Yellow Door Education

How inviting does this spring provocation look? By From the Nest - Childminding Services 🍃🤗💛

Such a wonderful dough station by CFH Childcare - Childminding by Chloe - lots to explore and create with! 🍃💛

May playdough station has landed 🐛🦋

This set up is all about minibeasts, colour, texture and lots of lovely little hands getting busy.

The children can roll, squash, press, stamp, cut, build, notice and explore in their own way, with books, loose parts, mirrors, tools and natural resources all there to support curiosity and language.

This links beautifully with our May Curriculum from The Early Years Edit, where we’re exploring minibeasts, flowers and the natural world through simple, revisitable invitations to play.

No pressure. No overcomplicated set ups. Just calm, purposeful provision that children can return to, adapt and make their own.

And of course, it wouldn't be complete without our trusty Yellow Door Education resources.

This week we are celebrating the wonderful life and work of Sir David Attenborough as he celebrates his 100th Birthday 🌍🍃🦋

Thank you, Sir David, for inspiring generations to care for our planet and all the amazing creatures who live on it 💚

Early Years Farm Footprint Activity – Sensory Dough Play for Preschoolers 🐄🐑🐖

There are always plenty of animals to spot down on the farm, but sometimes little ones need to follow the footprints to find them! Using play dough and the farm footprints, children can press, stamp and explore different animal tracks while building fine motor skills, curiosity and early investigation skills. Perfect for early years sensory play and farm topic activities. 🌾

We’re down on the farm with Little House on the Green Childcare how wonderful and inviting is this farm-themed tray! 💛

We love this idea 🌊

🐞🌿 Bug hunting in the woods!

We took Who’s Hiding? Garden Bugs from out to our woods today, where it fitted perfectly alongside our real‑life bug hunting activity.

The children loved searching, matching, and talking about the different bugs they could find, making wonderful links between the resources and the natural world around them.

A brilliant way to support curiosity, language, and observation skills through hands‑on exploration 🍃
