24.01.2022 Activities you can do at home:- 1. Soapy Slippery Slime You don't need to source a big list of materials and follow complicated directions to make non-toxic Easy Slime. Safe to use with baby and toddler. What you will need..... 3 cups lux flakes (or any pure soap grated) Around 2.5 litres of warm to hot water, you may need more or less Glitter if you want to make sparkly slime. Food colouring if you want to make coloured soap slime. Whisks or egg beaters to mix it together and froth up Large tub or bucket for mixing What to do next Add lux flakes (or grated soap bars) to your bucket. If you plan to use the container you mix in as a sensory play tray then I suggest using a shallower tub so more children can access the slime at once the water trough works well. A large shallow tray placed flat on the grass or floor works well for the younger children especially if not confident standing and walking yet. When you have your soap in the bucket or tub you want to use carefully add the warm water (use only warm if doing this part with the children). Mix together using the whisks or beater and then I like to leave overnight or at least for a few hours as the mix will go beautifully thick and this way you can tell if you need to add more water or more flakes to get the consistency you desire. Add food colouring if you want at this stage or just keep white. Because it is a soap base it washes off easily when it is time to clean up and will keep in a covered container for quite a while if you keep it relatively free of other matter! Food dye will wash out of clothes easily. See more

02.01.2022 Imagine yourself at 2 years old. You are walking, maybe running. Everything is new and exciting. Bright colours surround you. You scan the room and spot that to...y that you want on the chest of drawers in your beautiful nursery. No one’s around, so you wander over to see if you can grab it. What a clever boy your Mum and Dad will think you are. Your little fingers stretch but it is just that tiny bit out of reach, even on tiptoes. You wonder If you put your foot on top of the draw ledge, maybe, just maybe, you can reach it The next few seconds could be fatal.

01.01.2022 Today in our winter program we did some weather watching. Perfect conditions for this, a typical Melbourne day with rain, sunshine, and wind. The children often enjoy watching out the window, observing the trees blow in the wind, rain trickle down the windows and birds wander around the yard. This experience encourages children to observe the weather and recognize changes in weather conditions. It also promotes language development as they engage with their peers and educato...rs around them. Remote/ Home learning. Sit by a window or venture outside and talk about what you can see, smell, and hear with your child. Encourage them to use their voice and experiment with language, while role modelling words to them.
