08.01.2022 Water play - its a time to cool off in warmer weather, a time to splash and have plenty of fun. But did you know that water play has other benefits too? Your little one can explore their imagination through the use of sea animals. They can excite their senses through gliding their fingers through the water. Or they could even experiment with cause and effect as they add sand to the tub. The possibilities are endless! And that's why it remains a huge part of our outdo...or learning environments.

01.01.2022 Clay is one of our favourite creative mediums here at Bluebird Murrumbeena. It provides an opportunity for children to bring their ideas to life and exercise those important fine motor skills. A lot of the time we choose to use clay instead of playdough as it provides a more challenging experiences for the children; building on dispositions for learning such as persistence, resilience and curiosity.
