them to be confident and independent learners as
they are able to explore the paint on their own. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">When
Turtle has explored paint in the past she hasn’t overly enjoyed it. She will
touch the paint a couple of times but then looked up with a unimpressed face.
The cats or DVD player were much more interesting! So this month I wanted to
approach it from another angle, I researched a little on P interest (if you
haven’t entered the world of p interest I would recommend it for great children
activity ideas) and found this painting activity using snap lock bags:</span></div>

use home made paint as I’m always worried about Turtle consuming it, but I
though because the paint would be concealed within the bag that non-toxic paint
would be fine. There is however lots of cool paint recipes online, if you would
like to make your own :) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">First,
I cut the paper down to size, slid a piece of paper into each bag, squirted
some paint into the bags, then sealed them up and stuck them to the high chair.
It really only took a couple of minutes and it’s so simple. Not only that but
it gave me time to do the dishes! Brilliant!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">To
be honest, my child was not a fan! She was more interested in breaking loose
and staring up at me unimpressed by the situation. Turtle is in the stage where
she definitely isn’t a fan of being constricted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She loves being active and exploring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She did have a little play by poking and hitting
it, but she was not as engaged as I would of liked - but hey, that’s ok it
happens! Next time I think I might either attach some bags to the window, or
perhaps on the kitchen floor so she can explore it in her own time, without
being so constricted. Go with the flow I say :) There are always going to be
things that children don’t like, but I’m sure there are so many more
experiences to come :) </span></div>

<a name='more'></a>In my post <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/2017/01/5-sensory-explorations-for-baby.html">5 Sensory Explorations for Baby</a>, I explain the importance of sensory play: Sensory play is a vital part of your baby's life-their little brain needs to be constantly stimulated by sensory experiences to develop. That doesn't mean that if you're not constantly creating and providing your baby with, super amazing, Pinterest worthy activities, that your baby's brain won't develop. Whilst those activities can be awesome fun and there are those of us (guilty!) who thrive on providing activities like that for our little ones; for babies all play experiences are sensory. Your baby is naturally curious and from the time they were born they've been using their senses to explore the world around them. You can enhance their sensory exploration and in turn help their brain development by doing very simple things. <br />
<br />
Today, I want to share with you what a fantastic sensory experience a simple, family trip to the beach can be for a baby. I mean, just stop and think about it. What smells do you associate with the beach? What do you see? Touch? Hear? Taste? Isn't it just one big sensory experience?!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We visited the beach as a family on the last day of summer. We only stayed for an hour but in that time JB had a ball exploring all the different sensory play the beach had to offer and I didn't have to prepare anything!<br />
<br />
She felt the sand on her feet, hands...and pretty much her whole body!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWCVWC7poBl9LfwdxIXJahFoSr6IYv8KqEpvulKZ88_lFjJIeIW2AcAnE8eBXGdnuUw9KVEsdp9DP6x-IJwq26MAk65MFmjGAdCna6QhtS8FBQMSyMJF7rW76Pk1kI9N04kdG_tTA15Ayb/s1600/sandyfeet-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWCVWC7poBl9LfwdxIXJahFoSr6IYv8KqEpvulKZ88_lFjJIeIW2AcAnE8eBXGdnuUw9KVEsdp9DP6x-IJwq26MAk65MFmjGAdCna6QhtS8FBQMSyMJF7rW76Pk1kI9N04kdG_tTA15Ayb/s1600/sandyfeet-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" /></a></div>
She discovered the sensation of having your feet sink in wet sand.<br />
<br />
She tasted the sand...and again...and again :/<br />
<br />
She smelt the salty sea air<br />
<br />
She felt the sea breeze on her face and the wind in her hair<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhsejZTshWMfPg_VtnA0YOjzrFIYrSVPVnDxfwsE8fI4tqhMTG54yp7DdV3IKqjIHbmgZhf9_JkeM0_3MlPxZIUxhUmD2GqZzgaqqEsF20LuRP8aNFxBBbIbLh1vkmE3h-SgOdYwv1PJW/s1600/sensoryplay-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhsejZTshWMfPg_VtnA0YOjzrFIYrSVPVnDxfwsE8fI4tqhMTG54yp7DdV3IKqjIHbmgZhf9_JkeM0_3MlPxZIUxhUmD2GqZzgaqqEsF20LuRP8aNFxBBbIbLh1vkmE3h-SgOdYwv1PJW/s1600/sensoryplay-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" /></a></div>
She watched and heard the waves crashing on the beach<br />
<br />
She saw and heard the seagulls, people, boats and ski biscuits<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKeGmfP1yZzN956DhUPOgTIETC1ylxayX6uaplmtucR4_7VT3JLXX4fK_8HGRye7BBveggpXh1I5gkraV-mURkWWKFYq7DWLdadxILvS0v4V7klYK_sINOeZpDyIirEg8QghzzXdw69aB/s1600/a-water-and-nature-sensory-play-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKeGmfP1yZzN956DhUPOgTIETC1ylxayX6uaplmtucR4_7VT3JLXX4fK_8HGRye7BBveggpXh1I5gkraV-mURkWWKFYq7DWLdadxILvS0v4V7klYK_sINOeZpDyIirEg8QghzzXdw69aB/s1600/a-water-and-nature-sensory-play-squigglesandbubbles.jpg" /></a></div>
She explored the different textures of seaweed, sand, shells and rocks<br />
<br />
And ofcourse she splashed in the water (the beach we went to had a shallow, little creek/puddle area away from the ocean with warmer water that Numnut and I enjoyed warming our feet in whilst the girls splashed within arm's reach)<br />
<br />

