♻️ Today's special guest? The one, the only... RECYCLE MAN! ♻️

The children had the opportunity to learn about what happens to our rubbish, where recycling goes, and how we can all help keep our environment clean. There was plenty of excitement, lots of questions, and a whole lot of future eco-Superheroes in the making!

Making Pasta

Our children mixed, kneaded, harvested fresh herbs from the garden, and used a pasta machine to create their very own homemade pasta. A wonderful morning of hands-on learning, curiosity, and sensory exploration!

Invitations for play

Our loose parts and playdough invitations spark curiosity, creativity, and wonder. Children are empowered to explore, investigate, and create in their own unique ways, building confidence, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning through play.

At Edu-Play we love creating environments that spark wonder, encourage questions, and inspire children to discover, create, and learn through play. After all, some of the best learning happens when children are simply following their curiosity!

Bush Kinder is Back for Term 3!

Our Bush Kinder program with Lou is all about adventure, discovery, nature and connection!

Experiences like these help foster curiosity, confidence, creativity and a love of the natural world.

Spontaneous play

What looked like a simple activity quickly became a moment of discovery. Children were making predictions, testing their ideas, observing changes, and sharing their thinking with one another.

Sometimes the most meaningful learning comes from the simplest experiences

Our Bunjil Learning Journey

Over the past few weeks, we have explored the significance of Bunjil and expressed our learning through a variety of ways, helping to build children's understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal culture.

Our children are especially proud of their clay creations, which were carefully crafted and revisited over time. This process encouraged creativity, patience, persistence, and attention to detail, allowing each child to develop and refine their work.

Community Garden

We understand the importance of sustainability and caring for country, and that's why we're dedicated to nurturing our community garden.

Our children have been busy planting seeds, learning about plant life cycles, and exploring the various ways we can utilize the plants once they've been harvested.

Our Edu-Play grown Rosemary is ready to be shared with our families!

Why do we love slime at Edu-Play?

As children squeeze, stretch, pinch, and mould slime, they're strengthening the small muscles in their hands, developing sensory awareness, and building confidence through open-ended exploration.

Today's slime exploration was filled with curiosity, conversation, concentration and plenty of wonderful learning moments! 💚
