🫧 Foam Fun in Creche! 🫧

Our little ones had so much fun exploring foam play today! 🤍 They loved getting their hands stuck in, squishing, scooping and discovering the different textures.

Foam play is a wonderful sensory activity that encourages curiosity, creativity and fine motor development, all while having lots of messy fun! 🥰✨

What a fun-filled day in our Creche room! 🫧💦

Our Preschool Senior children have been working hard on developing their early writing skills! 🌟 They are learning how to hold a pencil correctly, practise their pencil control and begin writing their own names. 📝

It’s wonderful to see their confidence grow as they recognise and write the letters in their names. These little steps are helping to build the skills they will need as they get ready for primary school. 💛✨

Working on our fine motor skills pouring , squeezing, stirring, and squirting strengthen fine motor skills and build the pincer grip needed for writing. Lifting heavy buckets or manipulating large sponges builds gross motor muscles.
This activity allows children to work on language& Social Skills: Group play encourages sharing space, taking turns, and learning descriptive vocabulary.🗣️❤️
