Maison loves sensory playtime. You’d be surprised what activities you can put together with things that are right in your cabinet.
Beans, Rice, water, shaving cream, dried pasta etc.

Don’t stress over toys because for many of our kiddos they don’t play with them for long anyway. Get a few bins or buckets from the dollar store and pull them out when it’s time for sensory play.

Was that helpful?
Do you have any sensory play ideas you can share? Let me know in the comments 👇🏾👇🏾

We are almost 1 month away from The Moments of Joy Fest 2023.
An in person event designed to honor and celebrate parents raising children with special needs.

There is still time to register and there is still time to volunteer.

This will truly be a time for these families to experience a moment of joy. Not only will we learn together but we will meet other families who are just like us! I’m looking forward to the bonding and witnessing the outpouring of LOVE that will take place.

A few discounted hotel rooms are still available and all of the information is listed on our website www.mojfest.com

I hope to see you there.

Do your kids watch YouTube??
We watch YouTube in my home and there are so many videos that have helped maison learn to count, identify colors, animals, and animals, and more.

I don’t let him watch it unless I’m sitting right next to him because sometimes commercials come up that I don’t like or the next suggestion may be weird and I don’t approve.

I’m so glad that we heard about !

LearnWatchGo provides you with the ability to control what your child watches on YouTube by limiting content to only the channels that you personally select for your child, no more video rabbit hole!

What I love most is it also provides real-time video history with transcripts scanned and highlighted for profanity for your review, and even helps them take a break between videos with brain-building math and spelling quizzes.

If you’re a parent who cares about your child’s screen time, wants to ensure that your child isn’t clicking on inappropriate videos, and wants to provide your child with a fun and engaging way to learn this app is for you!
