What’s your favorite children’s tv show from your childhood?

Happy National Siblings Day, we are lucky to look after so many siblings.

So if you have a brother, sister, step siblings, or raised together. Drop them a text, video call to say hey!

Tuff trays or tuff spots are fantastic way to offer play in a different way for children.

This type of play helps encourage children to turn take or share the resources in the tray, they are introduced to a variety of materials, textures and most importantly experiences.

One thing is guaranteed, within 5 minutes this tray does not look the same, and this is a good thing.
It means the children have explored, they have touched, smelt, played with and processing what they are playing with.

Here are a few we have done over the past few weeks indoors or outdoors.

Happy Easter, hope you all have a great day.
