"Sticky Wall" Fun

"Sticky Wall" Fun 


LW loved experimenting with what would stick. 

Great for a rainy or too cold to go outside kinda day! 
Before I peeled the contact paper, I drew on some larger shapes. I then peeled it from the paper and taped it up to the wall, sticky side out. I collected little, light items for LW to stick on. 

Needed items: 
-clear contact paper 
-sharpie (to draw shapes, or a scene) 
-tape (I like to use washi tape because it's easy on the walls and strong adhesive) 
-little, light items to stick up: buttons, pompoms, popsicle sticks, cut up plastic straws, construction paper, jar fillers, etc. 



LW LOVED to sort the items, make faces, match shapes, and even would run around the room to find other things that would stick. He liked to experiment with his stuffed animals and learned what would stick and didn't stick. We still have the "sticky wall" set up and its been about a month and it's still sticky! 

"Sticky Wall" after a month! Still pretty sticky! 

Next time, may venture with more learning and do some sorting activities by letters or numbers. Love it, because you can switch it up so easily!

Sensory Box Fun

Sensory box filled with dry pinto beans Sensory box filled with dry long grained white rice                  As an educator, I know the importance of learning through touch and working on fine motor coordination. I also have learned that in early education, this is often done through a sensory box or station. I remember in preschool LOVING the water table, or coming in to see what fun things I could find under piles of sand, beans, rice, noodles and etc. As a mama and neat-freak, the words "Sensory Box" makes me nervous with the possible mess that could happen within the first 3 seconds of Levi exploring. Then I asked myself a question that I often ask myself in all areas of life, "What is the worst thing that could happen?" My two worse case scenarios were: 1)  Levi would dump the box all over the floor and I would have to clean it up. 2) Levi would eat whatever I used as my sensory station "filler"...

Distractions- Be Still

I'm currently sitting at my dining room table with the following things spread on it: -Kirkland diapers -baby monitor -Levi's sensory station box filled with pinto beans and trucks -a large stack of my husband's files from work -my planner -phone -computer -Nehemiah study "A heart that can break" by Kelly Minter (which I might add I started on 3-21-16 and I'm STILL not finished) -- Talk about distractions!-- -a sippy cup filled with water -my Bible -and a Voice telling me... "Just sit with Me for a while...take time....stop."  Distractions.... Why is it so difficult, and at times, scary to sit in silence and just be still? This is a very hard task for someone like myself who is a to-do lister, clean kitchen obsessor, ADHD, preggo mama with baby #2 and a toddler to chase. However, the art of BEING STILL is also very hard for an always healing heart and soul that was deep in the trenches of darkness and got so accustomed to u...

Deliverance- God ALWAYS shows up

"Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."  --Nehemiah 9:5-6 Seasons of Darkness.  I've been there. Felt the great cold of joylessness. Days when I spend the whole day and night in bed---but yet was restless and tired. The ugly heat of a burning rage and anger both at the sin we have in this world and anger at myself for not healing quick enough--but yet feeling so numb and just pure nothingness. That was the scariest for me--I became an expert of numbing anything that came my way--no matter how significant or insignificant. I was certain--I was forever lost.  It pained me to go to church due to being overly angry and jealous when others lifted their hands in awe and wonder of His great nam...
