Rotating Toys in Our Playroom – Month 2

Rotating Toys in Our Playroom – Month 2

Rotating Toys in Our Playroom – Month 2

Here is what rotating toys in our playroom looked like during this October!
Do you need some ideas for toy rotations? Every month, I plan on sharing our playroom and how I rotate the toys. Welcome to our second month!

Is Rotating Toys Important?

Toy rotations are a great way to keep kids engaged with a limited amount of toys to avoid overwhelming a child with too many choices which can often result in clutter, disorganization, and toys not being played with at all. A rotation could be weekly, monthly, every other month. There is no set way to do it, but I personally aim to do it monthly!  Rotating toys is not just about changing up the specific toys they are playing with, it is about displaying them in a simple way so they are in sight. In fact, some times you don’t even need to switch all of the toys out, but instead change the placement of a toy to spark a new interest in it!

Watch to See How I Rotated Toys This Month!

In this video you’ll see all the toys the kids got to play with and enjoy during the month of October! You will also see how I decorated the walls with my kid’s Halloween-themed artwork from past years as well as other spooky decor on top of the toy shelves! Keep on reading to see a full list and details on each of these toys along with links in case you are interested in rotating toys too! All activities should be supervised by an adult.

Toy Rotation Puzzle Display Hack!

The best way to display puzzles during toy rotations is with a plate stand! The puzzles are much more visible and inviting to play with.

If they are big enough, you can also try to prop them up against the back wall, but the wire plate stand is a much more secure option. 

You can also display books in it as well!

Benefits of Sensory Bags for Babies

Even babies can enjoy sensory play! Not only are these sensory bags for babies a fun distraction during that critical tummy time, but sensory play in general, is so beneficial for baby! This type of sensory play can help build neural connections in the brain as those young hands explore new textures, colors, and sounds.

They will also strengthen hand-eye coordination, and generally, are great for baby’s rapidly developing vision.

Tummy time will be a success as they will be so curious to see and try to feel what’s inside the bags!

Watch How to Make Sensory Bags for Babies

In this quick video, you’ll see how easy it is to make sensory bags for babies.

The 4 bags I created were all based on items I had in my home, which included a bag filled up with cheap hair gel and googly eyes, one filled with water beads, another one filled with oil, water, and food coloring; and finally, one filled up with leftover wrappers that made a crinkly sound!

Tips for Setting Up This Activity

Use What You’ve Got! As mentioned above, these sensory bags for babies were made of items I found around the house (including granola bar wrapper trash!). They do not need to be fancy, so feel free to adapt them based on what is available! Water, oil, shaving cream, water beads, hair gel, rainbow rice, paint – anything that makes a great sensory base will work well in a sensory bag!

Seal and Secure with Tape. For using sensory bags during tummy time, you’ll not only want to tape the plastic bags to the floor, but you’ll also want to first seal the zipper edge of the plastic bag with tape to prevent any spillage! Use an easy to remove masking tape for the floor, and something more strong like gorilla tape for sealing bags shut.

Make the Bag Label-Free. Both acetone, aka nail polish remover, and rubbing alcohol will remove the white label found on most plastic bags!

Materials

Step-by-Step Instructions 

Step 1

Remove the label on plastic bags using nail polish remover.

Step 2

Fill up your sensory bags with different sensory materials including water beads or crinkly leftover granola wrappers! You can also fill one up with oil, water and food coloring. Or you could fill one up with cheap hair gel and something like googly eyes!

 

Step 3

Seal the bags shut with strong tape. This is especially important when using liquids. Plastic bag’s built in zipper are not fool proof and are prone to breaking, so this will help prevent a clean up headache!

Step 4

Tape the sensory bags to the ground so that baby can enjoy looking at them and touching them during tummy time without the bags sliding around!

Tips for Setting Up This Activity

Extra Large Pom Poms. As babies develop their hand control, they usually bring them straight to their mouths. This is why using extra large pom poms, 1.75 inches and larger, is important to avoid any concerns for choking hazards.

