✨💕Arty Cake Pots for our Mummies this week. You’re all FABULOUS and I hope you feel ALL the loves on Mothers Day 💕✨

❄️ From actual snowflakes to serious sunshine today ☀️

🥞Mr Wolf had neighbours who forgot who they were dealing with when they rudely asked for his pancakes. We decided to make our own pretend pancakes! And tomorrow guess what’s for snack! 🥞

✨☀️A check-in day for our Focus Tree to see what changes there have been. And had to venture to the play park as the sunshine was just delightful! New paint pens and a paper tablecloth are always a hit here too ☀️✨

With it being Children’s Mental Health week and the run up to Valentine’s Day, we are going to talk about feelings, and look for more signs of spring. We hope to find some colourful things on our woodland walk to put in the nature kaleidoscope.

A little chestnut that had a sprout is growing leaves! Me and the little mindees planted it. Oh I do hope it makes it to a chestnut tree! 🌱 ✨

We have loved the light and ice this morning. Trying out freezing pretty things in water, so will see in the morning!
Colours shapes and favourite things are our toys this afternoon.

I have a feeling that if it will fit in that slot, it will be posted today!
We also have a sleepy bear family hibernating.

🍋 Smells Zingy! 🍃

We planted a chestnut we found sprouting at Clumber Park. 🌱 Hope it grows! The smell of the water tray was fresh with the fruit and herbs. And we found a sweet song-time at the library! It was SO much fun we are going again.

Our (two day) week in pictures.

Excited to be welcoming back those smiley little faces tomorrow! Our first adventure will be to find a Focus Tree as we launch into our year with Hygge in the Early Years at https://www.facebook.com/KSEYconsultancy/

✨ 🎉 How special to be able to share fun and festive play with our friends and have a Christmas party 🎉 ✨

Thanks to all at Becca's House Childminding Services for sharing times in a great year of company and fun for all our children.

🦌 🎅🏼 Merry Christmas 🎅🏼 🦌

Snowy invitation to play, and we accidentally made a wobbly mirror wall! That was hilarious! The best bits aren’t always planned.

🎅🏼 Have you asked Alexa how many days until Christmas? We like Santa’s update. And we like these other festive things too! 🎄

Jammy Monsters everywhere!

🍎 🐦 We visited Cobbs Bird Hide to get bird seed for making bird feeders for our garden.
We will definitely be back 🐦 🍏

🥖 🍞 We made bread! 🍞 🥖

🍁 Conkers yesterday, and sticks today! We are enjoying all the autumn treasures! 🍁

🍂 🍁 Magic wands with natural confetti 🍁 🍂
We had a great time choosing bright colours gathering leaves in our baskets to snip and glue to wands.

🐜 🐞 Spiders and bugs and squillions of legs! 🕷 🐞

🍏 🍎 Apples in baskets has been a little bit of our day today 🍎 🍏

A parent showed me how much our little gang of playmates resembled that fab New York Skyscraper image. How arty are we! 📷

🌪 A whirlwind of activity this week 🌪

What a busy day! Much craft! 🎨 ✂️ and bramble picking near the park 🛝 That’s keeping little ones active

Hiding from the heat, with
50 Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day 🐥 🐥 🐥

Cutest dinosaur stomp ever! 🦖 🦕

🙊 Today was mainly about monkeys jumping on a bed, and squirrels and children jumping in the woods. 🐿

☀️ 🪴 Today we had friends over to play in the garden 🪴 ☀️

It’s difficult to see the difference between these and our actual Queen Elizabeth.

I just love them!

Hmm… playdough or planting?
Planting won already with this little one 🌱

🌱 Planting up our wellies was great fun. We talked about where to put them and if they’d like warm, windy or cool place to grow 🌱
