What a wonderful morning we've had exploring Owl Babies 🦉
It's was so lovely, and I enjoyed the quiet session we had although the lovely little ones did make up for the those who missed it! 😂
It was a perfect way to start our term. Thank you so much 💓

If you are joining us this week, we are fully immersing ourselves in the outside but inside....if that makes sense at all! Nature is being brought indoors. No need to worry about the rain your little ones can explore with sticks, leaves, pinecones and more all whilst being warm and cosy!

As always walk ins and last minute bookers are welcome although I may have to limit our Wednesday Bromsgrove session as it gets busier due to the size of the hall so please keep your eye out for any updates on our page!

See you:
Tuesday 9.45am Father's barn
Wednesday 9.45am Girlguide center Bromsgrove

🌿 The big water tray is out for today’s session… and this time it’s nature themed! Think… nature soup 🪵🍂🌲

Those of you who come regularly know I always like to include a water activity. Why? Because water play is not only a winner for fun, but it’s also packed with learning opportunities for little ones:

✨ Cause and effect – “what happens when I splash, pour, or stir?”
✨ Motor skills – scooping, pouring, and fishing build those little muscles.
✨ Language development – new words, describing textures, and imaginative play.
✨ Exploration – using natural items encourages curiosity about the world around us.

We’ve got a quiet morning at Belbroughton Church Hall, so if you’ve been thinking about joining but feel a little anxious about starting new classes… today is the perfect day. 💛
We’re super friendly, relaxed, and always welcome new faces.

Oh… and I’ve brought sooo many treats with me – and I definitely can’t eat them all on my own! 🍪🧁

👉 Walk-ins welcome too – come and play, splash, and explore with us.
Book online or pay when you get to us 🥰

✨🌙 Making Moon Sand ✨🌙

We’ve been busy creating some super soft moon sand for our next Read, Play, Create sessions! The texture is amazing – crumbly but soft, mouldable but still falls apart in your hands. Perfect for little ones to scoop, pour, squeeze and squash.

Moon sand gives children the chance to:
👉 Build fine motor skills through scooping and moulding
👉 Explore imaginative play as they create their own shapes and stories
👉 Experience a calming, sensory-rich texture that keeps them engaged

This week’s tray is inspired by one of our favourite stories… Owl Babies 🦉.
❓What do you think the tray will look like?H

Come and join the fun and your let your little one explore all our different activities.

✨ Can’t wait to try this out first with Archie, then in class! ✨

These fun funnels will be perfect for our rice and dry cereal trays – so much pouring, scooping, and discovering cause & effect! 🌾🥣

It’s going to be a great hands-on way to explore, experiment, and have fun with sensory play! 💛💙

🦉 Look whoooo’s getting ready for next week! 🦉

Our little Owl Babies are nearly finished and can’t wait to find their new homes…
✨ Will they perch high up in the trees?
✨ Will the little ones build cosy nests for them?
✨ Or maybe they’ll take a cheeky dip in our nature water tray 🤣

✨📚 Here’s the plan for our 8-week term at Read, Play, Create! ✨

I know so many of you love to see ahead of time which books we’ll be focusing on each week. Some of you like to book the sessions you know your little ones will adore 🥰, and many of you even read the stories at home before class — which I think is just FABULOUS! 💛

🌟 Repetition is SO important for our little learners — it helps them retain language, build confidence, and bring stories to life in play!

💰 Special Discounts Available!
👶 6–12 months: discounted price on all sessions

✨ The full story: why I left teaching ✨

A little while ago, I shared a blog about leaving teaching to start Read, Play, Create. That post was just the beginning.
This new blog goes deeper – into the reality of teaching burnout, juggling motherhood, and the moment I knew I couldn’t go back. It’s honest, raw, and a little emotional, but it’s also about hope, new beginnings, and how Archie inspired me to create something magical. 💛

Read, Play, Create isn’t just a business to me – it’s my livelihood, my way of supporting Archie, and the thing that’s brought me back to life after such a tough chapter. Every class, every story, every little smile means the world. 🌟
