Playing with ice.

Mixing colors (with eye droppers and pouring) on the light panel.

Making warm softdough. We also made flubber the other week. I would love to find a natural source of clay for further "sculpting" play.

Stained glass with contact paper and tissue paper.

Doll play.

Sensorial table with insta-snow, styrofoam balls, and other containers for mixing and pouring. 

I really enjoyed taking the time to document and share some of the fun things we do around here in the afternoons, and I'm grateful that, as a community, we've created a library of ideas via the Things We Do After Nap flickr gallery. I'll continue to add photos to the pool, and I hope you do too.

Warm wishes for a festive weekend!