Parts Need to Be Secured. The bells inside the velcro straps need to be firmly secured as they are small parts and it would be very dangerous if they were to get loose. Therefore, strong glue must be used or, alternatively, the pieces can be sewed together. Either way, supervision is required at all times.

Wake Windows. A wake window is that short time in between feeding and sleeping (or being changed!). Between 0-12 weeks wake windows can be between 60-75 minutes and up to 2 hours by 4 months. During this time, babies will benefit greatly from activities like this that not only stimulate their bodies, but their brains too. Be sure to grab these moments during the wake windows or else baby may get tired and cranky and may not want to play!

Materials

Step-by-Step Instructions 

Step 1

Firmly secure bells onto a strip of felt.

Step 2

Glue another strip of felt on top to enclose the bells.

 

Step 3

Glue extra large pom poms onto the felt band.

Step 4

Use velcro stickers on the ends so that the band can open and close around baby’s wrist.

In this video, you’ll see how much fun my 1 year old and 3 year old had practicing the skill of zipping this colorful board over and over again! It is one of those DIY items that made it’s rotation in our play room just as much as a store bought toy!

Tips for Creating This DIY Zipper Board

Colorful Set of Zippers. It is not necessary at all to have all of these colors, however it is a great opportunity to talk about colors during the activity to build on language development and vocabulary!

Glue. When gluing down the zippers make sure you keep the glue as far away as possible to the zipper itself. If it gets inside the zipper, it will be really tricky to zip it up and down without it getting stuck in the dried glue!

Cardboard. This is definitely a fun activity to save cardboard for! Cardboard is such a great DIY resource for kids activities since it is durable and basically free (if you get as many packages as we do!).

      More Ways to Strengthen Fine Motor Skills

If you find your kiddo absolutely loves this DIY toddler activity, then it’s a good reason to invest in buying a store-bought puzzle that is more durable and long-lasting!

During my babies first year of life, I try my best to get hands and footprints every single month because it is incredible to see how fast they grow! After the first year, I get their hands and footprints every birthday.

      Plus, handprints and footprints make the perfect gifts and keepsakes. You can include them in a card, or use them in a piece of artwork as well!

      Mess-Free Ink Pads versus Large Washable Ink Pads

      In this video, I test out mess-free ink pads for babies and compare them to the large washable stamp pads.

      There are definitely pros and cons to each of those that I further explain below! 

      Alternatively, you can always use regular washable paint, though this technique is the most messy!

      mess free stamp pads Baby Hand and Footprint Tips and Tricks

      Baby Hand and Footprints Using Mess-Free Ink Pad Technique

      These mess-free ink pads are a great choice for infants and babies. Baby is able to place the hand or foot down on top of a non-ink side, thereby transferring the ink onto a piece of paper without getting any ink on themselves!

      I found a set that comes in lots of different colors, not just the jet black one that you may have seen before or that hospitals often use.

      No doubt, there is a big benefit in this being mess-free, but there are a few cons. First, these pads are small and won’t be usable for older kids. Second, the number of uses is extremely limited. I was able to get 2-3 prints only from each ink pad.

       

      Baby Hand and Footprints Using the Large Stamp Pad Technique

      These large stamp pads do require getting ink on the skin, but they solve the big cons associated with using the mess-free ink pads.

      They are much larger and can be used by kids of all ages, even adults too! They also have a much longer life-span with lots of ink to create one handprint or footprint after another!

      And while they are not contact-less, they are non-toxic and easily washable.

      In addition to the two ink/stamp pads described below, you can also use regular old washable paint! It will do the trick just fine, even if it is a little bit messy!

      More Tips to Getting the Perfect Baby Hand and Footprints 

      Clipboard. Use a clipboard, hard cover book, or another hard surface when making prints! Just using a paper is too flimsy and may result in not so perfect prints!

      Heel to Toe. When making footprints, gently hold baby’s foot by the ankle and guide it from heel to toe onto the paper. The foot should open up and give you a nice print!

      Open Hand. Getting an open hand from an awake baby can be really tricky! With that in mind, try to grab baby’s handprints while they are sleeping. If that’s not possible, make sure baby is happy and fed, and gently add pressure at the top of the wrist before placing the hand onto the paper. This will often open the palm for optimum placement!

