25.01.2022 Over the past few weeks our children have been exploring "The Bear Hunt" together. This journey has taken us through re-enacting the story, creating our own bear hunts and now to creating our themed sensory bottles to mirror the story.

15.01.2022 There are many benefits of children playing with playdough including developing fine motor skills, creativity, vocabulary, literacy and numeracy and much more. Playdough also: Motivates children to explore its sensory qualities while engaging in meaningful play opportunities. Strengthens small fingers, hands and wrists through fine motor exploration. Builds children's imagination as they play with it they explore the 100 languages. ... Developing self-esteem - no right or wrong to play It's calming and helps children relieve stress through manipulation. Involving them in making the dough and discussing things like colour and texture, and what happens when liquids are added provides concepts of early mathematics and science. At Nido Banksia Grove playdough is apart of our daily rituals as it helps build on the above foundations The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences ~ Loris Malaguzzi
