Little Doves Under 5s Playgroup - Waterhouses

31/12/2025

As we say Thank You and goodbye to 2025 , here are a few moments of the last few weeks.
We celebrated Children in Need with our Pudsey Bear theme and then the exciting run up to Christmas.
With snow balls and diggers on the mat , marshmallow snow and trucks in the messy tray , wreath making , biscuit decorating and matching the coloured chocolate Santa sticks.
We found the Santa biscuits hiding in the yummy custard and decorated the Velcro trees. December messy fun was enjoyed by everyone.
We finished by making reindeer food and had a visit from Santa himself. 🎅
We hope that you have had a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and we wish you all a very happy , healthy New Year !
We will see you all back for more fun on Monday 12th January
We may even get some real snow ⛄️

Here comes the rain as we start our summer holidays , but we ended our first year in the sunshine with a teddy bear theme .
We decorated wooden bears , sorted jelly bears into colours in the messy play tray. We dressed teddies and even ate teddy shaped toast and crisps for our snack . We added raisin eyes to our teddy toast to make it more fun !
We went on a Bear hunt and enjoyed bubble play and parachute fun too.
On behalf of myself and Ange , we would like to thank you all for your support this year since taking on Little Doves .
Whether you donated toys or craft items to us , handed out leaflets and spread the word that we are here .. to the parents/carers and of course , the wonderful children that came to see us each week.
Good luck to those leaving us 😍
And for everyone else , we will see you in September ❤️
