🐘 Safari Adventures 🐘 Our beautiful footpri

🐘 Safari Adventures 🐘
Our beautiful footprint stones offer the perfect opportunity to explore the animal kingdom. Use them alongside photos, figures and favourite books to extend the learning and play. We love this example from @keziangelica 💕

Regram @keziangelica I’ve been eyeing @yellow_door_education products for quite some time andddd… finally @kidzbarntoys have them available here, kamsahamnidaaaa 🥳 This is their Let’s Investigate Safari Footprints set 🐆🦓🦏🦒🐘🦛

These double-sided stones are made out of resin (or they call it “unique stone mix”), which makes them durable to use indoors AND outdoors, heat AND cold, water resistant, and there are sooooo many ways to play (and learn) with it 🧡 Such as sorting, matching, role play, examining, crayon rubbing, put them in the freezer to make ice, andddd so much more! 🤎 One side of the stone shows the animal, and the other shows the animal’s footprint 👣

Today, we used them as stampers with my personal fav homemade playdough from @momndough 🌈 sort them with fact cards & figurines from @gamemontessori ✨ and match them with my anatomy cards which you can purchase from the link in my bio.

🦴 Explore and Discover 🦴
Whether it’s digging things out of sand or pushing into playdough there is something quite magical about unearthing exciting finds! Children love to get hands-on and discover more about their discoveries just like this beautiful set-up by @island.mum.island.baby

#regram • @island.mum.island.baby Fossils and stones. This was a big hit, we looked through this book together and matched pieces up to our resources, we then buried our treasures in playdough and excavated them while talking about colours, textures, fossils, minerals and more.

🌟Winning Combinations 🌟
We love to see which resources you use alongside your Yellow Door products. Whether it’s a favourite book, playdough, natural objects gathered from outdoor adventures or much loved items from your setting or home. What’s your favourite combination that’s guaranteed to capture the children’s attention?
Thank you @tiger_and_fox_rocks for sharing this fantastic play with us.

#regram First time playing with our @organisedchaoswithkids woodland rice! The boys squished it in to the play dough in seconds! 🙈 We really needed this activity after school today- I’m not sure what it is about play dough play that calms the boys, maybe it’s the texture and perhaps the amazing smell. It’s also the first time we used our @yellow_door_education woodland footprint stones. How have o waited so long before getting these? ! They leave such a clear impression and really add a new dimension to our play and learning. We used the @usborne_books ‘The Woodland Book’ to read about animal tracking - I picked it up in the library last week, it’s a really informative book about trees, their seeds and woodland animals- definitely one we will be adding to our home collection.

Today's after school activity was a super quick set up, but the children all loved it!
I buried our @yellow_door_education Fossil stones in sand, then set out some wooden tools, natural loose parts, fossil flash cards and some beautifully scented @scarletts.senses play dough for them to make prints with.
The fossil stones are fantastic! So detailed and well made, love everything from @yellow_door_education ❤

Curved, wiggly, bumpy, straight! Combining resources is a fantastic way for children to create and explore patterns and textures. Playdough and Sensory Stones, as shown in these gorgeous pictures from @four.little.beans, is a classic pairing.

Regram @four.little.beans
I spent so long crafting myself today that I had nothing organised for the kids 🙈
I gave them some beautifully scented dough from @scarletts.senses, along with some wooden play dough tools and @yellow_door_education sensory stones both from @little_acornsuk, and they had a great time!
Sometimes the simple set ups are the best as it means the children can use their imagination more ❤

🧡Pumpkin Maths🧡
How many ways can you make 10? Love the pumpkin theme to this number bonds activity from @rascals_and_rainbows.

regram Pumpkin Number bonds🎃🎃
.
.
Our first activity for this week’s pumpkin-themed #earlymathsfun 🎃. My little lady is currently revising number bonds to ten, so I’m always looking for different ways to present them! She used her jumbo pebbles from @yellow_door_education to find pairs to make ten and used her #Numicon as a way to self-assess her answers🌟. (It’s very easy to see if she has made ten using the Numicon tiles!)
.
She recorded the number sentences on her wooden writing board. I also set out our number board from @thelittlecoachhouse along with dyed rice from @littlesensorythings so my little Miss could be involved too. She’s not ready for number bonds yet, but always wants to do what her big sister is doing😅.

We have been enjoying a spooky halloween sensory play tray today filled with scoops, pots and loose parts perfect for lots of hands on learning from the children.

This type of play is perfect for developing gross and fine motor skills and is child led...they can come and go as they please and decide which ways they want to play and explore. The water beads add extra texture and colour to this seasonal activity.

Sensory stimulation enables children to focus on something other than their distressing thought or overwhelming emotion. A first aid kit of resources can help an anxious or distressed child to regain a sense of calm. What would you include?

🌎 World Mental Health Day 🌎
Young or old, we all deserve the chance to thrive and grow but creating a nurturing environment to do so has been especially challenging this year hasn’t it. Checking in with yourself and those around you is an important first step so let’s all take some time today to think about how we are feeling right now. How do you like to take time out? Quiet time alone, a long walk outside or chatting to friends and family?

A huge thank you to @allaboutearlyyears for such lovely comments about our Feels-Write Letter Stones 💕
Children learn best through using tactile resources - FACT! 👏🏻⠀
I LOVE these alphabet stones by @yellow_door_education we have both sets (lowercase & uppercase) and use them for everything! 😍 They are actually one of my top early years resources EVER! ⠀
For this activity we encouraged the children to use their finger to go over the letter before using the chalk to write it ✍🏻
Mixing the lower & upper case letters also supports their knowledge & understanding of the alphabet 🔤⠀
