An Easter play provocation incorporating colour matching, sensory, fine motor and cognitive skills in the preschool rooms, based on children's strong interest in Easter.

World Wildlife Day play provocations

Lunar New Year, we have been busy at Bottleforest enjoying some Lunar New Year celebrations. Both Educator Eva and Educator Queenie celebrate Lunar New Year and we have been very blessed to share in the fun with them.
We also enjoyed a delightful lunch of fried rice, spring rolls and some orange on the side (to support our iron absorption)

Love is in the air at Bottleforest

The Cuddlepies have been showing a particular introduction in lady bugs recently - Educator Simone set up this craft provocation to invite the children to create a lady bug.
