If your children are clingy and dependent on you, these play setups will encourage longer periods of play.

Meaning = more moments of peace for you!

P.S. you DON’T have to be a super-crafty parent. I swear.

Q: What is the age range for these activities?

A: These activities are perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarten age children. Generally, 18 months to 6 years-old. However, teenagers with autism have downloaded and enjoyed these. And many activities are even relaxing for adults to join in. Everyone is welcome!

Hi! I'm Catherine

True story: my then 3 year-old once yelled “I can’t play alone!” I was so frustrated. And to be honest, annoyed.

Fast forward to today, and she now plays like an angel in her room every day after lunch for almost 2 hours. (Score!) 

It didn’t happen overnight. We puts in lots of effort to create a more peaceful, relaxed home. 

And now, I support parents, family, and educators to raise children outside of gender norms to embrace who they are. I'm passionate about gender equity and social justice, and play is a critical piece of raising good mini-humans.

As the parent of a talkative 5 year-old (only child), independent play is a MUST in our house.

When I’m not blogging or momming, I love dance parties, Gilmore Girls, and nibbling on dark chocolate.
