Spring time play and crafting

We have been spending a little time practicing our pencil grip and control. Here George is using a chalk pen, they are great (we even use them on the windows sometimes).

The boys are outside, enjoying some time to investigate the amount of water that has gathered in the tyres. One found a star fish in the sand area and took it up to put it in the water, telling us "it needs water to survive". Also ‘double trouble’ gathering water for their mud pies! Our poor mud kitchen took a bit of a battering in the recent gales, but this doesn’t stop us having some messy outdoor fun!

​​Coinneach has just joined us – he has had a great first week, particularly exploring our outdoor area.  He enjoyed climbing our tyre climbing frame and investigating our tyre ladder. 

​​Olivia is loving covering Daddy Pig in bubbles. She spent ages playing in the water and extending the bubble blowing to make patterns.

​​Ceitidh is enjoying the feeling of the artificial snow, making her animals get stuck in the snow for her to rescue. The artificial snow is dry powder, mixed with water to make snow, which felt cold to the touch.  Our winter theme is coming to an end.

​​Seonaidh is taking his time gluing his torn pieces of tissue paper onto his snowflake as part of our winter topic. Seonaidh spent quite a bit of time deciding which colour to put where.

​​Miller enjoying some creating time at the art easel. She loves to explore different brush strokes and has good control of the paint brush. Miller is making a purple shape to go on the colour wall.

​​Jo loving the texture of the paint and getting her hands messy. This is an orange shape to be added to the colour wall, a visual tool to become more aware of ‘na dathan’.

The children in the baby room have been making foot print penguin and hand print robins for their winter topic. 
They also celebrated Robert Burns and got to try haggis, neeps, and tatties - as well as a little bit of Irn Bru! Kenny very kindly came in and played the pipes for us too.

December has been a very busy month. The children in the baby room have been making snowflakes, stockings, snowmen, stars, and reindeer for our Christmas display. 
They also made reindeer dust and very cute Christmas cards for their mams and dads. 
They all had loads of fun at our Christmas party dancing all day long, enjoyed some party food and goodies, and they all looked their best in their lovely outfits.

The children in the baby room have been learning a little about autumn. They investigated different textured leaves and they also made leaf biscuits and hedgehog cakes. 
Baking is a great activity to develop early numeracy skills.

Once a baby's vision begins to develop, they love to look at faces. Mirrors help babies learn self-awareness. Our baby is playing peek-a-boo with himself.
