We love Bubbles 🫧

Spatial awareness and directionality:

The children are developing an awareness of how their body can move in space and understanding directional concepts develops alongside body awareness. Bubble play can encourage the understanding of concepts such as; up, down, over, under, in front, behind, next to, above and below.

Messy play with cornflakes and Diggers,

Engaging in small world play is so important for children. Not only does it nurture their imagination, it also enables them to explore new materials, act out scenarios from real life, build language, practice social skills and gain an understanding of the world around them.

A nice winter walk to see what we can see 👀

*Building Dens*

Letting their imagination run wild as they build mighty castle, zooming space shuttles and fearsome pirate ships 😊the children are also learning to sharing and working together and helping each other.
