Outdoor Sand Pit - Cover?
by Guest- 3 replies
- 1.9k views
Hi, we were told some years ago that outdoor sand pits should not be covered as the condensation formed on the inside of the lid contains a bacteria which can make children poorly. This info came from a advisory teacher but im struggling to see why so many places provide pits with lids if this is the case. Is this a Old Wifes Tale again ???

I just "bumped" into this web site and wondered if any of you have used it before. Twinkl Some resources are only available if you download the "Twinklbar"??? I don't want to be paranoid, but Twinkl sounds like Sparkle and both with required toolbars? If I am wrong, please correct me.

Idea's For New Building Please
by Guest- 1 reply

We are moving into a new building where we are going to create two corners, one for our two year olds and one for 3-4 year olds. There will also be lots of mixed play during the day. One corner we are going to buy low levels units that we can then turn into a home corner/vets/doctor etc. the other corner we were thinking of making more sensory but are struggling as the building is very light with lots of windows. We have a small dark den, thought about hanging materials, light box and light tube etc but what else could we put in there. Any help would be appreciated.

Need New Play Rugs/mats

A couple of our play rugs got damaged in a burst pipe incident and we are going to claim to replace them on the insurance. Can anyone recommend some good ones before I spend hours on google? The ones we are replacing have roads and towns on them but they don't have to be exactly the same. We use them for small world and book corner.

We are after some plastic jugs that have a screw top lid but that pour without having to take the lid off (hope that makes sense) Can get ones that the lid just sits on top but the little ones keep tipping too far and the lid falls off. any ideas where to get them?
