The Nursery will be on holiday both Monday 15th February and Tuesday 16th February.
Time away from Nursery does not have to be costly or challenging. Listed below are some fun and free ideas for you to enjoy with your child at home….
Where do I live?
Get wrapped up warm and go a walk to the local shop or park. Look at your front door, before you leave. What is your door number? What does your door look like? What is the name of your street? (Discuss this with your child.)
When it’s time to go home, holding your child’s hand and keeping them safe, allow them to lead you home. Has your child lost their direction or did they lead you home?
Boxes of fun!
Collect some unwanted cardboard boxes, some shops and supermarkets are happy to give these to you.
Create a space indoors or outdoors if a dry day.
Encourage your child to think about what they can make with the boxes. A train, bus, house, pirate ship…lets use our imagination.
You may be surprised at the amount of fun this basic activity will provide.
Add to the activity by providing pens and crayons to draw on the boxes!
Learn to Juggle!
Collect three small pieces of material.
Follow this video for a great demonstration on how to juggle!
Who is the best juggler? Time each other, who can juggle the longest?
Go for a walk!
Plan a big walk. You will feel refreshed, full of energy and children will value that time with you, away from computers, phones and TV!
