Living Sensory Box

This was our sensory box for the last few weeks and it was alive! Baby Daddy brought home a 'sheet' of this special type of plant used to cover green roofs. It was impossible not to want to play with this as it looked as though it had mini trees everywhere. We added a fence and some plastic farm animals that normally go with our Melissa and Doug Farm House and there you go a fun sensory box. 

At preschool we have grown our own grass int he sensory box to create such an affect and that in itself is a lot of fun. Spraying the grass with a water bottle to water it and then using scissors to cut the grass (sneaky skill building and fun to use scissors for something else then paper!) 

It's been awhile so here is an update

Wow last post was in July! The summer got away with us and we were busy then big news we got pregnant so I was very tired and blogging was the last of the list but I have missed it so here is my attempt at getting back. 

So with some time away and having missed blogging my priority will be to try and share the set ups/ provocation / activities I put out for Big T. I have made a real effort in sharing what we do on instagram so highly recommend following us over there under ' odekat '. I am going to do my best at a weekly post were I put those activities in more detail on here.... anyone who can recommend an easy photo dump from Instragram to Blogger I will love you forever!   

I would really like to share more about my parenting reflections, confections and passions here. They often link so deeply to what I try to explore with Big T that it seems strange not to try and share them. I personally also love following others and their parenting journeys on blogs... this is not to say I feel what I do is best for everyone far, far from it what I share here is what works for me and my family. Take from it what you will or skip it all together that is up to you. 

So here it goes my attempt to revisit the blogging world... hope your still here to join me!
