open ended play!
open ended play!
Why do I love open ended play?
Open-ended toys—like blocks, magnetic tiles, or loose parts—don’t have a single “right” way to play. Instead, they spark imagination and creativity, allowing children to build, pretend, and explore in endless ways.
Through this type of play, kids practice problem-solving, cooperation, and flexible thinking while strengthening fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Because open-ended toys grow with a child’s imagination, they can be enjoyed across ages and stages, encouraging learning through play again and again.

sensory input
sensory input
Sensory input helps our bodies and brains stay balanced, calm, and ready to learn. For kids and adults alike, the right kind of input—like calming sounds, soothing textures, or movement—can make it easier to focus and feel comfortable.
One especially important sense is proprioception, or our “body awareness.” Think of this as our 6th sense (but but not the spooky kind). Activities that give deep pressure or heavy work (like pushing, pulling, or squeezing) can be very calming and help with self-regulation.
Using simple sensory tools and activities at home, school, or in the community can support focus, reduce stress, and help everyone feel more grounded. These are some of my favorites!
