25.01.2022 Role Playing is an effective way for children to make sense of the world around them. Children learn to empathise with others; taking part in a role play activity would usually mean that you are taking on the role of character which will teach children about the empathy and understanding of different perspectives.

24.01.2022 Blowing bubbles naturally engages toddlers in experimentation and play with purpose, allowing the fun and excitement to guide their curiosity and learning.

24.01.2022 A great big thank you to U C Dental Upper Coomera for your support in helping Ducklings Day Care promote the importance of toddlers having a healthy dental routine.

23.01.2022 This is my most widely shared post. And rightly so, it’s an important one. These are prewriting patterns, with the average (not prescribed) age at which child...ren are developmentally ready to achieve these patterns listed below them in years and months. Being able to process visual information and produce a movement in response (e.g. copying these prewriting patterns or letter formations), is known as visual motor integration. Note that an X is not typically achieved until 4 years 11 months, and a triangle at 5 years 3 months. If a child can’t form these basic shapes...then they probably won’t be able to form letters. It is quite concerning then that there are 3 year 7 month olds starting formal schooling, where they’re expected to write. Not only are their visual motor integration skills not developed enough, their hands are also physically under-developed. In addition, recognising letters, understanding phonics and beginning to read are all needed in order for a child to write meaningfully, skills which children starting kindy typically don’t have. We also know that when a child learns something that doesn’t hold meaning, it‘s unlikely to stick. So if you have a 3-4 year old who spontaneously asks or attempts to write letters, that’s great; otherwise, there is no need to initiate or worry about this. Unfortunately there is a misconception, particularly with the way that the current curriculum stands, that earlier is better. Earlier is not always better.

22.01.2022 Why grow sunflowers? There are many benefits to growing these beautiful blooms including their cut flowers and free edible seeds. They also attract pest-patrolling birds and bees to improve your harvest, and even help detox contaminated soil. ... Sunflowers are called 'tournesol' in French (meaning 'turns with the sun').

16.01.2022 Why do I use Story Stones at Ducklings? Story stones are probably one of the most well-known resources for encouraging children to become independent story-tellers.

15.01.2022 Story stones are great teaching tools for developing children's communication skills, promoting their language skills and encouraging their imagination and creativity.

15.01.2022 Planned physical activity. This is so important for toddlers. One very important reason is because it improves children’s co ordination, balance, posture and flexibility.

14.01.2022 Playing outside gives your child the chance to explore the natural environment and have adventures. They can play games, test their physical limits, express themselves and build self-confidence. Outdoor play can also mean more mess and more mess often means more fun!
