Apologies for the accidentally rude shapes of our cloud castle.  ahem.
We never outgrow sensory play!
Babies, preschoolers, little kids… they love it!

I try to keep it going for my kids, 6 and 10.
The older kid cooks in the kitchen, the younger needs bigger-kid ideas, with some narrative.  So.

We got dad’s shaving cream, which smells great and feels…smushy.
I made some castle turrets (!!) with shaving cream; we added fairies. It was as good for me as it was for her!

We added friends of different sizes, and ..
we put them to bed!
If you follow Funnermother on Facebook or know me in person, you know about my legendary insomnia.

Sleeping on a cloud has become one of my go-to images for trying to sleep.
Think about sleeping on a puffy cloud, look at her laying there, smell her all wrapped up in yum.

Girlfriends came over, they had a slumber party.
Next time you can’t sleep, remember the fairy cloud castle slumber party.
You’ll be glad you did!
