Mr L is doing really well at "school". He's got a Logical-Mathamatical kinda mind (We're loving our
Life of Fred books, thanks for the inspiration
Hungry Heads! ;) but he's also really imaginative which I love. His reading is improving every day and his retention seems good too.
Our days run quite smoothly *most of the time* Lol. But when I stumbled across this
blog challenge I thought it sounded like the type of fun-injection we would enjoy!
Don't get me wrong - there's a lot of PLAY in this house. In fact, I type this one-fingered into my iphone at the kitchen table sipping my tea and listening to the mad ramblings of Mr.L ensconced in a world of suitcases, locks, keys and burgulars in his room. This is a tea-break from our morning of Chess and book reading on the trampoline.
But, sometimes I find they're/we're stuck in
familiar play patterns.
The Play challenge gives you 30 days of Play
prompts and is aimed at the younger child. Which is where I think the fun will lie for us - revisiting some of the old-skool gems that we have "grown out of". Yesterday (our first day, but day 8 of the challenge) was
Water Play and I made up bottles of coloured water for bath-time play.
Today it's Sensory Tubs! I'm actually not even sure we did Sensory Tubs at all when they were little even though they were all over the web. But I took the lead and have thrown this collection together.
Are you tempted to
PLAY too...?