Little Squishels was gifted a beautiful wooden play arch
made by her aunt and uncle this Easter. It was made of a deep Tassie Oak,
adorned with three wooden rings hanging two wooden bunnies and an Easter egg
with gold stripes. </div>

Squishels took to her new play-gym with such delight. She
loved grabbing at the egg, listening to us tell her that bunnies go ‘hop, hop’,
watching how the sun played against the metallic stripes on the eggs. <br />
<br />
It
engaged her sense of smell with such a rich aroma of wood oiled with olive oil-
a lovely, comforting smell of home. </div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It engaged her sense of touch as she batted
at the egg and the bunnies, feeling the feel of the rope that held the legs of
the arch apart, feeling the wood of the legs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It engaged her sense of sight as
she saw the deep brown of the bunny contrasted with the white and gold of the
egg and the green or white and black of the ribbons. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It engaged her sense of
taste as she got the occasional lick of the bunnies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It engaged her sense of

A wooden play-gym is such a lovely open-ended toy. As
Squishels is young, it helps to engage her senses, and encourage tummy time. As
she grows older, her cousins have shown it can be used as a tunnel, as a cave,
as a playspace and as a quiet space. It folds away when not in use, and can
have many different toys hanging off to engage different senses and different
stories. </div>

This Easter, it has helped to tell many stories of bunnies, and
Easter, and chickens, as well as stories of how her uncle and aunt crafted a
beautiful play piece with such love, and giggles of delight as her senses were
engaged. </div>

