DIY ring sorter + peg people🤍

My latest DIY project is finished. 🌸 I’ve been inspired by so many beautiful open ended play resources lately, and wanted to create a version that worked for our family and our budget. This ring stand doubles as a colour matching activity, fine motor toy and loose parts resource. I paired the

I may have just found the missing piece to our block collection 🤎 After a lot of thought, I decided to add the @Grimms Large Stepped Pyramid to our playroom and I can already see so many possibilities for both my son and Baby G. It’s also made me realise we probably have too many blocks avail

I had quite a few people asking me to lead test these affordable @Temu s because not every family can afford brands 🤍 So I tested them, and they all passed. Kids deserve beautiful, engaging play opportunities at every budget level 🤍 For us, it’s about being intentional, doing research, ch

Ended up buying the @QToys - Learning Through Play rainbow nesting boxes from My Playroom. I really think my kids will LOVE these boxes and there are so many different ways they can be played with #openendedplay #playroom #openendedtoys #aussiemum #woodentoys

I purchased these with my own mine BUT I did ask @Honeybee Toys if they could give me a discount code to share with you; and they did!!! So, use the code Carissa10 for 10% off their @GRIMM´S Wooden Toys & @Grapat range (full priced only). I get no kickbacks at all; this is purely a discount code fo

Replying to @lifeofmel_aus if you shake them yes they come out easy. But when building and stacking I don’t notice them any different to other blocks🤍

Replying to @Rachael A little Temu haul that accidentally matched my current open ended play obsession 🤭 Picked up the prettiest crystal pendant for the playroom so the morning sun throws little rainbows everywhere ✨ plus a wooden airplane, wooden blocks and lucite pieces the kids have already b

Didn’t realise a light pad could make such a difference until this setup 😍 He’s been completely drawn into the colours, reflections and stacking for so much longer than usual. It honestly makes the lucites feel brand new again. 10/10 recommend trying this combo if you already have lucite bloc

Reminder that play doesn’t need to look advanced to be valuable 👌🏼 One is mouthing blocks. One is knocking towers over. Both are learning. Simple setups (sometimes no set up at all other than the blocks just displayed in their cases with cars nearby) are enough🤍 #openendedplay #invita

Not every meaningful toy has to cost hundreds 🤍 Picked up some simple peg dolls and loose parts from @Spotlight to paint with my kids and honestly… I think they’ll end up being some of our most loved pieces. The creativity, the memories, the little hands helping choose colours, that’s the magic

Used my latest brand deal pay cheque to finally buy something for our home instead of putting it straight towards bills, groceries or daycare fees for once 😅 I ended up getting a rug for our media room, definitely a splurge for me, but I love how much it’s changed the space 🤍 And genuinely, t
