How beautiful is this nature-inspired twist on a classic game by @kerri_and_amys_childminding? 🌼🍃

A simple game of noughts & crosses becomes a sensory-rich experience using dandelions and daisies, all set in our Natural Sorting Tray. It’s a wonderful way to encourage turn-taking, pattern recognition, and fine motor skills—while staying connected to nature. 🌿💛

Sometimes, the simplest ideas bring the most joy ☺️

🌍 Happy International Mud Day! 🌿💦

There’s no better way to connect with nature than by getting hands-on in the mud - and our resources love a little dirt too!

Whether they are creating muddy meals, bug habitats, or simply feeling the textures between their fingers, every moment is full of discovery and delight.

Mud is more than mess — it’s learning, play, and connection with the world around us. 💚

🌿🌸Sorting Stones - Hide and Seek🌸🌿

As you can see these have a great appeal. These Sorting Stones offer the opportunity to explore colour, shape and pattern in a wide variety of contexts.

Here we’ve used them in dirt and the children have took ownership of their play by playing hide and seek with them ☺️💕

🐛 Celebrating National Insect Week in the most magical way! 🐞🦋🌿

What a wonderful bug exploration setup by @little_house_on_the_green — a true celebration of the fascinating world of insects and their vital role in our ecosystems. 🌼🍃

The children had the best time going on a minibeast hunt, using magnifying lenses to discover tiny creatures hiding beneath leaves and in the grass. 🔍🐜 The adventure didn’t stop there - they explored textures with bug-themed playdough, matched minibeasts to sensory stones, and created their own insect-inspired art using nature’s treasures. 🪲

Let’s Investigate - Bugs available via @hope_earlyyears alongside other amazing resources which brought this learning to life! 💚

We’re absolutely loving this brilliant Ten in the Bed maths play by • @honeyhiveearlyyears 🧸💤

They’ve created such a joyful invitation to explore numbers through singing and storytelling - using our Ten in the Bed wooden bear counters! The double-sided bears and bed sparked so many learning opportunities: number sequencing, matching with Numicon, patterns, number bonds to ten, and even a bit of imaginative play as each Numicon piece became a mini bed for the bear that “fell out”! 🛏️

Proof that early maths can be meaningful, playful, and full of curiosity 💛
