What is a Playful Learning Invitation?

Simple, engaging, and developmentally supportive of limitless little minds.

Playful Learning Invitations all began with my oldest son; I found that, like all young children, he was fascinated by the world around him and would gravitate toward specific things from time to time; Sometimes it was an obsession with dinosaurs, other times it was a fascination with the night sky, stars, and planets. When those interests arose, I gently accommodated them with a healthy collection of books and occasionally some themed toys, but I wanted to take it to the next level and really allow him the opportunity to explore his interests in a more hands-on way. And Playful Learning Invitations were born!

They began with just a couple themed activities here and there whenever a new interest arose, and naturally evolved into what I am honored to share with you today. Each Playful Learning Invitation includes: a sensory setup, interest poster(s), SIX invitations per theme, and often a BONUS play dough invitation (or more)!

I create each of these invitations to not only support your little one’s interests, but also as a catalyst for introducing and fueling new potential interests! Best of all, they don’t require an unmanageable amount of work for you to prepare. Simple, engaging, and developmentally supportive of limitless little minds.

Allow your child’s interest to be the guiding force in learning; as they continually fine-tune their likes and dislikes, you may find that their interest in this theme has naturally “burnt out” by the end of the invitations. Yet the opposite may happen, too; If your child’s interest is excited by these invitations, please feel free to not only repeat invitations but also build upon them or even create invitations of your own! Encourage your child to be the leader of his learning!

Happy playing, happy learning!
