Hello, little engineers!

This week, we’re diving into the wonderful world of bridges—those incredible structures that help us cross rivers, roads, and even oceans. Have you ever wondered how bridges hold up all those cars, bikes, and people?

Let’s learn about bridges then locally explore some!

Rock pools are fascinating! They’re like tiny underwater worlds filled with amazing creatures, and they change all the time.

Why do rock pools exist?

Rock pools form in dips and cracks in rocks along the shore. When the tide comes in, seawater covers everything. But when the tide goes out, some water stays behind in these little pools—creating a special home for sea creatures!

Sensory play is a fantastic way to introduce STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) concepts to toddlers in a hands-on and engaging way. By allowing little ones to explore different textures, materials, and reactions, you help them develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and early scientific thinking. Here are three easy and fun STEM-related sensory play ideas to try with your toddler!

Ever noticed your child obsessively spinning wheels, lining up toys, or carrying random objects across the room? These aren’t just quirks—they’re schemas, the patterns kids use to explore and understand the world.

By tapping into these natural tendencies through sensory play, you can turn their favourite activities into engaging learning moments. From bubble chasing for movers to spin art for little twirlers, schema-based play is the secret to fostering creativity, problem-solving, and endless fun.

When it comes to engaging activities for babies and toddlers, sensory play is a powerful tool. It stimulates cognitive, emotional, and physical development while keeping little ones entertained.

Messy play is one of the most exciting and beneficial activities for babies and toddlers. From squishing paint to splashing water, these sessions provide a sensory-rich experience that fosters creativity, exploration, and learning.

Sensory play refers to activities that engage one or more of a child’s senses—sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing, and even movement. It’s vital for early development, helping babies and toddlers learn about their environment while building essential skills like problem-solving, motor coordination, and language.
