Activities Brainstorm
Sensory Block Play
Today, the children explored wooden sensory blocks with colourful windows and some with beads inside. They enjoyed looking through the blocks, holding them up to the light, and watching the colours change. Some children stacked the blocks to build towers and knocked them down, while others lined them up or used them to make simple shapes. The bead blocks were popular, with children shaking them to create soft sounds and repeating this action with excitement. Younger children explored by holding, shaking, and moving the blocks around the space, while older children showed more intention in their building and balancing. This experience supported their sensory exploration, fine motor skills, creativity, and early problem-solving skills.
Messy Painting

The eggs were placed in a tray with paint, and the children were encouraged to gently shake and move the tray to spread the colours. As they shook the tray, they watched the paint roll and cover the eggs, showing excitement and curiosity. Some children used both hands to move the tray, while others explored different speeds and movements. This experience supported their coordination, muscle development, and understanding of cause and effect, while also encouraging creativity through movement and colour. The children were engaged and enjoyed watching how their actions changed the patterns on the eggs.
Hoop and Ball Play Outdoors
Today, the children enjoyed an active outdoor play experience with hula hoops and balls. The hoops were placed on the floor, inviting the children to jump in and out of them.
