Morning everyone May here, for our 2 year old children i thought i would introduce you all to a wee activity that encourages curiosity with our toddlers.

It is called a treasure basket where you can explore everyday household items, explore senses, use language about the objects with your child. I hope you enjoy. Love May x

Ice Painting
Today we made some ice paint and then painted some pictures, I wonder if you would like to try this at home.
All you need is
1. A paper cup or something to put the liquid in.
2.  Food colouring.
3. Water
If you want you can put something in the cup like a lollipop stick to make a handle or you can just use your hands (they might get a bit cold though) Pop in the freezer for a couple of hours then start painting. You can make lots of colours and practice your mixing skills too
Have fun xx

How to Make an Exploding Snowman in a Bag
Materials:
•       A sandwich bag
•       Permanent markers
•       Baking soda
•       Vinegar
•       Paper towel or tissue paper
Directions
1. Give the sandwich bag to your kid to decorate with permanent markers. This is a good opportunity to teach your kid how to draw a snowman’s face. Do be careful that your kid doesn’t get permanent marker on the furniture, the floor, of himself.

1. Wrap 3 teaspoons of baking soda inside a piece of paper towel or tissue.

2. Place the baking soda packet inside the plastic bag.

You might want to do the next steps OUTSIDE!!!!

1. Pour about 1-2 cups of white vinegar into the sandwich bag and seal the bag quickly. It should swell up quickly.

2. Stand back and watch it explode!

Why Did the Snowman Explode?
As baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, mixes with vinegar, carbon dioxide is created. The bag starts to fill with carbon dioxide (and that’s why you see the bag start to swell up) until the pressure is too much and … BOOM!

Hi boys and girls here is a literacy and numeracy activity, watch my big girl in the video, you need to find the letter or the number in the salt or sugar with your paint brush.  Challenge yourself by saying the letter and saying a word that starts with that letter.  Go even further by trying to find an item around your house that starts with that letter.  With the numbers challenge yourself by trying higher numbers or even adding two together, have fun let me see pictures x

See my sway today for an example and the pics below…
