15.01.2022 Children's development can be quite uneven, especially in the early years. Some kids concentrate on physical tasks first; others are joyous early readers at age... three. Some need to yell and jump endlessly. Others need to observe from a safe place. The whole child needs to be nourished and all aspects emotional, social, physical, and cognitive given a chance to develop at the child's unique pace.

01.01.2022 Cornflour Slime Is it solid or liquid? You can slowly dip your hand into it like liquid but if you squeeze it, it will feel solid. Our nursery children had great fun exploring the cause and effect of this experiment.... To try this at home simply add half a box of cornflour to a bowl, then gradually pour water over it until it forms a custard like consistency. If you want to add colour just mix food dye with your water first. Enjoy getting messy!
