Okay my littlest friends… This activity is for you 🙂 Go for a walk and collect a few nature pieces… a stick… a petal… a few leaves… Grab a large ziplock bag, a big glass of water and some wide packing or masking tape. I used a little rubbing alcohol to wipe away the ziploc label but if you don’t have it at home just skip this step! Place all your treasures inside the bag along with the water. Gently squeeze the air out of the bag. Take the tape and seal the bag onto the floor. Take another piece of tape and place it on the bottom of the…

We’re Going on a Nature Hunt…
We’re going on a nature hunt… We’re going to see some living things… It’s a rainy day… we’re not scared! Okay adventurers! Today we are going to make binoculars to explore outside!

The rain is coming…indoor gross motor activity
Good morning friends… The rain is coming in and your little ones might have a little more energy that needs tp be released! Grab a roll of painters tape or masking tape and make an indoor hopscotch in your hallway. Let’s count! Can you jump on one foot? Can you jump like a bunny? A frog? How about jumping over a number and skipping a box? Can mom and dad get all the way to the end? Another idea is using the tape to make parking lots and roads – there is so much you can do with a roll of tape! Have fun and stay safe <3 Ms Gael