      This is why I love this fun Valentine activity. It allows the kids to be a part of creating their cute Valentine and lets us create fun memories together as well.

      Tips for Making This Valentine Handprint Craft

      Tacky Glue. We used tacky glue to create these Valentine handprint crafts because it is a strong adhesive that dries super fast!

      Paper Roll. If you’d like to sterilize your paper roll before using it in a craft, you can bake it on your oven’s lowest setting around 200F for 20 minutes.

      Handprints. Getting handprints from young children can sometimes be tricky. Instead of tracing, you may want to use a mess-free stamp pad instead!

      Easy to Make Play Dough – Tips and Tricks!

      Mix while hot, but use caution! 

      I wear gloves and mix the *very hot* play dough by hand to make sure that the dough is kneaded thoroughly, which spreads the heat, dissolving the granules to make a smooth texture. Don’t have your kiddos do this part!

      Why is my batch too sticky?

      Too much water was added! If too sticky add a little more flour.

      Why is my batch too dry?

      Not enough water was added! If too dry add a little more water.

      Do I need to add oil?

      The coconut oil gives the dough a super silky texture. You could also use glycerine. Alternatively, other vegetable oil will work too, but I’ve found that coconut oil makes it super silky!

      What is cream of tartar, and do I need it?

      The cream of tartar is a preservative and it makes the play dough have a longer shelf life. You can omit it, but the dough will not last as long!

      scented play dough rose valentine's day kid activity school gift

      How can I store and how long does it last?

      Play dough can last up to 6 months if stored in a sealed container. We like using 4oz jars as pictured below. But with all things that kid’s touch, there is risk of germs entering once touched, so always be sure to look for mold – seen as black dots. If black dots form, it’s time to throw out!

      Materials

      Step-by-Step Instructions 

      Step 1

      Mix together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a bowl.

      Step 2

      Add the rose extract and coconut oil.

      Step 3

      Add food coloring into the 3/4 cup of water.

      Step 4

      Boil the water. (In my microwave, it takes about 2 minutes to reach best temperature.)

      Step 5

      Mix the water into the flour mixture, transferring to a flat surface to knead until smooth and not sticky. Don’t miss my note above about wearing gloves to protect your hands from the heat!

       

      Step 6

      Repeat above recipe except skip the food coloring to make plain white play dough.

      Step 7

      Roll out 2 layers of white and 2 layers of red.

      Step 8

      Stack the layers on top of each other in red, white, red, white order.

      Step 9

      Use the rolling pin to flatten all the layers together a little more.

      Step 10

      From bottom to top, roll the play dough into a roll to desired thickness.

      Step 11

      Cut into individual portions and enjoy!

      Step 1

      Mix together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a bowl.

      From bottom to top, roll the play dough into a roll to desired thickness.

      Step 11

      Cut into individual portions and enjoy!

      The Importance of Playing with Play Dough

      Playing with play dough in general is such a sensory rich experience. The tactile experience provides wonderful hand strengthening opportunities. Rolling, squeezing, twisting, pulling, and more — all of these actions are great for fine motor skills.

      When you add a scent into play dough, it takes the sensory experience to the next level. This recipe had rose extract, but you could incorporate lots of different types of scents. Lavender, for example, would be a great way option for a calming, soothing recipe!

      In this video, you’ll see how both preschoolers and toddlers can enjoy this activity! While many preschool aged kids can easily match colors, this game takes it to the next level by using tongs. This may be tricky for some kids to use, but the more they practice, the more their hand-eye coordination and finger muscles will strengthen. Toddlers who are not quite ready to use tongs yet, can use their hands to transfer the pom poms into the paper tube.

      Tips for Making This Color Matching Activity

      Colors. Make paper tubes colorful by using acrylic paint, or an even faster process for grown ups to do is use spray paint!

      Cardboard. Cardboard makes the best puzzle boards! It is thick and durable. But the best part? It’s a free resource if you have constant at-home deliveries like us! 

      Tongs. For the added fine motor strengthening component of this activity, get some tongs that are kid-friendly! We bought a set that are for serving hors d’oeuvre – they are small and easier for kids to use.

