Sweet potato goop

We started by placing sweet potato baby food in a ice cube tray to freeze. Once frozen we placed the cubes in a bin of cornstarch(cornflour in the uk) As the cubes melt it made a goop in the cornstarch. We ended up adding some orange dyed  water to make it better. This goop is also called oobleck. It is good for sensory play and be both a liquid and solid. It is also edible so it is ok for toddler and babies who like to mouth things. We added in some leaves but that is totally optional and is just as fun without.

We stamped the leaves and also painted around them to make beautiful unique pictures, we also painted the stick and rolled that around to add to our pictures.  Lots of fun, make sure to share ur fall pictures and I will post them right to our wall!

Counting cones

We made ice cream out of construction paper and placed numbers on them. Then we used them to add, subtracted and count. Cheap easy idea for any kid learning math.

product review for shopkins

not for children under 3 prices vary depending on store and what pack you get Shopkins are collectible small toys that resemble items you would find at a store. Their is 148 to collect or trade,some are rare and some even have sparkles~ They also come in shopping bags or baskets, witch is good for storing them away. (shopping bags shown here, baskets are not) They are very cool toys and can be combined with other toys for play time. My daughter added taffy & a pup to play but barbies or anything like that would be a great combination for these toys. The shopping cart that came with 2 shopkins was nicely done. It's big and can easily fit 24 shopkins. Also the front seat in the shopping cart moves so if you have more then one shopping cart you can stack them just like a real grocery store! In the end I highly recommend this toy, and we will add to our collection for sure~ Here is their official commercial to see more~ https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=f5iyn Oeo_-g
