"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!

Comfort Seeker or Cross Bearer?

Are you a comfort seeker or a Cross bearer? "And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple."  --Luke 14:27 NLT March 17th, 2014 "Do I write about my past? Do I want to open that door? Use me Jesus, and help me to know how to listen to you. I know I hear your voice. But do I take the time to really listen? To act on what you are saying? Lord, teach me to follow you, every second of the day…" I just came across this  journal entry and reflections from the book "Not a Fan" by Kyle Idleman. It was a rude awakening as I re-read my raw thoughts from March, 2014.  Idleman asks some questions that made me feel a little uncomfortable more than 2 years ago and continue to make me feel uneasy today. I feel this way because I'm convicted.  Questions like…. "Am I really carrying a cross if there is no suffering and sacrifice?"                             or...

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"...
