This home made game is all about choosing the right outfit for teddy for the right weather!
A simple weather dice has been constructed with different weathers on each side. The box contains a teddy and babies clothes that fit teddy.
The box also contains pictures of the different seasons so that there is more to talk about with the children.
This game is a very popular one with the children. (Social skills, turn taking, language development, learning to use a dice).
Lots of extras can be added to make it personal for your child.

This shoe bag is simple to put together. (Size, colour, matching, role play...the list goes on).
The children love playing with the shoes in here. The extra bonus is that the selection is so vast that the shoes offer a sensory experience too from wooden clogs, to wellington boots to fluffy slippers.
A simple laminated book has been added too containing pictures of a baby shoe, a mummy shoe, a daddy shoe and a giant's shoe.
Everyone has shoes, so simple to do and so much learning from a bag of shoes.

I made this sock cushion using the really soft fluffy socks that you can get so that the experience would be sensory. The idea for the cushion is to hide items in the cushion for young children / babies to find.
You can add socks of various sizes to make it more intereseting and to incorporate size.
The socks are sewn securely onto a home made cushion cover which can be taken off and washed when needed.
Our glove bag is used in a variety of ways and houses different textured, sized gloves. The children and parents are encouraged to explore the bag together. The gloves offere a sensory experience as they are made from all kinds of fabrics as there are so many variations, e.g. winter gloves, gardening, heavy duty DIY, baby, washing up etc.
The children love to use the glove bag for role play too. They love guessing who uses the different gloves in the bag.
Who would have thought a bag of gloves could provide so much fun!

Another for the Dear Zoo story sack. This can be used either as a simple matching game or as a lotto game if more boards are used. I made four sets of these up for the sack for more children to enjoy the game as well as to develop social skills and turn taking.
Simple to make and can be done with any theme.

Simple snap cards that i made for the Dear Zoo story Sack. Simple yet so effective.
For those of you have read my post on the sensory tactile flower cushio, here is an older version as mentioned. I found the photograph at last.
This one was made by a dear friend.

Round and round the garden like a teddy bear?
Using a large leftover piece of cotton and some leftover felt pieces, i went to work on creating this garden sheet.
The older children love holding the sides and flapping it up and down while teddy sits in the middle.
We sing - 'Round and round the garden, Like a teddy bear, One step - two steps, Throw teddy up in the air'.
The babies love this too while sat on their mummy's, daddy's, grandparent's knees.
Easy to make and you dont't have to be creative.
Love Sarah x
