Lets get creative
Microwave Puffy Paint
Your kids will be entertained and learn something new.
What you will need::
Half a cup of flour
two teaspoons of baking powder,
two teaspoons of salt
food colouring.
Method:
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl then split into smaller dishes adding the food colouring to the small dish along with a small amount of water to make a paste. Let your child get creative painting on cardboard or paper. Once they have created their picture microwave their art piece for 30-40 seconds, this will make the paint puff up.
Toilet Roll tube printing
Who knew toilet roll tubes could be so educational? Here is a fun way for children to develop their knowledge of some 2D shapes. When stamping the shapes look closely at the shapes together and talk about their names and properties (e.g “look at the square, it has 4 corners and 4 flat sides)!
You could also give each shape a colour of its own and talk about the colours and even make simple patterns together… maybe even encourage little ones to make their own repeating pattern. What a lot of learning from some paint and a couple of toilet roll tubes! You could even use your Puffy Paint to make the pictures.
Shape
Build shape pictures, developing your child’s recognition of 2D shape, with this Sesame Street game. To access the game use this link:

Story
The Gruffalo in Scot’s is a story the children enjoyed in the nursery. They enjoyed learning all the new words in the traditional Scottish tongue.
