  • 10 Fabulous Sensory Play Ideas for 2-4 year old kids!

10 Fabulous Sensory Play Ideas for 2-4 year old kids!

Have you ever noticed how quiet your child is and then you discover they managed to open and squeeze out your favourite moisturiser and smeared it all over themselves, the floor and anywhere else they were playing? Well your child is in need of some sensory play! Children as early as 1 will love sensory play (for 1 year olds ensure they are playing with edible sensory play – as they tend to put everything in their mouths!) We’ve teamed up with Eman from @Tala_and_mommy to bring you some of her best sensory play ideas. Ever since I started my homeschool journey I have followed Eman’s journey with her daughter Tala on Instagram. We absolutely love their sensory play ideas so I contacted her to share some of her fab ideas with all of you! Here’s Eman sharing her top 10 fave sensory play ideas below:

tala and mommy pinterest

 

1. Play Dough

Whether homemade or bought, it’s kids’ favourite kind of sensory play. My recipe for making it is

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoons cream of tartar/ or vinegar/ or lemon juice
  • Up to 1.5 cups boiling add gradually
  • food colouring / watercolour / paint (optional)

Kids can enjoy play dough with lots of loose parts, invitations to play, letter formation, and improving their fine motor skills.

2. Rice

Plain or coloured, it’s been my daughter’s favourite of all our sensory play ideas.  You can set up a lot of activities using coloured rice as shown in the photos, for improving fine motor skills like scooping and pouring, alphabet/number, letter formation, cupcake invitation and even small world formation etc.

3. Ice

Ice is another favourite sensory play medium for kids. You can use it in alphabet recognition, ice cream making, cause and effect play, freshening up on a hot day or to freeze some nature finds. It all works! The best part is that it’s so simple to do! All you need is water, food colouring, moulds, and a freezer!

4. Cloud Dough

I usually make a 2 ingredient recipe of oil (1 part): flour (8 parts). For the colours you can add oil based food colouring or just dissolve the colour you wish in oil or you could simply mix it with the flour before adding the oil. Tala loves making cupcakes a lot so I created an invitation to play to make and sprinkle the cupcakes with cloud dough. It’s a win win situation for a simple birthday invitation to play! Cloud dough is great to scoop, transfer, and mould. It soft and simple and your children will love it!

 

5. Bubbles!

I don’t what it is about bubbles, but kids love playing with them! We use our bubble bath wash and below we painted a rainbow on the bubbles. We created a scene so we can talk about colours., where the sky is blue and the clouds are white and how a rainbow forms! We also made a bubble blowing elephant. It was so much fun!

 

6. Cooked Spaghetti

Spaghetti is nice for early cutting skills, formation of letters or small world play. All you have to do is cook it regularly and then put it in a plastic bag, add a little bit oil, add a few drops of watercolour or food colouring and mix! Tala enjoys them in rainbow colours a lot.

7. Snow

In the Winter, kids will most likely enjoy playing with snow outside building snowmen or igloos. But you can enjoy snow inside too. Tala loved playing outside with the snow but because she felt too cold, we could not stay long enough outside. So I decided to bring the fun inside, where she can enjoy the snow and feel warm. So I made an ice cream invitation to play with real snow, which I coloured by spraying or pouring cold coloured water on it. And she enjoyed scooping and making different flavoured ice cream. And if you live in a country where there is no snow or it rarely snows, you can enjoy fake snow. Like the house scene I made for her. Fake snow can be bought or made with simple ingredient. A great fake snow recipe is, mix 2 1/2 cups of baking soda with 1/2 cup of white conditioner.

 

8. Sand

Sand can be used as it is for lots of sensory play. You can also add a little water and play with wet sand. Alternatively you can try my recipes below to use the sand to make sand dough, sand cloud dough or even kinetic sand.

  • A sand cloud dough recipe that I have tried is I mixed 1 cup of sand with 1 cup of flour, and then I added 4 table spoons of baby oil or until you can feel it’s easy to mould.
  • A kinetic sand recipe that I tried is 1 cup of extra fine sand (I used sand from the beach and you can buy fine sand for a better result) 1/2 cup of corn starch, 1 table spoon of dish soap. And ¼ cup of water. Colour is optional.  Mix the ingredients together and let it dry out overnight.
  • A sand play dough recipe that I tried is 1 cup beach sand, 1 cup flour, ¼ cup salt, 2 table spoons veg. oil/or baby oil, 2 tablespoons cream of tartar/or vinegar, or lemon juice and add hot water as you need.

