Giggles Childminding

👦❤️ Happy 💐 Father's Day!

Three cheers for my daddy,
Hip, hip, hooray!
Like a Triceratops
You brighten my day!
With a stomp and a roar,
I just want to say:
Have a "dino-mite"
Father’s Day!

🧠 Small Lines, Big Brain Power! ✏️✨

This dot-grid activity is a simple, high-impact task that aligns perfectly with our EYFS Gigglers.

By copying the patterns, they boost Physical Development through fine motor ✏️ control and enhance Mathematics skills by exploring spatial awareness and grid patterns.

It's the perfect addition to our continuous provision of independent morning table setups to build concentration and early writing confidence.

Good bye Spring 🌱

Tiny ✋hands in rich brown soil,
Spring time fun without the toil!
Hunting snails 🐌beneath the green,
Biggest shells they’ve ever seen.

Watering the fragrant herbs 🌿,
Splashing puddles on the curbs.
Scooping piles of fallen leaves,
Wind that whispers through the trees.

Blossoms blooming, bright and new, Waking bugs 🐛 in morning dew.
Learning secrets nature shares,
Spring time joy, see you again next year!

🔍 Tiny Animals, Big Discoveries! 🕵️‍♂️

Watch our little explorers dive into this multi-sensory science adventure! 🌾✨

1️⃣ The Search: Digging deep through lentils to find hidden miniature animals.
2️⃣ The Catch: Using fine-motor skills to clip up each creature.
3️⃣ The Zoom: Inspecting every detail under the microscope.
4️⃣ The Close-Up: Getting a second look with a magnifying glass.

This activity builds hand-eye coordination, strengthens finger muscles, and sparks early scientific curiosity! 🧠💪

"From wiggles to wings! 🦋 Today we’re learning how tiny eggs turn into hungry caterpillars and then into beautiful butterflies."

🌱🌏
A great opportunity to show our little Gigglers - that just like caterpillars, 🐛they have the power to grow and do amazing things 🌟

Magic at First Sight: The Power of the Invitation ✨

The most beautiful thing about an Invitation to Play isn't the materials themselves—it’s the message they send to the child.

When we take the time to set the stage before the children arrive, we are telling them: "You were on my mind before you even walked through the door."

Getting creative with the tiniest artists! 🎨 ⛰️

Turning our garden walk into a masterpiece with Rock Painting.

This is one of our favorite low-prep activities because it’s all about the process—from hunting for the perfect smooth stone to the sensory fun of washing them in a bucket of bubbles! 🧼✨
It’s more than just a mess; it’s a great way for little hands ✋ to practice fine motor skills and explore bright new textures.

Whether they’re painting ladybugs or just some very enthusiastic "abstract" rainbows, these little treasures are pure joy 😊

A spontaneous daisy 🌼 making activity to finish our week 🌟

🎶 daisies are little stars with golden hearts that dance in the meadows 🎼
