Ice Painting
It’s so exciting that the weather where we live is warming up. On days like this I start thinking about all the things we can do outdoors. Possum enjoys using finger paint, however, I thought I’d try freezing coloured water blocks and allow her to paint with those. This is a great activity because it […]

They are TEAR-PROOF, CHEW-PROOF and WATERPROOF (aka drool). I love and […]

Reflections
Babies and young children love to look at themselves in the mirror. Possum in particular! You’d be pleased to know that this pleasure has many great developmental benefits. When a baby looks at their reflection it helps them to do the following – * teaches them how to focus on objects * tracking images * […]
Remembrance Day
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month has a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front and it became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. LEST WE FORGET I always feel it is my duty, simple […]
