🌸This week, our #Toddlers were fully immersed in a delightful pink water activity, enhanced with the sweet scent of bubble gum. They explored this sensory experience by pouring and transporting water using various containers and pipettes. 🌸

🐻 #Babies went on an action-packed bear hunt in our garden! During the hunt, they were able to feel all parts of the story in reality by stepping through the squelching mud, splashing in the river, and climbing through the swishy grass before finally reaching home. 🏞💧🌱🏡

👩🏾‍🍳👨‍🍳Our Mini Chefs 👩🏾‍🍳👨‍🍳 Our little chefs embraced their creativity and culinary skills in a fun-filled Master Chef-inspired tuff tray activity! The #Infants engaged in pretend play, rolling out dough, and assembling their own colourful pizzas using play-dough🍕🍕🍕
