We have all been spending more time at home lately to stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

All of us at the nursery hope that you and your families are well.

We have made a list of activities for you to try at home with your children. We hope it will inspire you in supporting your children’s learning.

• To support communication skills, try storytelling with homemade puppets – use old socks, lolly stick and straws.
• To improve literacy, show your child pictures and ask them to explain what is happening in the picture.
• To help your child’s understanding of the world, freeze small toys in ice and work out how to get them out of the ice together or, plant some seeds and watch them grow.
• To improve physical development, make jewellery with your child by threading pasta on to wool or string.
• For a fun activity that helps with creativity, make up your own words to nursery rhyme tunes.

We hope you give these fun activities a try! We can’t wait to see the results once we are all back at the Nursery.
