Another Monday morning, lets shake of those Monday blues with Joe Wicks. This session is from Saturday and can be accessed through this link:
Another physical activity you could do today is to spell out your name then do the activity relating to each of the letters in your name. Once you have completed this for yourself why not spell out the names of all your family members and get them to join in to!!!

Lets get creative
Bird feeder
Here is another idea for a fun bird feeder project that can be done with children of all ages with little support. This project gives a plastic milk jug a new purpose while simultaneously helping the wildlife, all this allows children to have fun while connecting with nature!
Make a Hobby Horse
A challenge for this week. Get a long stick and an old sock. Sew or glue some buttons on for eyes, add some scraps of felt or other material for nose and ears.
If you make two you can have races. The grown-ups can join in too.
Here’s a little poem to help you along.
The Sock
I used to be so handsome,
My colours were so bright
Me and my brother were twins
I was left and he was right.
One day someone bought us
They took us from the shop
They put us on their smelly feet
Then began to run and hop
One day we were in a Welly
In the forest finding sticks
The next day we were in a trainer
Exercising with Joe Wicks
Every single day we were worn
We never got a wash
We were used for every kind of sport
Football, cricket, squash
My brother was unlucky
He couldn’t stand the pace
A toenail went right through him
In a 100 metre race
Now our time was over
We were destined for the bin
No more being the favourites
It really was a sin
My brother was casually thrown away
They treated him so mean
I was treated differently
I went in the washing machine
I had a wash and came out clean
Then got pegged on the line to dry
After a while they took me in
I was scared, I started to cry
They filled me full of stuffing
That’s when I knew, of course
They were going to tie me too a stick
And make a “Hobby Horse”
Homemade moon sand recipe
A fun way to make your own play sand is to use flour and oil (this can be olive/vegetable oil or even baby oil)… simple!
8 cups flour
1 cup oil
(Measurements can be halved, quartered even doubled depending on how much you would like to make)
It’s as simple as mixing the ingredients together in a bowl and its ready to play with! If you don’t have any sand moulds at home, you could use bowls, cups, whisks and other utensils for your little ones to explore and have fun!
