A Little Goodbye, A Big New Adventure 💛🎒

Some of our little learners are getting ready for their biggest adventure yet… starting preschool! 🌈

It feels like only yesterday we were singing our hello song, exploring sensory trays, painting messy masterpieces and celebrating every little milestone together. ✨

Watching these children grow in confidence, curiosity and independence has been such a privilege. Thank you for letting me be a small part of their journey. 💛

To all of our wonderful little learners – keep exploring, keep creating, keep asking questions and never lose your sparkle. 🌟

Good luck in preschool! I know you'll do amazing things, and you'll always be part of the Lena's Little Learners family. 🫶

With lots of love,
Lena ❤️

🍍🍓 Fruit, fun & a little bit of imagination!
Last week we had a deliciously fruity time at our class! 🍎
We started by sorting different fruits onto their matching trees— because apparently apples don’t grow on orage trees! 🍎🍊🍑
Then we created fun fruit sequences with our cheeky little fruits🍓. A great way to practise patterns, colours and early maths skills while having lots of fun!
🎨 Our creative activity was a juicy pineapple!🍍
The children mixed yellow and orange to create their own unique pineapple colour. Watching two colours magically turn into something new is always a little bit of a wow moment! ✨
To add some texture and dimension, we sprinkled cornmeal over the pineapple — crunchy, bumpy and perfect for little fingers to explore. 🌽
And of course, a pineapple needs a fabulous green crown! 👑🍍 We used crepe paper to create the leaves, adding even more colour, movement and sensory exploration.
🌈 And then came the harvest!
Our sensory activity was all about colourful chickpeas dyed in different colours. The children picked, sorted and collected them as if they were harvesting a magical garden full of different fruits and berries. 🍇🫐🍓
Sometimes all you need is a little imagination! 💭✨
🍎 3 fruity activities to try at home:
1. Fruit sorting game 🍌🍎
Put different fruits or fruit pictures in front of your child and ask them to sort them by colour, size or type.
2. Make your own fruit patterns 🍓
Use toys, buttons, pasta or pieces of fruit to make simple patterns:
🍎🍌🍎🍌 or 🍓🍓🍊🍓🍓🍊
Can your little one continue the pattern?
🍍 3. Fruit shop game
Put some fruit (or pretend fruit) in a basket and let your child be the shopkeeper. You can “buy” three apples, two bananas or one orange. 🍎🍌
You can practise counting, colours, names of fruits and simple phrases like:
“Can I have an apple, please?
“Here you are!
“Thank you!” 😊
And of course… don’t forget to pay! 💰
🍍 Learning, creating, exploring… and making a tiny bit of mess along the way! That’s all part of the fun. 😄

.🦋 We’re Back! And What a Lovely First Session! 💛

It was so lovely to see all our familiar little faces again after the break — everyone was excited to meet up, learn, explore and have fun together! 🥰

Our first theme was BUTTERFLIES! 🦋

We looked at butterflies in all sorts of beautiful colours and admired how different their wings can be. 🌈

🌼 Our little learners collected “pollen” to feed the butterflies, while the children aged 2+ got busy creating beautiful wing patterns using different geometric shapes. 🔺🟠🟦

🎨 For our creative activity, we painted butterfly wings and experimented with different colour combinations to create our own unique butterflies.

And of course… everyone had missed our sensory play! 😄👐 It was wonderful to see those curious little hands back in action!

The best part of coming back was seeing familiar faces again — and also welcoming some lovely new little learners. 💕 We hope they enjoyed discovering how much fun we can have while learning through play!

🏡 Butterfly fun at home

🦋 1. Make a Butterfly
Cut out a simple butterfly shape and let your child decorate each wing with different colours, stickers or shapes.

🌸 2. Feed the Butterflies
Hide small pom-poms or pieces of coloured paper around the room as “pollen”. Let your little butterfly collect them and bring them back to a “flower”.

🔺 3. Butterfly Pattern Challenge
Use blocks, buttons or paper shapes to create patterns on butterfly wings. Can your child make both wings match? Or create a completely different design? 🎨
