Spring Jellycat favorites are finally here! 🌸🐰 These ultra-soft Jellycat plush toys are perfect for Easter baskets, baby gifts, and cozy cuddles. The Jellycat bunnies, lambs, and seasonal plushies are some of the most popular stuffed animals every spring, and they sell out very quickly. If you’re planning Easter baskets or looking for a special plush gift, now is the time to grab them before they disappear. I linked all of my favorite Jellycat spring plush, Easter Jellycats, and bestselling stuffed animals so you can shop them easily. These are some of the softest and most loved plush toys for kids and collectors, and they never stay in stock long! @ltk LTKSpringSale LTKKids LTKSeasonal

I was recently invited to tour Spark Academy of Morton , and ever since they opened I’ve been eager to get inside and see the facility for myself.

On Friday I finally had the chance to walk through it, and I have to say, I was impressed.

Spark Academy is not only aesthetically beautiful, but it’s clear the environment was designed with intention. The space reflects a focus on enrichment, curiosity, and academic excellence, not just childcare.

After spending over two decades in early childhood education, I don’t walk into programs looking at paint colors and décor. I look at how the environment supports learning, independence, and exploration for children. Spark clearly understands that philosophy.

It’s refreshing to see a program that values both thoughtful design and meaningful learning experiences for young children.

Parents!!!!! if you’re in the market for a top-tier preschool for your little, this is a place worth looking into. Tell them Ms Krista sent you 😉

Hot take: Mud is educational. 🤎

What looks like messy play is actually serious learning.
When kids play in mud they’re building sensory skills, creativity, problem-solving, and big body movement.

They’re experimenting, cooperating, imagining, and connecting with nature, the way childhood was meant to be.

The best classroom sometimes has no walls… just dirt and curiosity.

As an early childhood educator, I always say that some of the best learning happens when kids get messy, explore nature, and follow their curiosity. Mud play isn’t just fun, it supports sensory development, creativity, problem-solving, and big body movement.

So instead of avoiding the mud… we made a Muddy Days Bucket List!

Things like:
• jumping in muddy puddles
• making mud pies
• building stick forts
• digging for worms
• painting with mud

These simple outdoor moments help children connect with nature and learn through play.

Sometimes the best childhood memories start with “Don’t worry about the mess.”

Play doesn’t stop when the lights go down ✨

We use tap lights, nightlights, and soft glow lamps to build, explore, and completely transform our play space. Changing the lighting invites curiosity, deeper focus, and a whole new way to learn.

In this video, I’m sharing the exact lights we use to create cozy building invitations and hands-on exploration. These simple swaps make a BIG difference in engagement.

Linked everything for you 🤍 Save this for your next play refresh!

Intentional spaces matter.

A rotating display makes materials visible and inviting (hello independence 👏), and a simple tap nightlight creates a peaceful atmosphere for reading and wind-down time.

Small details = big impact in a learning environment.

Light, Color & Little Hands ✨

Transparent blocks + natural wood loose parts are one of my favorite open-ended materials.

On the light table, they:
• Build spatial awareness
• Strengthen early math skills
• Encourage problem-solving
• Support collaboration + language development

But most importantly? They invite curiosity.

There’s no “right way” to use them — just experimenting, stacking, observing, and discovering how light changes everything.

If you’re building a play space at home or in your classroom, start with materials that grow with your child. Open-ended always wins.

Follow me here on LTK for intentional toys, Reggio-inspired finds, and materials that actually support development 🤍
