Circle Print Snowmen

Although we are still awaiting the promised snowfall, the children loved painting these wintry snowmen and are very proud of their pictures.


We talked about colours and the circle shapes and then the fun began - lots of circular printing.

We discussed where our hats, noses, buttons and arms go although the children had some interesting interpretations of this!

January Topic

Our January topic will be WINTER

Some of the fun things that we will be getting up to include:-

• playing with sparkly snow play-dough
• creating snowmen pictures using circles
• looking at animals that like snow
• enjoying winter sensory play with rice, salt and some other goodies
• Reading books about snow e.g. guess how much I love you in the winter
• Going outside to enjoy the wintry weather! 

Christmas Cards

This afternoon we have been making Christmas cards, I hope the parents like them as much as we do!

The children had a lovely time finding all their sparkly favourites to glue onto the triangle trees. 

December Topic: Christmas

Rather predictably we are going to be focussing on Christmas this month!

We have many exciting things planned that include:

• Making Christmas cards
• Attending our toddler group Christmas Party
• Christmas sensory tray play (involving cinnamon!)
• Counting Christmas tree baubles
• Venturing out to explore our festive community

A little bit of a sad day for us today as we were saying goodbye to my first ever mindee after two years (she is pictured in the middle). 

She will be missed but we will see her soon and wish her mummy lots of luck in her new childminding venture!
