Physical development
If you have some playdough , press it down onto the table and put in some dried spaghetti , try threading cheerio's or pasta onto the spaghetti.
Practise those fine motor skills!!
Mathematics
Can you stamp your big Gruffalo feet and count as you stomp? stomp around the house, stomp outside or stomp up the stairs. Keep practicing your counting to ten! You should all be amazing at counting to 10 by the time you come back to nursery. Me and Miss Tully can not wait to hear you counting .
Out and About
Go out on a winter walk , what can you see , what can you find. Look for a spiders wed, can you find and ice or icicles, talk to your parent/carer about what you can see and hear .
Find a stick while you are out , turn it into a magic wand. Collect leaves, flowers and natural objects to stick onto your wand. You could even add some ribbon, wrapping paper or craft materials to your stick.
Lets get Messy
Try making your own playdough at home with your adult. after you have made it you can try making the animals from the The Gruffalo story . Send me some pictures of you making the playdough and what you have made .

Whit Toowhoo Sandwiches
Take two slices of bread and fill with your favourite filling, Cut the two bottom corners off to create a triangular base. At the top of the sandwich, remove the crusts and round off the edges so that you have a rounded top. Place two slices of cucumbers, topped with carrot slices and blueberries as the eyes. Using carrot slices and a sharp knife cut out a triangle for the owl's nose and the feet. To create the wing effect simply pull the bottom triangles out as in the picture.
