It's Playtime! : The Areas of Play
Luckily enough, I find inspiration for all kinds of ways to play every week from It's Playtime! [Yay Playtimers!]
Here are your ways to play in each area of Play that I outlined yesterday.
Outdoor Play:
Gratefully Growing in Grace shows how simple outdoor play can be - take it to the track! Let the kids run free!
Nature Play:
Making fairy houses in nature is a perfect example of exploring Nature! Red Ted Art combines many of the areas of play [creative, pretend, nature...] with this fun activity!
Pretend or Imaginative Play:
Or dramatic play. I believe it all fits into this category. The Simple Blessings takes the simple act of taking a bath to the play area with the kids with a barbie/doll bath!
Exploratory Play:
The ooey gooiness of this paper pulp is full of sensory exploration! I love the whole series of Paper Pulp stories from Happy Little Messes!
Creative Play:
Adventures in Home Making created and explored with watercolor resist over crayons!
Play Based Learning:
A very playful way to learn shapes with a shape hopscotch from My Creative Family!
Free Play:
The Outlaw Mom has fun with bubble wrap, letting the kids have at it, popping and all.
High Five to all these play friends!

Excited to be back for another link-up! This week I'm linking up our rainy day activities! We made toddler-friendly rain sticks, umbrella cookies, and did some "rain drop art"! My little guy had so much fun he's going to start looking forward to rainy days. Looks like a lot of awesome ideas again this week, I can't wait to check them all out! My favorite blog hop. :) Thanks for hosting! Have a great day!

This post has so many great ideas! I love how you compiled them all together. The baby bathtub idea is great.
Hiya! I just realized I linked up the light box twice, in It's Playtime, this week! (#84 `). Oopsy! Sorry! You can delete one (if that's possible!).
