How an art store saved my life, and possibly the lives of my children! April 19, 2013. How and art store saved my life! The rainy weather is great and I love having all my children indoors, bored out of their skulls. Why is it that it always rains on school holidays anyway? After a few days of cabin fever (and actual fevers thanks to an ill-advised trip. To a play centre) I was forced to turn to the activity I suck the most at – craft. There’s a reason I buy all my handmade products online. That right th...

http://smartyartykids.blogspot.com/p/competitions.html
From time to time we like to hold competitions or giveaways. Rather than spending thousands on advertising we love it when our business grows through happy customers spreading the word about our little business, this is why we decided that instead of spending heaps on advertising we would run regular competitions and give aways to help create awareness about us and what we do. So please always feel free to share our blog, facebook page and website. New to 2013. Starting late January. These are as follows.

http://smartyartykids.blogspot.com/2013/04/templates-or-not-in-this-day-and-age.html
Monday, 22 April 2013. In this day and age childcare has evolved quite a bit. Some things for the better - something's I am not so sure of. We went through a stage of eliminating all the risk and while I can see some people are slowly changing to incorporate this educators are still held back by scheme and centre policies. Do I think that children should only be taught from templates? Do I think educators/children should use and have access to templates? Here is my answer. How can we make this easy for t...

Smarty Arty: Newsletter
http://smartyartykids.blogspot.com/p/newsletter.html
This last month seemed to have flown by, between our orders and planning we blinked and the month was gone. As you may have seen on Facebook and via emails we will be changing the way the membership is run. Email versions will go to a log on. The difference will also be that some themes will technically have stages like transport 1 and transport 2, as we expand themes more to give you more ideas for you and the children in your care. From your feedback we are also looking into type able PDF. Paper member...

Monday, 6 January 2014. New Years Resolution No. 1 "Cleaning the Windows to my Soul". Are they a waste of time? Lets be honest most of us only ever stick to the half hearted ones for a few weeks. We give our selves this list of unrealistic demands and slap a date to comply on it. So my New Years Resolution No. 1 starts in 2013. As a business owner, you read lots of blogs, facebook pages and the sorts, you mostly skim over these and take it all with a grain of salt. And no wonder I lost my spark? I lost m...

Thursday, 14 May 2015. Family Day Care. A great start to your child's future. Mr Davidson – where did he get that from? We don’t know anyone called that. And the business dealings? Way too funny not to join in, he certainly is the entertainer of the family. Where does all this come from? He is a problem solver, a visionary, a writer, an actor, a designer, a creator, and inventor a story teller and my son! Posted by Smarty Arty. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, 16 March 2014. Exposure.It's all about Exposure! Being a child should be all about fun. There is a great push to learn, learn, learn these days and while learning along the way is important, this is the time when learning should be all about fun. No pressure, no expectations.just exposure. I hear a. What do you mean by that? This is where the no pressure, no expectations come in. If you place for instance, a basket of coloured counters out, will all children play with it? A 2 year old.learnin...

Smarty Arty: August 2014
http://smartyartykids.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 August 2014. What happened to our school system? Now we don't see this community of learning, we see a rushed schedule of work that has a due date, and if the children don't get it, if they need more time.well it is time we don't give them. They need time, time to learn, try different things, work out what works and what doesn't. How are we teaching them, nurturing them to trust themselves, try new things and be able to succeed even if it takes awhile. The answer should be NO! When did our chi...

Tuesday, 26 February 2013. Creativity for Kids - Ways to Grow Your Child’s Creative Streak. Instructional projects to stimulate creativity for kids. Sometimes, real instruction is needed. Your child needs to know how to use the art materials you have supplied – your demonstration and suggestions will assist greatly in your child’s first efforts at drawing and painting, and your supervision is unquestionably necessary in using many of these materials. Resist perfectionism in creativity for kids. Are great...
