In the kitchen area, they are still interested in the food, so I have added real food boxes to the play. (They have to be taped together - which I will do tomorrow).
Gross motor activities available include a number line and various sizes of hoops. Last week the children enjoyed creating a tunnel and going through, between, under, through and over as part of their play. We typically have 10 minutes of gross motor play at the end of the day with some type of movement/dance/game.
Beading is a great practice for fine motor skills.

Using the stamp cutters and cutting is available at this centre. The first step in cutting is often making a fringe, followed by random lines and eventually following a line.
Children have been exploring how colours mix using water colours. This will continue through the week.
Kinetic sand is on a table this week. I look forward to seeing the children engage with this sand and see how it
