Nature collage



Make a Nature collage
Children love to explore nature and the world around them. Take a walk outside; explore nature with your child. Talk about what animals eat and where the animals live. Explore the leaves changing colours. Collect interesting looking items from outside. They will choose what items are interesting to them. Use your collected items to create a interesting  nature collage.

Bubble pictures



Bubble pictures:
Pour about ¼ cup of dishwashing liquid into a container such as a clean, empty butter container. Add small amounts of water and tempera paint until the color is intense. Place a drinking straw into the pain mixture and blow carefully until the bubbles start to overflow. Gently place a piece of paper over the bubbles, then lift carefully. The broken bubbles leave a pretty design on the paper.

outdoor activities


Playing outdoors is a form of excercise that promotes well being and wholesome physical development. Children love to play outdoors; it allows them to explore the environment, develop muscle strength and co-ordination and improves self-confidence.
Playing actively outdoors also increases flexibility and fine and gross motor skills. it also helps children to socialize in the playground with other children that are not in their classroom. Outdoors, children can use their outdoor voices and release a lot of energy while being loud and running, jumping, climbing, sliding etc.
