Wonderful Work of the Weavers
Giving children the opportunity to weave helps them to develop many skills. Your wee one can get very creative when it comes to weaving, they might choose to use different objects or create patterns and it gives them the physical experience of spatial concepts of up, over and under. Your wee ones build their eye/hand coordination while strengthening their muscles used in a pincer grip. You can use a fence, garden canes, sticks or anything you can weave with.

Design your very own fairy, pixie or gnome costume!
Take a good look at your leaf, could it become a piece of clothing for a fairy or pixie? Would it make a good jacket, skirt, trousers or hat?
Draw your own little character then add their lovely new outfit!
Hot or Cold!
Start with someone hiding something in your house. Whoever has hidden the item tells the person searching that they are HOT if they are close to the item or COLD if they are far from it.
