Months of wonderful outdoor play beckon us and in celebration of that I've selected a range of activities from the past two link-ups for this week's Tuesday Tutorials.
Ten Small World Play Scenes (Tuesday Tutorials)
Summer's coming and it's time for us to dust off the Step2 water table in order to create some fun small world play scenes. I love using my imagination to come up with scenes that The Boy would really like to play with.
Exploring Science: Activities for Children (Tuesday Tutorials)
This week in Tuesday Tutorials I'm bringing you a round-up of some of my favourite posts from the previous week, focusing on science exploration using everyday household and kitchen objects. Easy peasy!
Spring Activities for Children (Tuesday Tutorials)
The past week has seen some absolutely glorious Spring days. Not over the weekend unfortunately, but there have been glimpses of warmth and golden sunshine and new life.
With that in mind, I've selected my favourites from last week's Tuesday Tutorials link-up to celebrate the advent of my favourite season.
STEM Activities For Children (Tuesday Tutorials)
Following a really successful STEM week in my school a few weeks ago, The Boy has been keen to explore as many different elements of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths as possible. Most children enjoy picking apart how something works and creating, and it's so important to nurture these creative and analytical skills.
This week on Tuesday Tutorials I'm pulling together a range of crafts and play activities which celebrate STEM!
Engineering With Aluminium Foil (STEM Activities)
Every time we cross the Second Severn Bridge to England, The Boy is fascinated how a 1km long road can be held up by two posts 'and a few wires'. He's asked a few times if we can make a bridge like it, and I'd seen an idea recently about using aluminium foil to construct with so decided to combine the two together.
Pebble Pets – Memory Stones
Living by the sea, pebbles are a ready resource and a frequent play resource when we are on the beach. Our local beach is crammed packed full of lovely rounded, grey pebbles; the type that are perfect for painting!
Child-Friendly Food: 6 Easy Recipes (Tuesday Tutorials)
I'm very excited to be joining the Tuesday Tutorials Pin Party team; a wonderful linky which runs every Tuesday for instruction based posts of some kind, usually crafts, recipes or learning through play opportunities. The linky opens every Tuesday where I will share posts from the previous week's linky on a chosen theme.
