I have great news! My co-organizers and I at Mindful Nurturing have put together an incredible new e-bundle that will inspire your whole family to become more playful and creative: the Mindful Play eBundle.
There's a little something for everyone, geared to kids from ages 1 on up to 12: coloring pages, a yoga storybook, science experiments and literary projects, mandala drawing tutorials, treasure baskets and sensory bins, modeling play, and much more.
The bundle contains 9 play-oriented e-resources, plus phenomenal bonuses. It's for sale only through October 3. After that, you'll never see this particular collection together again at this price.
Intrigued? Great! Here's a bit more about the contents:
- Sensory Bins: the What, the How and the Why, by Sharla Kostelyk of The Chaos and the Clutter:
Sensory bins are a simple and inexpensive learning tool that can benefit all children. Whether you are interested in incorporating sensory bins into your home, classroom, or homeschool, this guide will provide you the necessary knowledge and ideas to get started. It includes idea lists, storage and money saving tips, information on using sensory bins with Sensory Processing Disorder, and helpful recipes.
- Alphabet Glue, by Annie of Bird and Little Bird:
Alphabet Glue is a downloadable e-magazine for families who love books. Filled with activities, printables, projects, and plenty of inspiration, Alphabet Glue was created in hopes of helping more families incorporate creativity, imagination and all things literary into their everyday routines. Each issue contains leveled book recommendations organized by theme, bookmaking tutorials, story-building activities, and hands-on projects that complement favorite titles in children's literature. From stories to science experiments, Alphabet Glue has a little something for everyone. This bundle includes two fall-themed issues: Volume 9 and Volume 14 — Fold functional paper periscopes for amateur espionage and make simple plant presses. Sail a fleet of tiny sailboats and learn a bit about surface tension in the process. Reflect on the shape of rain drops, and create a bit of refrigerator-ready art while you're at it. Make bouncy balls out of laundry room staples and handy office supplies, and spend a bit of time thinking about how fossils are formed before trying your hand at making your own. All this and more in two fun- and story-filled volumes!

Born out of 6 months of travel with the author's own 4 children, How to Fool Your Kids Into Having Fun So You Can is an ebook packed with over 100 games for travelling without gadgets. These are not just your standard car or plane games, but also ones to keep them amused in restaurants, hotel lobbies, boats, and all kinds of places you might find yourself. Some will educate them along the way; most are just outright fun. And it doesn't have to be in some far-flung continent — they are just as useful even at your local deli. You could give your kids an electronic game — but this way you can give them some good old-fashioned fun interacting with people and the environment around them. Bring your sense of humour, and dive in.

I just wanted to make sure you knew right away since there are only a few days to learn about it and decide whether it's valuable to you. (But in the spirit of sharing links, Jennifer has a great one on Hybrid Rasta Mama about bundle burnout, why you should choose the bundles you do, and what you can do to organize your purchases. Definitely worth a read!) And I'll be bringing you some more play resources this week, so check back for inspiration toward fun and creative parenting.
I am so grateful for your support. Buying the bundle supports this site!
