Mother Hubbard Day Care

The children extracted the juice from the citrus fruit to initiate a chemical reaction, thereby revealing the miniature dinosaur figures contained within the bath bomb eggs.

We meticulously traced each child's hands and forearms, subsequently proceeding with the adhesive application phase. A selection of felt hearts, varying in size and colour, was provided to the children. This activity facilitated their recognition of different colors and encouraged the use of comparative language such as "big/small," "more/most," and "top/bottom."" The children expressed considerable enthusiasm regarding the use of their own hands and arms to form the tree trunk, often exclaiming."Mine!"

Cornflour, coloured water, and ice were super popular.

We employed manual graters and beaters to make bubbles. The children were actively engaged at this workstation, utilizing multiple utensils. This activity promoted the development of both fine and gross motor skills, encouraged shared space and utensil usage, and fostered positive peer interaction, as evidenced by comments such as, "Wow, you made so many bubbles," and "You're good at making bubbles."

Using cooked rice was a new experience for some. The children were able to shape and mould it.

The children were keen to participate in this activity. Scooping and moulding the ice with the utensils provided. Later, they added utensils from the mud kitchen. The children were interacting with each other, sharing utensils and space. Displaying excitement when showing their friends what they made. Describing the ice as snow ❄️ and cold. 🥶

Offering a selection of fresh fruits for morning tea allows the children to sample both familiar and new fruits.