You can enjoy these recipes to make a sand castle, or small world formation, adding lots and lots of loose parts like we did in my pictures below.

 

9. Soil

Making small world invitation to play with soil, as the farm invitation in the picture below or just planting some pretend or real fruit and veggies.

 

 

10. Ooblek

Ooblek (Non-Newtonian fluid) is a suspension made of corn flour (2 parts) and water (1 part). It has interesting physical properties, because it’s liquid and solid at the same time. Here I added some colour to the divided mixture and froze it using an ice cube tray. Then Tala enjoyed playing and painting with it.

This was a guest post written by Eman from @Tala_and_mommy . Eman is a Pharmacist by profession and is currently a Stay at Home Mom. She is mommy to 3 year old Tala. She loves sharing her arts and crafts, play ideas, kids activities and books over on her social media handles. You can check out Eman’s journey with Tala over on Instagram and Facebook! Head on over to her pages to show her some love and support for these great sensory ideas and recipes!

I never knew you could make these materials from simple everyday items in the cupboard, my daughters is going to love this, or maybe she already knows. Anyway love all these ideas and will be passing this on as all my children are adults now but my grandson will love it, he just turned 2. I think I will try the coloured spaghetti for the next time he visits – jazakallah

This is great, we love sensory activities especially anything with water and sand. I realy want to make a mud kitchen one of these days, I think that would be an amazing sensory area for kids.

What a beautiful, rainbow filled post, masha’Allah. Insha’Allah families who cannot access outdoor spaces for soil and sand play can choose something from your list to facilitate simple sensory play times in the kitchen.

Oh I love this!!! Sensory Play is super important for the development of the child and it’s so much fun seeing how imaginative they are as they grow. I think I will try this one with my class. Thank you for sharing 🙂 (www.spicyfusionkitchen.com)

Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subh Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subhanAllah what a tragic ending for the 4th Caliph, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.
.
There were a lot of questions and discussions on what happened next and who became Caliph and whilst I could share with my eldest briefly I think this will be another history topic that we will explore at a later date. 
.
But for now it has been quite the journey getting through this topic on the Great Caliphs and something I’d highly recommend to you especially if you’ve taught your children the Seerah .
.
We hope you’ve enjoyed following along - the full plan and resources are now available in our shop www.mamateachesme.com

Our 40 page plan and Resources are nearly finalised for this Unit The Great Caliphs - looking forward to sharing more soon IA

I didn’t quite read the full reviews but did know it was set in war-torn Syria 🇸🇾- it’s such an important read highlighting the human plight of the Syrian War sadly but also full of hope. The author did an amazing job writing this! I’m not going to give any more away but I will say go buy it or borrow it - it’s one to read!

Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Cali Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Caliphs and we look deeper into the tragedy that was the Muslim Civil Wars. This was something I didn’t even know about in my childhood and only learnt of it during my time in University. 
.
Surprisingly the children’s books we are using didn’t mention these battles - however I felt it was important for Ammarah to learn what had happened especially as we are learning this as a History unit. So we looked to another book (as pictured) and found details of the the 2 major battles that occurred between Ali (ra) and other companions of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.
After our reading we found out that much of the controversy surrounded the murder of Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and finding his killers. We discussed how both sides wanted pretty much the same thing but as Ali (ra) was in charge, he knew how best to deal with the situation. It definitely was a sad time for the Muslims - and what made things worse, we read up - was that there were rebels and hypocrites who were taking advantage of the disagreement and causing more problems! The whole lesson made a very interesting discussion. 
.
.
Both times the companions and Ali (ra) made peace or settled with peace in order to stop the bloodshed of fellow Muslims. 
.
Did you know about these Muslim civil wars? Full resources and planning coming soon iA

Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - yes the grass always looks greener, but live in the present and count your blessings. Thank Allah for all that He is given you - your in a place of privilege compared to most. Don’t let Shaytan make you feel sorry for yourself - you have lots to be grateful for Alhamdulillah.
.
Begin and end your day with Alhamdulillah and allow Allah to increase you with more iA 😍
.
.
If you’re finding it difficult - start with a gratitude journal and list your daily blessings and feel the change within you - praise Allah often and moisten your tongue with his remembrance. 
.
.
May Allah bless you with the best of this world and the aakhirah Ameen

