Will definitely use this next time I read this story. He is so animated! We're going on a bear hunt - Michael Rosen performs. Snowstorm - ...

http://www.teachertypes.com/2015/07/5-fun-activities-to-do-indoors-this.html

It's right smack bang in the middle of winter, play cafe's are busy, it's too cold and rainy to play at the park - which doesn't leave many alternatives. So I tried to come up with some winter warming activities to keep Miss M busy at home. Firstly, we made this cute and cosy indoor cubby. I'm sure we've all done this growing up (my mum used to make ours over the old fashioned clothes horse! Musical statues or bobs.

Teacher Types: Alphabet Pebbles | Wonderful Word Building

http://www.teachertypes.com/2014/09/alphabet-pebbles-wonderful-word-building.html

Sunday, September 7. Alphabet Pebbles Wonderful Word Building. Following on from my Alphabet Project post. I created these little alphabet pebbles in lower case letters a-z. They will be great to use in the classroom for the kiddies to create simple three and four letter words. There is a significant step from when children have learnt the letters of the alphabet - to actually writing simple words. It's called word building. The letters, it's more about recognising. What a simple classroom resource!

Tuesday, August 11. Colour Sorting for Toddlers. I'm here with a simple colour sorting activity today that Miss M recently enjoyed. I love these mini tubs from Howards Storage World. And immediately thought of ways to use them for a fun activities. To see the full range of 'Tubtrugs'! They're such a great addition to a play area.

Friday, July 11. Fun with Straws Simple Toddler Play. A short and sweet post today. About simple baby and toddler play ideas? Little Miss and I discovered that my straws wouldn't fit through the little holes of my colander. Well look what I found in the shed! A little canister from IKEA was just the thing I needed for some fun straw play. You could turn this into a fun game of kerplunk for older kiddies by just adding some pom poms :). Until next time (which won't be very long I hope). Simple template&#4...

Kylie has offered great advice to me along the way and we hope to meet up in person soon.
