Posted @withregram • @pinksoapworks Merry and Bright is the vibe we have today as folks are really coming out to support local! Thank you Canada!! In the spirit of Christmas giving, we thought we would share where WE personally have shopped locally this year for amazing hand made creations for our special peeps! We hope you will take a peek at the awesomeness our maker and small businesses community has to offer 🌲💖. Tap to see the makers we have tagged! And on the most delicious side note, these hand made from scratch peppermint marshmallows were created by Robin over at Chatterfield Farms in Merrickville, which you can still purchase! ☕ @floatorfly @quilling_it_ @beesavvyhoney @maggiesshortbreads @chatchandbo @kricklewoodfarm @trumamastyleco @pickleandmyrrh @chatterfieldfarm @janetcanstamp @therusticgal @strutjewelry @blueberry_mountain_naturals @perfectlyimperfectbykim @sockdirtytome @katiejanehare @peroparsophieperreault @peekaboocornwall #local #makers #community #shoplocal #handmadeinthe613 #makersmovement #stockingstuffers #supportsmallbusinesses #shopsmall #purchasewithapurpose #surprise #stayhome #makersgonnamake #shoplocalcanada #canadianmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CI1D8tzBCIt/?igshid=1kkrtgyfwypne

GEEK MARKET SWAG. We had a great morning at the @ottawageekmarket. It was a lot of fun to be a participant, instead of a vendor (definitely less pressure!). Chloë and I completed Geek Quests (Star Wars and Star Trek), while Xavi and Dad played with the LEGO display. We said hi to friends at @sweetingenuity @shoes_and_champagne & @floatorfly, and we got a little bit of shopping in. I'm most excited for my new Totoro earrings. Now to make a shirt to go with them...#MiniGeeks #showswag #geekmarket http://ift.tt/2nrql9V

#ShavingCream #Clouds ☁️❤️💛💚💙💜💗☁️🌧💗💜💙💚💛❤️☁️ I have been wanting to try this #STEAM activity for quite a while, so when my CoTeacher suggested we try it in connection to our airplane/rock #sensorybin ( check out our previous post) I was super excited. It was cool to see how each group of children (we teach 4 separate groups ranging from 15 months-3 years) explored with the materials differently. The first group very carefully used their pipettes to #transfer the colored liquid onto the #shavingfoam. One group asked for paper to make marble prints. Another group (our youngest) enjoyed pouring and transferring the colored water and foam from glass to glass, exploring with their whole bodies (make sure to check out all the photos to see the beauty of #messyplay). Our last group used the pipettes to squirt the water on the paper creating the coolest patterns! We try our best to let the children guide the exploration and it usually turns out to be super exciting and sometimes better than what we originally expected! I sat there and "casually" talked about what I was noticing in hopes of inspiring #inquiry from the children. Some of the #noticingstatements I made were: "Look at how the shaving cream is just floating on top of the water!" "The colors are so bright on top of the white foam!" "Do you see how the colors are slowly moving down the foam and then quickly blending into the water?" "The water is changing colors!" "Before the colors were just sitting on the foam, but now is see them sinking to the bottom!" These statements opened up conversation about how the Foam worked hard to carry all the colored water until so much water was in the foam that it became too heavy to hold it all in. The heavy colors sink down to the bottom just like rain clouds become heavy from water and it begins to rain to lighten its load. Also, super exciting when your plan for the week matches up with a few challenges! #floatorfly #smockson @smockson @artcampla #osk_foam @oursensorykids #activelearning #earlylearning101 @earlylearning101 #finemotor #grossmotor #teachertypes #thatminimalistteacher #themateriallife #ourmateriallife
