Have you heard of the amazing activity that is Rice Play? π
You can fill up a messy play tray or a washing-up bowl with uncooked rice, then add spoons, bowls, cups, balls and other toys to the mix. It's a great way to let your kids have some fun indoors with no mess! Rice is so much easier to clean up than sand so it's a win-win all around.
Have you ever given Rice Play a try? Let us know in the comments!

Who loves pizza? π
Here's a fun and delicious pizza recipe that parents can cook with their children! Here's a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
450g of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup of pizza sauce
2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings of your choice (e.g. sliced mushrooms, chopped onions, sliced bell peppers, pepperoni, cooked sausage, etc.)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circle (or rectangle) shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the pizza dough to a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the pizza sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce.
Add your desired toppings.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Cooking pizza with children is a great way to spend time together, and they will love being able to choose the toppings and help assemble the pizza. Enjoy! β€οΈ

A child's growth benefits from sensory play since it enables them to explore and learn about their surroundings through their senses. The following are some of the main advantages of sensory play:
π Develops cognitive skills: Sensory play helps children to develop cognitive skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. They learn to make connections between different sensory experiences and develop their ability to reason and make sense of the world.
π Enhances motor skills: Sensory play encourages children to engage in physical activities such as pouring, scooping, and manipulating objects. These activities help to develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and overall physical dexterity.
πPromotes language development: Sensory play provides children with opportunities to use and learn new words, as they describe the textures, smells, and colours of the materials they are exploring.
