Today at the setting we made biscuit selection boxes to celebrate Mother’s Day 💐. The children enjoyed decorating their boxes using different craft resources and then chose which biscuits they would like to add inside. We also glued a special drawing inside the box as a little surprise for them to enjoy together at home with their mums 😍.

Later in the day we explored a fun sensory art activity using zip-lock bags and paint 🎨. The children used a plastic hammer and a few squirts of different coloured paints to move the paint around. It was lovely to watch the colours mix and blend together while discovering all the different shades we could create!

As it’s Friday, I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. See you all next week! Now I’m off to do a deep clean of the setting ready for another busy week 🤩😁.

Yesterday the children have decorated flower pots for flowers they have planted as a special Mother’s Day gift. They enjoyed choosing colours and stickers for it.

Later we played outside with bubbles in the tuff tray. Each child chose a food dye colour to make colourful foam. They spent over an hour mixing, splashing and exploring the bubbles with different objects and their hands, enjoying the different textures and using their imagination.

Today we explored painting on different materials such as foil and a cardboard box instead of paper. The children really enjoyed trying something different and were very engaged in the activity. It was interesting to see how the paint moved on the foil and soaked into the cardboard.

Following this activity, we made Mother’s Day cards using pieces of cardboard boxes and decorated them with real flowers and leaves added Glitter Glue for sparkly effect . The children loved exploring the natural materials while creating something special for our Special mummies This week is all about them , if you are mum yourself You doing good job ! Happy Mothers Days to every single mama , we hope you get all the flowers you deserve on this special day 🌼🤩

We had lots of fun learning and exploring together — the photos show how it started and how it ended! ✨

Friday we enjoyed a dinosaur skeleton digging activity🦖
We searched for dinosaur skeleton pieces, which turn into so much fun, From pieces that fallen apart we made colourful rocks this activity turned into fun messy play while exploring the colours, textures and shapes of the rocks and bones. This supported curiosity, imagination and fine motor skills through hands-on exploration.✨🦋

In my childminder setting I use toy rotation and keep resources visible, clearly labelled , on show and most important to be within the children’s reach to support their learning and independence.

You might ask why ?
Rotating toys helps keep the children interested and engaged without overwhelming them. Having toys on display allows them to choose what they would like to play with, encouraging decision-making and confidence 🦋

A clean and calm setting supports children’s safety, health, and wellbeing. It helps them feel secure and relaxed, improves concentration, and encourages independent play and learning ✨
