I have a very creative friend (artist, musician, singer) who has worked in the past on small projects with nurseries and children's centres. She would like to do a lot more of this! Does anyone know of an agency/official organisation that she could contact to "get on their books"?

Flubber

Have you ever made flubber? It's a fascinating and fun sensory material made by mixing 1 cup of PVA glue with cups of water in the first bowl along with a dash of food colouring or paint if you want, in a 2nd container mix 2/3 cup of warm water with 2 level tsp of borax. Then pour mixture 2 into mixture one and stir as it starts to change straight away. In less than 2 minutes you have a stretchy, gloopy, squishy ball of flubber! I made one pink and one green batch today ready to use tomorrow. According to my internet searches it washes out of clothing easily (I guess depending on what sort of colouring you used). Borax is available from the pharmacy dept of your che…

Hi - looking for some inspiration with a slightly tricky activity request... I have been asked to spend a little time each week encouraging foundation stage children to practice letter formation (in particular, concentrating on the letters of their name) I usually work with a teacher who really understands the EYFS ethos of learning through play - but this activity will be for a teacher who is a little more 'traditional' - shall we say! (in Yr R of Infant school)) I generally offer activities that involve the children being hands-on, messy and tactile but the teacher is not allowing many materials (compost, shaving foam, cornflour to name a few) I am looki…

Hi, Has anyone got any ideas what activities I can do with Reception children reguarding rememberance day? We do not have any children with father's in the army but I feel that they should know why we wear poppies and feel that a short two min talk to them about them is not enough. Would it be okay to say the reason why we wear poppies is to remember people who have died in the war? I dont want to scare them or worry them (you can tell this is my first ever class cant you lol) I was thinking about telling them a small statement like that and then getting them to colour in a poppy or something? OR should I just skip over it? It does not feel right doing that t…
