Love this post from @ivf.ninja and just wanted to $Love this post from @ivf.ninja and just wanted to share as it really links in with the #connectwithnature theme of Mental Health Awareness Week. Our rollers can be used as a way of bringing calm and settling emotions, as children tinker and tell stories as they play. The natural themes lend themselves to a bit of quiet and reflection. 🌳 Still playing 🌳 . . Don’t worry, we are still playing! (Just busy spamming you with holiday pics) . . Thought this play set up was apt as this years #mentalhealthawarenessweek is #naturetheme . . I mixed doughs again!!! {prev. Gifted} From @clops_and_pops_dough and must say I now really like the mixology and Dot loves the freedom of it too . . The rollers are @yellow_door_education from @smallecosteps_ and you can use ‘kelly’ for discount {brand rep} . .

🍃 SENSORY LEAVES & TREES 🌳 Have you noticed

🍃 SENSORY LEAVES & TREES 🌳 Have you noticed how the leaves on the trees are unfurling at a rapid rate at the moment? It is an ideal time to go for a walk and spend some time gazing upwards at a variety of tree canopies, as well as taking a closer look at individual leaves. What shape are they? How do they feel? Do they smell? Are they hiding any insects? Connecting with nature in this way is the theme of #mentalhealthawarenessweek this year. Being outdoors and being immersed in the natural world with all your senses can have an awesome calming effect. Hope you get to explore nature this week and it brings wonder and joy to your day 😊 #connectwithnature #naturalemotions #welovetreesandwoods #playingoutdoors

Lovely post from @_mrs_burrow that we wanted to share 😍. It really highlights how well our farm footprint stones stamp in dough and how they are double-sided too! 🐓ON THE FARM 🐓

We’ve had a great time using our @yellow_door_education farmyard foot print stampers bought from @isaacs_treasures. I didn’t realise they are double sided!! I thought we would have to guess the animal to the footprint 😅. How amazing ♥️

We used our yay dough from @myweefolk, as a family we collectively chose the colours to suit the animals 😆.

We have been gifted some wonderful crayons from @critter_crayons. I printed off a few pictures of farm animals and our children coloured them in: use code burrow10 for discount 🥰♥️.

We loved extending our leaning by spelling out the different animals 🔡 @reelwooddesign

An ocean-themed bookish set up for my little lady this morning😍.

#earthday today! 🌳 Thank you to so many of you

#earthday today! 🌳 Thank you to so many of you who have been using our new rollers as part of your themed play ❤️. It is inspiring to see how they help to extend the learning and offer a satisfying way for children to explore patterns in nature. As they roll and stamp, they may tell stories, ask questions and be inspired to find out more about the natural world. By creating this tactile art, children are also developing muscle strength and fine motor skills too 😊. How are you celebrating Earth Day? Which habitats and environments are you learning more about? #earthday2021 #earthday #earthdayactivities #carefortheplanet #outdoorclassroom #explore #habitats #oceanlife #pondlife #forestlife #minibeasts #playdough #nature #natureplay #earthplayweek #montessoriearthday #earthdayeveryday

Just wanted to share this from @learnwell_education 😊 We are delighted to be selling their Part, Part, Whole Tray which provides lots of opportunities for exploring number in many creative ways! Enabling children to follow their own interests and develop a love of early maths ❤️. Doing the same thing in lots of different ways ➡️
-
💛Making those connections in their brains takes time.
🧡Let them hold maths in their hands before you expect them to hold it in their heads.
❤️Take the same activity and make it squidgy, sparkly, huge, tiny, fiddly, funny, natural, following their interests...
💜Be brave, let them play and discover their own connections.

We were inspired by this mini nature area made by @the_little_adventurer_ An inviting way to create a small world for investigation and looking more closely. Insect observation area 🐌🐞🐝🐛

Our garden needed an area for Little to see and watch insects. He’s been digging up the garden, piles of dirt and my flowers in search of creepy crawlers.

When we got this tyre I knew it’d be perfect for insect utopia! Great height for Little to sit and peer into to watch the insects.

Daddy attached a circular piece of wood and tarp inside then I filled with soil and lots of bits to hopefully entice the bugs in!

Do you have an insect area in your garden? We have bee and butterfly houses too (up heigh)

This is a great sensory experience too.

It has been gorgeous and sunny here today, an ideal time to watch birds potter purposefully in search of nesting materials 🪶🥚. It has inspired a spring sensory play set up as we realised our Natural Flower Tray makes the perfect nest for our Size-Sorting Eggs!!! This activity will inspire children to talk about size, colour and what might hatch out! So many possibilities to explore... #sizesorting #eyfsideas #earlymaths #springplay #sensoryplay #inspiredbynature #sensoryplayideas #openendedplay #outdoorplay #natureplay #learningaboutnature #spring

🐠🐡🐙 Look what you could make with our ocean life rollers 🤩 We love seeing the creative ways you use our resources and this is simply beautiful with stunning results in the clay. Thank you @growing_with_mae_and_roo

We were inspired by the wonderful @elanaslittlelife to make some clay prints using our under the sea rollers!
.
Here is what worked well...
🐠 roll the clay out to around 1.5 cm think
🐙 create a scene using your rollers
🦈 use a cookie cutter to select the best part of your picture and cut it out
🐟 use a straw to create a hole if you want to hang them up
🐬 when dry, paint a wash with water colour first
🌊 paint the detail over the top using acrylic or poster paint
🦀 paint with some modge podge to protect your design
.
.
The bright colours were inspired by a lovely under the sea book we have been reading, our book review will follow!
.
Our @yellow_door_education rollers are from @tinkertrayplay and the clay was from Amazon.
