Two Friday’s ago, a friend invited me to go to a PurposePlayPlay pop-up event.
I had never been and I didn’t know what to expect.
Since I’m frequently searching for things to do with Chlo/Zo, and it was only $10, I decided to join her.
I’m so glad I did! It was the cutest setup!
They had different stations for the kids to play at:
- Leaf sweeping with brooms and rakes.
- Campsite complete with s’mores and sleeping bags.
- A fish pond full of blue shredded paper and magnetic fishing poles.
- Sensory bins with beans and sand.
- S’mores making station with pretend marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and aluminum foil.
Cotton balls for snow.
Leaves and grass.
A gel/water pad for a stream.
A cave.
Dirt.
A bear rug for a bear in the cave.
It was only an hour (which was so nice!)
And at the end you could purchase a sensory bin kit for $15.
I bought one and filled up a tin disposable tray with rice.
…Rice..that the hubs had bought to make his lunches! 😂 ha!
Chloe had a blast.
She and her brother have spent HOURS quietly playing with their sensory bin. The only downside is that rice is all over my kitchen.
It’s worth it. Plus, my roomba (Jeeves) picks up most of the rice for me! 🙃
Check out PurposePlay to find a pop-up near you! Or, search Pinterest for sensory bin ideas and make one for your little! They are cheap and adored by the kiddos!
It might steal you a few minutes to use the bathroom alone or…if you wanna dream big, a shower! Ha!
