Superworm by Julia Donaldson is one of our favourite kids books and while we were reading it the other night I suddenly realised that it would be super easy to do some sensory play along side it. As well as playing with it my three year old daughter really enjoyed helping me set this Superworm sensory play up and we had a good time reading along with the book and acting it out too!

Autumn is the perfect time to stay inside and hide from the weather but sometimes I know we get a bit bored of doing the same old stuff.
My kids both adore playing with play dough (as do I if I’m honest) so I thought I’d share some fall and autumn play dough ideas to help give us all a bit of inspiration for the days when the weather is a little bit less than awesome.

Over the years we’ve shared a lot of sensory play ideas for kids and there’s one thing that’s always super popular with my kids – playdough.

Well the craze for DIY slime still seems to be carrying on so today I’m sharing some really cool borax free slime recipes with you today – in fact all of these are taste safe or edible slimes!

I’ve previously made slime for my son using washing detergent but it’s something I wouldn’t do anymore and it’s not something I’d advise. My daughter is also one of those kids that puts everything in her mouth so making slime with glue is out of the question for us too!
