✨ The magic has begun! 🧚🏻‍♀️🌿

We’ve been brainstorming ideas with our tamariki and are officaly working on our fairy houses for our local Ōpāwaho River! 🌳✨

We can’t wait to see the magic come to life… but I wonder, can you figure out which fairy house we’re creating first? 👀

🎨 Pom-Pom Matching Fun! 🎨

We had lots of fun with a simple activity that supported colour recognition, matching and fine motor skills! 🌈

The children were given a piece of paper with coloured pom-poms pictured on it. Using tongs, they carefully picked up the real pom-poms and matched them to the corresponding colours on the paper. 🔴🟡🔵🟢

This activity is perfect for early learning, as it encourages children to develop:
✨ Fine motor skills and hand strength
✨ Hand-eye coordination
✨ Colour recognition and matching
✨ Concentration and problem-solving
✨ Patience and perseverance
✨ Confidence and independence

Using tongs also helps strengthen the small muscles in little hands, supporting the development of skills needed for everyday tasks such as drawing, writing, cutting and using utensils. ✏️✂️

A simple activity with lots of learning opportunities! 💕

A little floral fun in the water! 🌸🍋✨

We’ve been exploring water play with beautiful flowers that have fallen off the tree, fresh lemon slices from our own garden and some of our favourite little tea pots, cups and treasures. So simple, so inviting, and a lovely way to encourage pouring, scooping, splashing and lots of imaginative play! 💛
