DIY wipe clean baubles, perfect for mark making.

And at this time of year there's plenty of cardboard lying around.

Thank you for sharing PACEY ❤

Hope everyone has enjoyed the Jubilee xx

Jubilee activities

We've been seeing lots of the Union Jack so thought we'd have a go ourselves outside.

The screen was marked out with masking tape and the boys found all the triangles that needed to be blue and then the cross, red. However it wasn't long before they remembered that red and blue made purple. When all was covered we waited for it to dry while we cleaned ourselves up. Then we had to pick at the tape and pull it off.
Was it better before or after? We all liked both versions. Later I pinched an idea from and got them to clean it up using sponges, brushes and squeegee (I've just Googled it to see if it's a real word)

Do you work in a school, nursery or childminders? We've produced two posters giving advice on avoiding choking hazards which can be displayed where food is prepared and served to young children.

We went to feed the ducks this morning, it was a little bit cold to start with, but the sun soon came out and we enjoyed a play in the park.

Hop little bunny hop hop hop... who's hiding from the fox.
We made rabbit ears
We danced to hop little bunny and changed the lyrics to eat, dig.
We played a new game pretending to be rabbits.

Easter egg decorations begin

While looking for signs of Spring we gathered some natural resources to use with our play dough to make patterns in our egg shaped decorations.
