I took the children to a local florists today so they could choose and pay for their own flower. They were all so happy with them and took great care of them.

 

 

 

 

Today the children got to play with  and explore all sorts of sensory tubes. They were filled with all sorts of things like glitter, feathers, bells, coloured stones etc.
They also made some more Easter cards. They got very carried away with the stickers but had a great time.

 

Today we also made some rice krispie cakes. The children got to put all the ingredients into the pot and then mix it all together. I had rice crispies all over the place but they had a great time none the less.

 

Today the children got to play, feel and explore goo. It was a big green blob and their faces were a picture when they touched it for the first time. Some of them weren’t to sure of it to start with but their curiosity grew the more they saw it move in my hand. Most of them grew to like it.

Today the children got to draw on the patio slabs using chalk. They chose the colours they wanted and thought it was great. They were more enthusiastic and excited about drawing today than normal. One of them couldn’t stop giggling while he was drawing.

 

Today we also went back to the pond to see if any of the frog spawn had turned into tadepoles. There were a few but they were very small. It was pleasing to see that two ducks had moved in and appeared to be quite relaxed around the children.

 

Today the children let loose with the poster paints creating their own masterpieces. The weather was so nice that they got to do it outside, which was nice.

I emptied the ball basket onto the activity tray today. The balls are all different shapes and textures and the children got to explore them all. They loved lying in the middle of the balls and pushing them around their bodies.

Today we started getting ready for easter. The children each painted a cardboard egg and then  made little chicks to put inside. Once they had made the egg and chick I then stuck them to the card. They looked great when they were finished.

We played a game today were the children used their tactile skills to identify objects under a cloth. They got to see a lot of objects on the floor, then I took them away and put one object under the cloth. They then tried to identify the object by touch alone. They had great fun and did really well.
