When children dress up it encourages them to use their imagination and to think more. Dressing up gives children the opportunity to be creative. It allows your child to explore their imagination in a fun way. It can spark creativity, when they think of what they want to dress up as and what they need to wear to look like that character, animal or a balleria.
Here some of the fun dressing up times we've had at Tadpoles over the past year or so.

Our Tadpoles out enjoying the little bit of sunshine we have today.

We have some lovely art work up on our walls at all times which is updated regularly. All of which is created by children that attend Tadpoles.
We are proud to say that we love creative and messy play here at Tadpoles.
So if you don't like messy at home, you know your child will be getting the benefits of it here with us. They explore their senses and curiosity daily through a variety of playing and learning.
