Ali Bali Bees Early Education and Childcare

I've said it before and I'll say it again... magnetic tiles are one of our favourite resources!

We might have only had a light smattering (love that word 🤓) but the busy bees made the most of the snow, playing in the mud kitchen and frozen water table.

The busy bees loved playing outside with the ice so much that we brought a little icy invitation to play indoors! More opportunity to explore early science concepts of freezing and melting, fine motor skills and language development.

The easiest tuff tray yet! Make the most of the freezing temperatures - fill your tuff tray with water the night before & you're all set for some freezing fun and exploration in the morning! Add some watercolour paints and simple tools like sweeping brushes, wrap up warm & enjoy!

Discovering the magic of magnetism!

These magnetic animals by have been a great addition to our resources! Large, easy-grip pieces for little hands to explore, we have been learning about the push and pull of magnets, as well as naming the animals and colours and having lots of fun mixing them up to create our own funny animals!

Throwback to our favourite time of year...

I really need to get better at posting 🙈 But hey, life!

🍂🍁The best time of year🍁🍂

Gathering our own natural loose parts for play means we can continue to explore even when the autumn weather turns nasty!

There are so many opportunities to learn using all of our senses at this time of year - both outdoors & indoors...

Colours, textures, smells - all new experiences for our littlest bees, and a great chance for language development, creativity and new knowledge and understanding for our older ones!

🍂🍁We love autumn 🍁🍂