There’s something about starting a new exercise There’s something about starting a new exercise book that sends an excitement of a fresh start and a new beginning. The kids are always so motivated to do their best work on the first few pages too. 
.
And it had me wondering why wait for the new exercise book or new year even to get that feeling and motivation. Every month, week and day can be that new start and even within that if the day doesn’t start as planned, there’s still time to turn it all around - with a NEW INTENTION Alhamdulillah. So if you’ve had a wobbly start to the year, month, week or day - remind yourself you can start over - renew your intention, remember your why and say Bismillah!
.
.
We’ve been sorting and sifting through our stuff since we’ve come back to UK 🇬🇧- starting with a new topic soon but wanted to get ahead with some daily learning including some easy activities I’ve prepared in their new books especially as we are working towards the girls becoming more independent and responsible for their learning. 
.
Swipe to see a little of Ammarah’s independent writing of life in Makkah Alhamdulillah - (although we did work through breaking down the paragraphs) exercise books which I highly recommend are from @bm_stores UK 🇬🇧 - durable and long lasting (and the covers haven’t fallen off so far) Alhamdulillah, we’ve been using these throughout our homeschool journey!
.
.
How are you encouraging your children to become independent learners- what systems have you put in place if any? Share below - Our weekly planners are definitely a hit in our homeschool 👌

Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smil Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smiley faces, medals, certificates, praise, treats - kids love it! 😁
.
Bonuses, free coupons, discount codes, Tax returns and loyalty points or freebies, compliments, likes and shares - works on us too! 😄
.
My girls love seeing their maths books marked and ticked (sometimes I’m lazy about it - guilty) and mostly love getting their correct answer and perfect score. But over time as I’ve challenged them, I’ve said it’s not about the answer as much (ok sometimes it is) it’s all about how you got there! 
.
As the girls are older now, there is on some days a little more motivation required to get that Homeed routine in full swing. Getting through the daily tasks or even sitting and opening a work book is all determined by how you start your day. 
.
A good morning routine helps (obviously each day is different in homeschool) but I tend to find a good sleep the night before, wake earlier, a good breakfast, some time for play and then an outline of the day and what’s happening works nicely for us. We also usually start with Quran - just gets us into routine immediately Alhamdulillah. 
.
But I’ve needed more and so adopted a virtual sticker chart (created on Canva) idea taken from their Quran teacher @mar_fizzler 😄 probably why they enjoy the lessons too - and we focussed on attitude, effort and achievement to learning more than just the end result solely - after 12 stickers (they’ve really got to work hard to earn them 😅😂) the girls get a surprise treat - last time it was toys on our trip to Dubai - this time I’m hoping it’s a day out instead! 
.
What kind of reward system do you have in your home? Whether you homeschool or not? What’s working for you? Would love to hear more below 😅

We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet M We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to look at the relationship with the 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra).
.
It was of course a great recap of the Seerah too and a look at how Ali (ra) also married Fatima (ra), daughter of Prophet (pbuh) and the children they had. 
.

This cut and stick activity is Available to purchase in our shop separately - www.mamateachesme.com - will be sold as part of the The Great Caliphs Resource pack too

How often do you revisit the Seerah stories with your children?

The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) . Continuing The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra)
.
Continuing the final of the 4 Great Caliphs - we looked at the cousin of the Prophet (pbuh) Ali (ra) who was the first child to become Muslim. He grew up in the household of the Prophet (pbuh), he became son in law of the Prophet (pbuh) and was appointed some important and significant tasks during the life of the Prophet (pbuh).
.
Ali (ra) was given the task to return everyone’s money and goods that were kept in the care of the Prophet (pbuh) when he migrated to Madinah. He also lay asleep in the Prophet’s (pbuh) bed when the plot was to kill the Prophet (pbuh) - instead they found Ali (ra). 
.
We also calculated that Ali (ra) was 30 years younger than the Prophet (pbuh) so he was only about 10 when revelation came to the Prophet (pbuh) at age 40. 
.
Stay tuned for the other lessons - will be sharing the full resource pack and plans very soon iA

Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and hi Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and his amazing sadaqah jaariyah opportunities in Madinah, it reminded me of a sadaqah jaariyah project you can donate to in Makkah. 
.
Whilst on our travels to the Haram we discovered this place in the Clock Tower, ground Floor - straight ahead and on your left hand side as you enter through the main doors of the Clock Tower. 
.
It’s called Gayth. A small booth for donating money to charity and the poor in Makkah especially. You can also pay towards an Aqiqah, kaffarah, fidya (including for anything you may have done wrong during your Umrah etc ie not entered Makkah in Ihram for example) 
.
As the girls now receive pocket money, they both decided they wanted to donate towards a waqf project helping orphans and poor people in Makkah last year - a beautiful sadaqah jaariyah opportunity in Makkah Alhamdulillah. I had told them it adds barakah to their pocket money so they wanted to donate- Swipe to see more including their excitement to see their name on the receipt and to be a part of this project in Makkah 😌
.
Thought I’d share for those travelling for Umrah so you don’t miss out on this opportunity especially if you wanted to donate zakat or sadaqah too - they take cash or card at the booth or you can donate online https://ghaith.org.sa/ (the website is in Arabic) 
.
.
SAVE this post for your next visit or share with family or friends visiting! 
.

Are you often looking for new or different sadaqah jaariyah opportunities? How are you building for your Aakhirah?

“What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered? “What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered?” Was the reaction my eldest had to this final lesson on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) “Why would they murder the caliph?” She questioned - and rightly so.
.
And that’s exactly what we set out to explore. What events actually led to the murder of the 3rd Caliph? It was sad to read that a companion so close to the Prophet (pbuh) being his son in law twice and one of the 10 promised Jannah would be murdered. 
.
You can zoom into to read Ammarah’s findings but essentially when we discussed what had happened, we said some Muslims had become greedy. Greedy for land, power and money. It actually became a sad lesson by the end, especially when we saw how Uthman ibn Affan (ra) didn’t use force with the rebels so not to be the one who starts a civil war amongst the Muslims 😞 but then he was brutally murdered in his own home whilst reciting Quran - subhanAllah. 
.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. 
.

Follow along for the last few lessons on the 4th Caliph as we share and post this week!

We’ve travelled back to England for a few months We’ve travelled back to England for a few months now Alhamdulillah - like all who travel back from Umrah - our hearts still yearn for Makkah but we are grateful Allah is with us everywhere.

Alhamdulillah for the ease of travelling,  the fact that we can and the duas we can make. 
.
From the desert heat to the colder climate of the UK, always fascinated by Allah’s creation and blessings upon us Alhamdulillah.

Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Cyprus was conquered and other areas of Norther Africa the Islamic rule was solidified and the rebellion crushed in Armenia and Azerbaijan - this was just some of the victories in the time of Uthman (ra) becoming Caliph. Also, the first Muslim Navy was established and the Quran standardised into one script. There was much wealth and prosperity but sadly some who weren’t happy with the rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Ammarah was shocked to read that the 3rd Caliph was murdered in Madinah in his home whilst reciting Quran. What a sad state of affairs subhanAllah. 😞

We concluded the lesson by adding our timeline to our display wall.

Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wid Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wide, there was a need to standardise the Quran for the purpose of reciting and so began the start of a written version of the Quran and including fatha, dharma and kasra- which were actually marked by dots. We got to explore Kufic script in detail and close up and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the difference and similarities between the script back then to how it is now. 
.
We found out that a committee of senior Sahaabah were given this task including the original scribe from time of the Abu Bakr’s (ra) Caliphate, Zaid ibn Thabit (ra) and others were appointed for this task. The original text that was collated and compiled into a book was in the possession of Hafsa bint Umar ibn al Khattab (ra). It was used as the base for this written standardised version. The Quran was then recited 3 times in front of Hufaadh (those who had memorised the Quran) included Uthman ibn Affan (ra) to double check it’s accuracy. 
.
Alhamdulillah as we know Allah Himself tells us - ‘’We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (Al-Hijr –Stone land-:9) Allah has promised us that He himself will preserve the Quran and protect it. 
.
Absolutely amazing that Uthman ibn Affan (ra) was honoured with this noble task. It’s absolutely amazing to have this miracle of the Preservation of the Quran and the fact that it is still a book that is read widely and memorised widely even today Alhamdulillah!
