"All babies and young children cry. Some cry more than others, and some cry more in particular situations, like settling into a childcare setting. Each child is different and will experience new situations differently, but it is fair to say that the transition to childcare is a major event in their lives. Some will have never been with anyone other than their parents or carers, some will have rarely left their home, and some will have never been in a large group..."

Working parents have the right to request furlough if their childs school or childcare provision closes.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Furlough - Working Families This page contains FAQs about furlough, redundancy and the Job Retention Scheme.

On these very strange times, I saw this shared and thought what a lovely idea.

My local ceramic shop posted this x thought some might like to share with their parents to do x Today we finished our salt dough family piece 🥰

Ingredients for this size -

500g of plain flour

250g salt

250mls of water (add slightly more water if necessary)

Bake in oven on lowest heat for 3 hours or until rock hard (took about 4 hours for ours)

Thank you to everyone who is liking and sharing the post, it is a lovely family keepsake and i encourage everyone to have a go of you have the means to do so! if you dont have paints then make it and paint it at a later date!

Just a few other questions answered...

I used acrylic paints (although you can use whatever you have 😊) and you paint it after it has been in the oven

Check the bottom is rock solid before you take it out and make sure you have it on the ovens lowest heat or it will burn instead.
