  1. As part of our ongoing Animal World project, the children explored tiger stripes and discovered that patterns aren’t just decorative- they’re clever camouflage! Through observation, discussion and creative mark-making, the children learned how an animal’s pattern helps it to hide in its environment.

  2. 🦶🎨 Don't limit your creativity to just your hands: mark-making with your feet can stimulate a whole new level of imagination and unlock different parts of the brain. Give it a try at home and you might be surprised at what your child is capable of!

  3. 🚒The Oak children had a great time visiting the Fire Station today! It was amazing for them to learn first-hand about how firefighters work to keep our community safe. They even got a chance to operate the hose!

  4. Did you know the folklore that during Passover, frogs hop into the kitchens where bread is made, and even into the ovens! This has inspired lots of frog-themed activities at the nursery this week!

  5. Floating Flowers! For this activity, simply fill a container with some water, carefully place a folded paper flower onto the surface of the water, with the folded petals facing upwards, then watch as the petals on each flower start to unfold.

  7. 'Junk modelling' might seem like a bit of a misnomer because, when it comes to creating, nothing is really junk! It's a great way to repurpose items before recycling them, allowing children to explore different textures and properties and be completely open-ended and process-driven in what they make.

  8. Hapa Zome, meaning "leaf dye" in Japanese, is a printmaking technique where natural pigments from leaves and flowers are transferred onto fabric or paper by pounding them with a hammer or mallet. Simply sandwich some leaves or flowers between 2 pieces of fabric and bash with a hammer until enough pigment has been released to dye it!

  13. Our preschoolers have been busy bringing the Christmas story to life 🎄✨
    After being inspired by the beautiful knitted nativity in our reception area, the children decided to create their own version- using cardboard, tissue paper, imagination and a whole lot of teamwork.
    We love seeing their ideas take shape in such creative ways!

  14. 📦Big imagination, simple materials! Create a cardboard house with peek-through windows and watch your little one’s play brim with creativity and hide-and-seek fun.

  17. As a full daycare setting, it's really important to us that we're a 'home away from home' for our children, who we view as part of our 'daytime family'. Our environment is carefully considered to give all children the opportunity to just 'be'.

  18. In recognition of #StGeorgesDay there have been lots of red and white-themed activities across the nursery today, and the older children in particular have been really interested in flags and what they mean. Some of them even had a go at designing their own!

  19. 'Brain growth is experiential, requiring a wide range of experiences to reach its full potential'.
    This is exactly why our curriculum offers children a broad range of experiences through Malaguzzi's 100 languages of learning. Children need to *do* things to be able to learn them.

  20. Our little artists are getting ready for next week’s Winter Lights Celebration! This beautiful Christmas tree drawing is just one of the many creative designs the children have chosen for their paper lanterns. We love seeing their imagination shine through as they prepare to light up the season with colour, warmth, and wonder. 🌟

  23. "A swirly-whirly for my mummy." 💫🖍️
    At KatieB Kids, every mark tells a story and every story matters.
    This beautiful swirl wasn’t planned by an adult. It came from the heart of a child, for someone they love. And that’s magic!
