The end result of our Little Fossil Finders | Prehistoric play for children T-Rex tray! 🦖

Once our little explorers carefully dug their way through the taste-friendly dirt, they discovered the hidden hard oobleck layer underneath — ready to crack, dig and explore!

And if they looked close enough… there were some sneaky dino footprints to be found too! 👣🦖

So excited to use our new Little Fossil Finders | Prehistoric play for children T-Rex fossil at a special little one's 2nd birthday tomorrow! 🦖🦴⛏️

✨ Mandala Magic ✨

Using colourful chickpeas and the beautiful native plant pieces from the Jellystone Designs Mindful Mandala, older children created intricate mandala-inspired patterns, carefully arranging colours, shapes and textures to create their own unique designs. 🌿✨

Meanwhile, our younger explorers enjoyed the simple joys of scooping, pouring and transferring — exploring the materials at their own pace while developing those little hands and coordination skills. 💛

There's no right or wrong way with sensory play!

🪱 🌱 🦋Our Healthy Soils sensory tray at the Nannup Flower & Garden Festival was all about the tiny creatures working away beneath our feet. Little explorers could dig through the soil, discover wriggly worms and uncover the important role insects and other minibeasts play in keeping our gardens healthy - even if we don't always see them. 🐛🪲 🌿

Because sometimes the smallest beings make the biggest difference. 🪱✨

🌻🌿 What a huge day for Mini Mess Makers at the Nannup Garden & Flower Festival a few weeks back! We loved meeting everyone, from little locals to families visiting from across the South West and even Perth! 🌱🏵

🐝 This buzzing little world was full of busy bees and golden honeycomb, all inspired by the fascinating lives of our favourite pollinator friends 💛🌼

We struck gold! ✨⛏️
Our little excavators loved discovering precious sparkly minerals (aka coloured chickpeas), nestled on top of a yellow split pea and orange lentil sensory base. Every scoop, pour and tiny treasure sparked curiosity, imaginative play and lots of hands-on exploration. Simple materials, endless discoveries! 💎

The fun was under construction... and we nailed it! 🔨🧱

The fizzy bricks at our Construction Corner morning were a huge hit and got real messy, real quick! 🤎 There was no shortage of muddy hands, happy faces and little builders hard at work digging, mixing and creating.

Now that's what messy play is all about! 👷🏻‍♀️🦺👷🏽‍♂️

Did you work it out? 🐾 Our last Paw Patrol-inspired sensory tray was based on everyone's favourite builder... Rubble! 💛 🚧🏗

This time, we've swapped dirt for snow, ice and frosty adventures... but which Paw Patrol pup do you think inspired this chilly sensory world? 🧊🐧🐻‍❄️ ❄️💙 Drop your guess in the comments! 👇