<a name='more'></a>After I
gave birth, I completely disassociated. The only thing I could feel was some
distant sense of grief. I couldn’t understand how the baby was supposedly mine,
how I was meant to go home with this crying screaming thing that sucked my
life-force out of me (how I continue to talk about breastfeeding), and I
couldn’t understand the negative images that kept floating through my head.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Those four
days in the hospital were bad, but not as bad as what was to come. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I had daily
psych reviews during them, and it was decided by the third day that I was to
move to the mother and family unit after discharge from the hospital. So four
days passed, and four nights, and finally I got to feel the rain and wind in
the short travel to the offsite unit that would become our home for three
weeks, minus weekends.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">The mother
and family unit was really nice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">We’d stay
there Monday-Friday in a lovely spacious double-bed room. The living area was
really nice, with access to Netflix and lots of toys and books. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">There were
groups twice a day, depending on how our babies were going. The first week
there were two other mums with their babies; the other 2 weeks we were there
alone. The staff were really nice, always trying to help with everything.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">My
disassociation soon gave way to a deep depression. All I wanted was to lie in
bed with my husband forever, and not have this nightmare baby demanding my
attention all the time. By the second review with the psychiatrist (he came to
the unit every Tuesday), I was almost begging him for antidepressants (he was
hesitant because of the ‘baby blues’ and other temporary hormone changes). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I started
on sertraline that week, and slowly my mood improved. I was able to go home the
following Friday, and actually feel semi-confident going home. I had learnt how
to feed my baby whilst in public, and I had started to bond with my baby and
feel like she was mine. In most essences of the word, I was ‘ok’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I wouldn’t
pass up my time at the mother and family unit for anything. It was the best
transition into motherhood I could have hoped for. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Being able
to escape a screaming monster to watch Netflix for half an hour, and so many
other things helped give me the space I needed.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">It taught
me how to keep on parenting when my mood wouldn’t let me, and how to bond with

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Sure, it
was annoying that they wouldn’t (weren’t allowed to) accept that my baby needed
constant connection and needed to bedshare (seems she managed to get my
nightmare problems). And sometimes the staff were over-the-top and just plain
irritating. But it was the best decision I could’ve made, for myself and my
family.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Thankfully,
I had already discussed moving to the mother and family unit prior to the
birth, so I was able to get a little bit of an understanding (although the
extent of my understanding was 'my baby won't be taken away from me if I have a
psychotic break'). I read on "<a href="http://www.app-network.org/">Action on Postpartum Psychosis</a>" </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">some positive
recommendations about going in, but I really had no clue. I didn't know my
partner could stay, and I didn't know what a 'Monday to Friday ward' meant. The
youth mental health team through my public hospital came and visited me every
day whilst I was in the hospital, and they were able to answer some of the
questions I had. Mostly, it was just an experience I had to fall headfirst into
to find out how therapeutic and vital it would be to helping my health and my
bond with my baby. </span></div>

