✨ Watch the colours dance! ✨

Our tamariki had so much fun experimenting with milk, food colouring, and dishwashing liquid! 🥛🌈

As they added the dishwashing liquid, they watched with excitement as the colours began to swirl, move, and “dance” across the milk. 💃🕺

A simple but magical science experiment encouraging curiosity, exploration, observation, and wonder. 🔬🌟

We loved hearing the children’s predictions and seeing their excitement as the colours came alive! ❤️💙💛💚

Cloud Play Dough Fun

Our babies enjoyed exploring soft and fluffy cloud play dough! Little hands were busy squishing, squeezing, patting, and poking as they discovered the unique

It was wonderful to see our tamariki fully engaged, exploring at their own pace and enjoying the sensory experience with smiles and laughter.

What a fun way to learn through play! 💙

🌈 Rainbow Shine 🌈

Our outdoor environment was transformed into a beautiful rainbow as we explored beneath our colourful rainbow parachute!

The tamariki had a wonderful time moving, laughing, and discovering the world around them through a rainbow of colours. As the parachute floated above us, it created a magical space for imaginative play, movement, and exploration outdoors.

What a fun and joyful way to learn, connect, and enjoy the fresh air together! 🌈✨
