Word Rolls

June 17, 2013 by Kate 46 Comments

It’s true that every country, state and school can approach reading education differently, however, these little wordy rolls are great to assist children in recognising how words are put together and can often be broken up in diagraphs and phonemic blends.  I simply recycled some wrapping paper tubes that I’d normally have thrown out and fortunately […]

Learn with Wax

June 14, 2013 by Kate 3 Comments

DIY Heat Bags

June 11, 2013 by Kate 13 Comments

Personalised heat bags make such a great gift to give to any loved one. I made them a few years ago with a grade 2/3 class for father’s day and the feedback was incredibly positive. I even had a few of the children’s dads write me little ‘thank you’ notes! The good news is that […]

LEGO activity for tots

May 30, 2013 by Kate 18 Comments

Here is a fabulous LEGO activity for tots to do simply at home. It is wonderful for hand-eye coordination and colour matching.   Don’t you just love those moments when children surprise you?  Possum and I were playing with a few random paddle pop sticks that I’d left out from a craft activity when she […]

Shaving Cream Fun

May 27, 2013 by Kate 8 Comments

Let’s face it, who could really resist not smooshing their hand into a pile of shaving cream? The sprinkles on top just add to the temptation.  When I asked my mum if we could use her glass table I just accidentally (on purpose) forgot to mention we were going to get my niece and nephew […]
