Did you know that sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction?

4. Oh Happy Play Day

Meet Wendy, a pediatrician and a mom of two, inspired by the Montessori play-based learning method involving sensory activities and DIYs.

If her credentials don't seal the deal, her inventive kid activities will! The magic paper towel idea might be one of the best: Fold a paper towel, draw a colorful picture on one side, on the other outline the drawing with a black marker. When the paper towels gets in contact with water the black outline will be filled up with color, et voila! You'll become a wizard in their eyes!

And last but not least, I present to you, Kim Mcleod: Video creator, most of two as well, and kids craft maker (this is what we are here for)!

In the Best Ideas for Kids instagram account you will find all you've come to expect and more, like Kim's craft books!

Mcleod is also reworking some kindergarten classics like the pasta and glue collages and the atemporal hand tracing crafts. But this is not all! Her sun-catchers might be the best craft of all, since they also serve as genuinely beautiful decorative pieces for a classroom or a bedroom.