</xml><![endif]-->Hello Beautiful Mummas. Another
month, another blog, and this month we are delving into sensory play. Little Turtle
has now turned 11 months and she is in to EVERYTHING! As exciting as it is to
see Turtle learning so much new cool stuff, let’s face it, she has become a
cute little tornado and I’m sure lots of other mummas can concur.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>Leading into this month, I was so
excited to explore sensory play. For those who have not heard about sensory
play, it is play that encourages children to use their senses of touch, sight,
sound, smell, taste, balance and movement. Sensory play supports brain
development. I like to call sensory play “messy play”, because at work it’s the
play that the children LOVE, but adults don’t like cleaning it up! Sensory play
is something that I’m sure most people do, without even realising! Sensory play
is something that you can have loads of fun with, but is so simple, whether
it’s sand play, a bath filled with water and plastic balls, gooey goop play, or
simply exploring grass in a park.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Leading up to March, I knew
precisely what I wanted to do. Turtle absolutely loves the water, so I knew I
wanted to make it a water activity. I thought coloured ice cubes would be
really cool to add to her bath one night. I recently bought a silicon ice cube
tray for a couple of dollars from Kmart. I added water, then food colouring to
each cube. If you do decide to try this, only use one drop of food dye, as it
can stain the skin if you use to much. I was also wanting to add a different
texture so I added a peg to each one and then stuck it in the freezer. So
organised!……..Well sort of………</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Put it this way, this month has
been a little crazy. Between working, cleaning and looking after Turtle, I got
so caught up in routine that I kept forgetting to do the activity. This
particular day was a grump day. Turtle was in a “lovely” foul mood and just was
not settling (more teeth coming through). It was such a warm day and I really
wanted to set up her cute new mushroom paddling pool, so she had a chance to
cool down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a great opportunity to
try out the coloured ice cubes! I was very excited! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aoAf_vwxA1MDEXE0Vx5zHMHaGcYTN4JveSaAitzYgePw-09_7ZKL3BQWzAUXAxdMtDG0Tx6lHueWjdETU7ygA-ds4w6X3hYkp1rUKVxRP1cjvJN296tWj0cunZ3Y5WKilcJ56AjlTiel/s1600/mummalozz-icecubes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aoAf_vwxA1MDEXE0Vx5zHMHaGcYTN4JveSaAitzYgePw-09_7ZKL3BQWzAUXAxdMtDG0Tx6lHueWjdETU7ygA-ds4w6X3hYkp1rUKVxRP1cjvJN296tWj0cunZ3Y5WKilcJ56AjlTiel/s1600/mummalozz-icecubes.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ice cube play can also be done in
the bath, high-chair tray, a big bowl or just a baking tray. This activity was
seriously so easy. I popped the child in the pool then put the ice cubes in
front of her! She, at first, had the very amusing face of “What is this Mum?”,
then picked them up with the peg part and happily licked it, like a icypole.
The cutest! At first, I only had the icecubes in the pool, but then I decided to
add water to the pool, to add more excitement for her and to add a different
texture for her to feel with her hands. This she loved, as she could then
splash the water and very intriguingly watched the ice cubes melt. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Definitely a quick easy activity for
all busy mummas out there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In our world
today, there is so much technology that constantly grabs our attention. I
believe it’s so important to engage with our children. We get so caught up with
life, that we forget to LIVE our lives.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing wrong with chilling out
on the couch with a movie though! or watching the Lion King’s Hakuna Matata (Turtle’s
favourite song at the moment) on Youtube :)<br />

the topic of <a href="http://squigglesandbubbles.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Sensory">sensory play</a>. As expensive as it sounds it's so simple,
easy and your most likely doing it right now and can add a few more
things to your babies play, from what you have around the house.<br />

<a name='more'></a>For us, sensory
play is a massive part of little A's and Miss L's learning and playing. Here in Australia, we are just enjoying the last couple of warm weeks
after summer, so we are outside a lot! Being the kind of person that
burns extremely easily we can't go galavanting about all day so to be able
to enjoy the amazing outdoors we opt for a sun protected deck.<br />

Our
newest addition to this area is our play kitchen. Here the girls are
able to play in the water, making mud creations and
getting completely covered head to toe. As water is present I'm always
watching but the girls have free play to explore their environment. If
they want to put dirt or sand into their sink they can, if they want to
paint their blackboard with a paint brush and water they can (an
amazing idea from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BP5-Pk1gxyo/?taken-by=squigglesandbubbles">Squiggles and Bubbles</a>). It keeps BOTH girls happy
for ages!<br />

Another
of our favourite things to play with is things from down the beach. Living within walking distance from the beach gives us the amazing
access to an array of textures, smells and things to see. Taking the
girls down for an afternoon once it cools is an amazing way to get them
interacting with the world around them ( as well as locking in an
earlier bed time for tuckered out little people).<br />

Heading
to the rock pools the girls are able to safely explore and discover. Feeling the sand between their toes, the textures of the rocks, shells
and seaweed. As well as with spotting the odd crab here and there.</div>

<b>Want
to create your own little rock pool right in your home? </b><br />
First decide
what size container you'd like. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
Add some rocks around the edges to
create your rock pool. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; margin: 0px;">
Then add some eye-catching textures: fake
seaweed, shells from the shops(if you have a baby that likes to put
everything in their mouth be mindful of the size of objects you're
adding). <br />
If you have some toy sea animals they are always an added
bonus. <br />
TA DAH! You have created and rock pool sensory wonderland for
you little one to explore for hours!</div>