      Materials

      • Cardboard
      • Paper Tubes
      • Paint

      Step-by-Step Instructions 

      Step 1

      Cut toilet paper tubes in half (or leave them whole for double the filling!). Paint tubes — acrylic paint, tempera paint sticks, spray paint, whatever you have on hand!

      Step 2

      Glue painted tubes down to a piece of cardboard. I used hot glue since it dries super fast. For the older kids, grab a tong and set aside pom poms, or bottle caps, or erasers, anything smallish that will fit inside. And watch those fine motor skills at work!

      This activity for toddlers is a colorful way to use stale cereal for sensory play that is also taste safe! Keep on reading to find out how easy this is to set up! 

      A Taste Safe Activity for Toddlers

      This activity is not about eating the cereal! Taste-safe and edible play are not synonymous. We prefer not to do edible play because to avoid the confusion of what sensory bases are safe to eat versus not safe to eat. I want my kiddos to assume that all sensory bases are not meant to be put in the mouth! 

      Therefore, this activity is taste-safe. Allowing a toddler to explore the sensory bases while learning not to put it in their mouth. Of course, if a toddler were to eat some, grown ups will know that it will not be harmful!

      How to Make This Activity for Toddlers

      Watch this short video to see how easy it is to make stale cereal colorful. I want to emphasize to use stale cereal because there is no use in wasting good cereal you can eat! However, if you have cereal that would otherwise go in the trash bin, always think about how you could use it for sensory play first!

      My daughter, two years old at the time, had so much fun scooping and pouring and mixing it all up!

      Tips for Setting Up This Activity for Toddlers

      Bowls and Spoons. Make sure to include them in the set up! They are perfect tools for young kids to learn the practical life skill of scooping, pouring, and transferring!

      Keep it stale! As mentioned above, we don’t want to encourage playing with good food that can be eaten. Instead, this is about utilizing stale cereal that would otherwise hit the trash bin!

      Food Coloring. We used a gel-based food coloring as it spreads a bit more evenly. The water-based food coloring is likely to absorb too quickly into the cereal and not spread as well. Also, be sure to let the cereal dry before playing with it to avoid the color transferring to the skin. However, if it does, wash hands with baking soda as this has been an effective way to remove stains on skin.

      Materials

      Step-by-Step Instructions 

      Step 1

      In a sealed container, add 1/2 cup of cereal. We used Cheerios. Add a squirt of gel based food coloring. (It may help to squirt it to the side of the container, not directly on the cereal itself.)

      Step 2

      Seal the container and shake, shake, shake! Once the color is spread throughout, lay the cereal out to dry for an hour to minimize the color from transferring. Repeat for each color.

      The Importance of Sensory Play 

      It’s important to teach kids sensory play because it teaches them to learn with their bodies’ various senses. 

      This also teaches them colors as well as lets them feel the shapes of the cereal and hold the various colors with their hands. 

      Teach them the importance of not putting things in their mouth without understanding that it’s safe to do so as well. 

      This is one fun colorful activity that is perfect for toddlers and younger learners.

      In addition to this Peppa Pig activity, we have made so many other play dough kits – from ocean, to cupcake, to Frozen, and insect themed to name a few. 

      I know that it’s important to keep the supplies on hand to make the kits, and I try to do that always! The following are what I think is important to have on hand to create play dough kits for the kids.

      Step-by-Step Instructions 

      Step 1

      Create the homemade play dough and have the kids help decide the colors that they want to make it. We chose green for grass, brown for muddy puddles, and pink for the pig’s colored skin.

      Step 2

      Once the play dough has been made, make sure to let it cool down all the way and then store it in the container. 

      Step 3

      Put the rest of the play dough kit items inside, and you’re good to go!

      Beyond Just a Peppa Pig Activity

      Playing with play dough is so much more than just having playtime at home. The kids will use their hand muscles and dexterity to stretch and mold the play dough to create fun and new things.

      This is great for sensory play and development and a simple way to have them think outside the box for creativity as well. Encourage independent playtime with play dough, too, as a fun way to work on that skill as well!
