I was originally inspired to start this blog because I was tired of doing the same activities with my children every day. I am a full-time mom of two children, ages 3 and 5. Our typical day includes reading books, watching tv, playing with toys and coloring pictures. It’s not that I am unwilling to do other things, it’s just that I lack creativity to come up with fun, enriching activities that my children and I would enjoy. I also have a strong desire to be a better mother, to foster my children’s imaginations, and to introduce them to new things. I hope this blog can be a source of excitement, of learning, and of inspiring ideas for all of us!

So we've said our good-bye's to Fiji, but moving around the world is going to be a standard procedure for this family in the years to come. Because I can't always rely on outside sources, I feel a duty to be the the primary provider of wholesome and educational entertainment for my kids---all accomplished in a loving atmosphere. (and yes, piles of dirty dishes and dust bunnies can and do exist within my loving atmosphere!) I'm no expert in early childhood education, but I've done some parenting homework and put my creative juices to the test many times. I'm excited to share my successes and failures with all of you. Plus, I need to learn your mothering secrets!

Some ideas I have are:
Touch: (Feely Bag):Basically children put their hand in the bag and try to guess what it is from feeling.
Touch and Vision: (Shaving Creme writing): Shaving creme writing: I put a mound of shaving cream on each tray and let the children smooth the shaving cream all over the cookie sheet. They love the feeling of the shaving cream (be sure to tell the children not to touch their face or put mouth with their hands once they have shaving cream on them) and I let them free play with it for a while.
Touch: Make a touch board: Basically you glue 5 different grades of sandpaper onto a piece of paper. It could also be sandpaper letters.
I love your site. www.superfunmama.blogspot.com
Seriously awesome ideas. Thank you!
We always like that cinnamon play-do. It is good for smell and touch. It is one part applesauce and one part cinnamon. Mix it together and you have a fun dough. This is the stuff you can dry and make those christmas ornaments.
I'm still here--just slow on the upload part of my life! By the way, I could seriously do ten posts on tasting chocolate--I'm controlling myself.
I just found your blog the other day and had fun joining in with my kids. They had a blast with the unit we came up with-- working the 5 senses into an ocean theme. Great site!
I invited some preschool-age kids from our neighborhood over a couple of days ago and did the taste/smell things you suggested on the first post. They didn't like the lemon, but they loved the crunchy Wheat Thins and, of course, the sugar!
For Family Home Evening last night I found a cute little activity poem that the Z-girl just ate up. Now she asks to play the "little finger game" over and over. Here is the link: My Wonderful Senses
