Flower Potions

Well, this is the one where all our flower bouquets go to meet their end - POTIONS! While the premise is the same each time with flowers, water, and simple tools, the way that the girls interact with it evolves each time based on the growth of their schema. This can come from books, experiences at school, or new foods that they want to continue interacting with through play. Remember that the more real-life experience your babe gets through you involving them, the greater their capacity and involvement in independent play. They’ve got that in their back pocket.

Every time that Colin brings home flowers, the girls anxiously ask (and ask and ask and ask) when they can play with them. They’ll usually spend some time twirling around with them, pretending to get married with their “married" flowers” and then I’ll toss them in our beloved sensory table with some water and simple tools. Off they go making potions and soups of all kinds! You can find our favorite sensory tools on our Amazon shop HERE.
