💇‍♀️✂️ Awa Iti Hairdressers!

Our tamariki have been enjoying exploring hairdressing through their play! 💕

This type of play encourages imagination, communication, confidence and connection as our little ones copy the familiar experiences they see around them.

🔧 We love Mobilo!💛

Mobilo is such a great way for our tamariki to learn through play. As they build and create, they are developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, creativity and concentration.

It also encourages sharing, communication, teamwork and imaginative play as children create together.

We love seeing where their ideas take them! ✨

🌼💛 Happy Daffodil Day from us to you! 💛🌼

Our tamariki and kaiako dressed in yellow and came together to share their well wishes, kindness and support for Daffodil Day. 🌼✨

We did have a few little microphone technical difficulties along the way 😂🎤, but we couldn’t let these gorgeous moments go to waste! So we’ve kept the videos so you can enjoy seeing our cute little friends dressed up and spreading some sunshine. 💛

A little kindness can make a big difference. 🌼💛

There’s no such thing as bad weather… only inappropriate clothing!

We love seeing our tamariki embrace every kind of weather and make the most of the opportunities it brings! Today, one of our little friends was more than ready to get outside and enjoy the wet weather in her awesome dinosaur rain jacket.

Rainy days are perfect for splashing, exploring, jumping in puddles and experiencing the world in a whole different way!

A little rain certainly won’t stop the fun at Busy Bees Stoke!

Here are a few photos of our little adventurer embracing the wet weather! ☔️🦖

There’s something so special about watching little minds at work.

Through drawing and creating, tamariki are able to express their ideas, develop their imagination, strengthen their fine motor skills and build confidence in their own unique abilities. Sometimes all it takes is a piece of paper, some pencils and the freedom to create 💛

The magic of books!

Tamariki are naturally drawn to books, and they are such a wonderful way to support early literacy and language development. Through reading together, children build their vocabulary, listening skills, imagination, comprehension and a love for stories and learning.

Books also create beautiful opportunities for connection, conversation and shared moments between kaiako and tamariki.

Here are some of the books we’ve been really enjoying at the moment!
Which ones are your tamariki loving at home?

Messy play is so much more than making a mess!

From cornflour gloop to sensory exploration, our tamariki are building creativity, problem-solving, fine motor skills, and confidence as they mix, pour, squish, and discover. The best learning often happens when little hands get messy! 💛🫶
