I recently ran into a problem: the toddlers I’m working with needed a toy that could help them learn to label emotions. Interestingly, our research is showing that it’s easier for children to label others’ emotions than it is for them to label their own so I start with kids labeling the emotions of others. …

Whether I’m working on narrative creation, narrative retell, or using correct language structures during narratives I like to keep the activity as fun as possible. I find that this can be one of the hardest tasks for kids and giving them a fun way to work on it (with Disney videos, video games, or story …
For my snow-themed sensory bin I usually use white tinsel pom-poms , but since white Pluffle came with the black Pluffle I got for my April sensory bin I decided to try that this year. I added the same Olaf Doorables that I got for my themed monthly prizes as well as an Elsa Doorable …

I’m sticking with “rainbows” a lot so I got these rainbow-colored plastic rocks and added them to these clear iridescent plastic rocks. I added these Inside Out 2 Doorables (and got a second set for my …
For my food-themed sensory bin I got this “Ice Cream Treats” kinetic sand pack. I got one years ago and had the hardest time keeping kids from mixing the colors/scents/flavors!
