We love this frog invitation by @sparkleandshineineyfs featuring our kindness hearts, what a lovely idea 💚💙💚💙

Posted @withregram • @sparkleandshineineyfs There is just something about frogs… and this pond is one of the most played with things in the house at the moment!

#yellowdooreducation #pondhabitat #kindnesshearts #earlyyearseducation #ourdoorplay #smallworldplay #earlyyearsoutdoors #openendedplay

How awesome is this pond tuff tray invitation, it’s so rich and enticing, lots to explore! Featuring our Hollow Log, Tree Stump and Sensory Flower Stones.

Posted @withregram • @mouse_and_roos_adventures Frog pool

I set this up using my @yellow_door_education hollow log, tree stump and flowers.

The kids were both interested in this and went straight for the bigger frog.
Athena then collected the life cycle item's and set them into the correct order on a lily pad.

Athena got out our mud insert again and set up her own play on the floor. She did a great job and was very proud.

Posted @withregram • @thedayswhereweplayed Hip Hip Hooray for Superworm!

We're big fans of Superworm by Julia Donaldson at the moment. So this little small world was somewhat inevitable. Play dough goes down very well at the moment so incorporating a little playdough worm definitely received approval.

This quick play tray incorporated the @yellow_door_education bug stones and the counting bugs from our @tinkertrayplay
Summer subscription box, alongside play dough and a few natural resources.

We love this sensory tray exploring the lifecycle of a snail 🐌 so many different materials and textures. Children become fascinated with observing bugs, this can then lead to further inquiry and curiosity about the natural environment in which they're found. Featuring our Let’s Roll - Garden Bugs.

SNAIL LIFE CYCLE

I think we are on part 3 of our snail themed plays 😅 this time we took a closer look at their life cycles and I think I'm starting to win over the big guy on snails 😂

First he used the tongs to pick out the "sunflower seeds". Then I watched him make a little story for our snail figurines and playdough cut out! It was a whole family and they were adorable. He also stabbed the playdough snail with the tongs and cackled about it...but we won't talk about that...lol 😬

We’re sneaking one last 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐝 post in for #easypeasyplay this week. This morning George made a ladybug habitat in an egg carton. I wrote the numbers 0-10 inside for him to match the number of spots on the ladybugs to the egg carton.⁣⁣

We love this Garden Messy Play invitation. Such a fun and inviting set up and so many learning opportunities.

Open ended activities like this allow children to explore and play freely, helping children boost their creativity, imagination and independent learning.

Remember the chocolate 'mud' I made for our dino's play this week? I saved it and reused it for this fun and messy garden sensory activity 🍓🥕🍊🌳🍅

I placed water with a bit of soap in another bin, added gardening tools, pans, scoops and of course our most loved fruit & veggies sensory stones from @mapleandlark

We spent this morning outdoor pretend mud pies, scooping, watering and Roy was also loved scrubbing and cleaning the stones with soap and water.

Posted @withregram • @wemovedtothesuburbs So this fantastic art work is not made by a child, even though it does look like it was, but by me, a 37 year old woman 😆

I hope small will enjoy destroying this summery scene when he wakes from his nap!

Used bees and ladybirds @yellow_door_education

Those inspired flowers are drawn and coloured by me, I know you're all jealous of such art skills 🤣

🪲🦋 National Insect Week 🐜🐞

We are joining in with National Insect Week and this fits in with our Garden Habitat Week perfectly 🐜🐞🪲🦋

It’s so important to encourage children to learn more about insects and how to look after them in their environment.

Here are some ideas around exploring insects;
*Try a bug themed sensory tray, maybe take inspiration from the above photos.
*Strengthen fine motor skills and make insects with playdough.
*Promote maths by counting the legs, all true insects have 6 legs.
*Identify the body parts of insects looking at their anatomy.
*Explore and Discuss the importance of Bees and Butterflies.
*Go on a minibeast hunt in your garden to see what you can find! Don’t forget your magnifying glass ☺️

Garden Bugs and Slime.. sounds messy but looks a whole lot of fun! Messy play is great for children to explore their senses and develop an awareness of how things feel, smell and taste. Maybe leave the tasting out of this one ☺️ Featuring our Let’s Investigate- Bugs 🐜🦋🐞🕷🪲

This is our bug fun from a couple of weeks ago when the weather was full of sunshine 🌞.

I mixed up a sachet of green gelli and added in a few branches and leaves alongside insects and our @yellow_door_education insect stones from @eduzone. Joseph found his clear watering can and wanted to add more water to his play, it just made the gelli more sloppy!

How inviting does this gardening tray look? Planting lots of flowers in your garden is a great way to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This is great hands on learning for the children to explore. Featuring our Sensory Flower stones 🌸🌿🌺🌿🌼

🌺 GARDENING 🌱

This invitation has been well explored everyday this week. Inspired by the lovely @inspiremyplay page we have used beans together with our artificial flowers and our @greentoneseco plant pots. We paired this with our flower cards from @little.robin.education to extend their flower knowledge.

A great way to incorporate maths including pouring and emptying, capacity, finer motor skills, discussion about growing and caring for plants as well as new language and vocabulary.

Posted @withregram • @deedee_in_wonderland 🐌 GARDEN 🐌

My little boy loves spending time in the garden and it's great for him to burn off all of that energy - he loves doing bug hunts, playing with his den kit, trampoline and bike etc.

So today we have a garden set up for after he's finished playing outside, lots of bugs to spot and things to look at which may be the same as our garden. We have loose parts and playdough so he can add to the garden I've created or make his very own.

What's your favourite thing about your garden?

🥕🥔🫘🥦Eat your vegetables🥕🥔🫘🥦

To kick start Garden Habitat week, we are celebrating National Eat Your Vegetables Day.

Growing beans in your garden is a great way to involve children! It’s nice and simple but also a lovely opportunity to extend further, bringing in stories such as Jack and the Beanstalk 🫘

It’s so important to engage young children in growing their own vegetables. Not only will they have an understanding of growth but it encourages them to eat healthier and promotes overall well rounded development.

What vegetables have you got growing in your garden?

This is such a wonderful sensory experience, the photos do all the talking 😂A great science activity too ☺️ thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Posted @withregram • @learnwithlily 🦀Rockpool Gloop!🦀

Have you tried gloop before?!

It’s such a brilliant material for sensory play as it really ignites curiousity, experimentation and play responses! Plus it’s taste safe too!

✨Top tip! This activity is a little messy, but it's definitely worth it. My clean up advice is make sure you let it dry hard and chalky a little before you clean! It makes it so much easier to clean then navigating wet, runny gloop! 🙈

💙🐚🌊Ocean Transient Art 💙🐚🌊

Transient Art is an opportunity for children to explore, manipulate and freely create their ideas, telling their own stories.

You can use an empty frame or if your feeling really creative you can make cardboard frames ☺️
Adding an assortment of loose parts.

Here, we’ve used our 10-Frame Tray and Rustic Bowls they are perfect for displaying loose parts such as glass gems and ocean figurines.
