🚜 Rice Krispie Trucks 🚜 . . In a moment of desperation when it was chucking down rain this week, I tipped half a box of Rice Krispies into two baking trays and gave him a dump truck and a tractor. . . He didn’t need instructions for this one, straight away he was scooping the rice into the truck and tipping into the other tray. . . There was definitely a fair bit of tasting along the way, but I’m happy for him to munch on Rice Krispies (so much better than sand or rainbow rice!!) . . . I’ll do this in our #tufftray next time, it would be much better for containing the chaos than the #messymat . . . . #dumptruck #dumptrucks #ricekrispies #sensoryplay #tufftrayideas #tufftrayplay #toddleractivities #toddlerlife #toddlerplay #toddler #toddlermomlife #toddlermom #toddlerfun #sensoryplayideas #earlyyears #earlyyearsideas #playwithfood #fun #play #playtime #playtimefun #playtimeallthetime #discoverunder1k #discoverunder2k #toddlermum #toddlermama #toddlers

🤹‍♀️ D I Y b a l l p i t 🤹‍♂️ . . Ball pit balls are such a cheap and brilliant toy! 🤹‍♀️ We use them in the bath, the shower, the paddling pool, in a box like this for a ball pit, for posting into boxes, for rolling up ramps, sorting into colours, throwing into buckets etc. . . . As the weather has changed this week we’ve been indoors a bit more and looking for fun ways to stay busy. A delivery of new speakers meant a HUGE cardboard box, perfect for a ball pit!! . . . I keep the plastic balls hidden in a cupboard (because I HATE tidying them up) so he hadn’t seen them in a few weeks and was thrilled to see them reappear! He had great fun rolling around, hiding things in the ballpit and tossing the balls all over the room 🤦‍♀️ . . . When his interest waned, we put the slide from the Pikler into the ballpit and got a few more mins of him sliding into the balls and rolling the balls up and down the ramp. . . Now I’ve tidied up and put away the balls ready for another day and the box is free to become a fort or a boat or a train or a place to hide or wherever else his mind takes us 👦 💭 . . . #rainyday #rainydays #rainydayfun #rainydayactivities #rainydayactivity #fun #play #playtime #ballpit #ballpitfun #ballpitballs #toddlerlife #activitiesforkids #activitiesfortoddlers #toddlerfun #toddlerfuntime #playathometoday #cardboard #cardboardbox #cardboardboxes #discover #discoverunder1k

✨ l e s s i s m o r e ✨ . . . Lately I’ve been experimenting with giving Osk fewer toys. I thought he might get frustrated or bored but it’s been the opposite. He seems to play solo longer and in more interesting ways when he has less options available to him. . . So far this morning, he has played with the car transporter and cars that go with it, driving them around and over things. The truck itself has been a scooter, a climbing frame and is now getting a wash with a cloth and a spray bottle full of water. . . . It’s only 7.15am so who knows what else it will be...? 💭 . . Happy Saturday! . . . #lessismore #fewerbetterthings #fewerbetter #fewerbettertoys #lesstoysmoreplay #play #toy #toys #toystagram #fun #playtime #saturday #saturdaymorning

🚲 Everyone, meet Mabel! 🚲 . . . Mabel is a C7 by @publicbikes and my main mode of transport when we lived in San Francisco 🥰 Poor Mabel has been living in the back of the garage with the spiders since we moved home to Dublin. Today she got a much needed bath and some air in her tyres. I just need to find a seat for Osk and we are ready to roll!! 🤗 . . . #bikelife #bike #bikes #bicycle #bicycles #bicyclelife #bicycling #publicbikes #ilovemybike #bikeswithbaskets #prettybike #discoverunder1k #mumblog #momlife
