Playsets from nature, inspired by Reggio Emilia and loose parts concept.

We have started to appreciate rainy reason more because it gives us opportunities to learn about the weather and a bit of science. 🌧☂

When it is about to rain, we often encourage the little one to look at the sky and predict what is coming next. We ask questions like "do you think it's going to rain soon? Will it be wind, rain, thunder or lighting?" 🌩⚡

Yesterday morning, before the storm arrived, the little one said “The sky is very dark. 🌫 It's going to rain soon," and she was right. It was a dark sky with a grey-black shade. The clouds from our view looked like puffy pouches. The colours gave us clues as to what was coming! 💨

There are certain clouds that you only see during thunderstorms, 🌪 so we decided to explore more about clouds using playdough.

We used playdough to create a stormy clouds together. ⛈ We talked about the shapes and colours of the clouds in different weather.

It was so enjoyable to watch those little hands getting busy, forming the clouds, exploring colours and role-playing at the same time. This calming sensory activity is simple - perfect for a stormy day! 😌

📍 Materials we used:
* 4 colours of playdough (light and dark grey, black, white)
* Rubber wood (Cloud shape)
* Colour tablets for comparatives (darker and lighter)
* Chickpeas for rain drops
* 'Look Inside Wild Weather' a book by Emily Bone

If you are reading this post while it is raining, stay warm and cozy inside, grab some playdough, and let's play! 💦😍

🖐🏻 WHAT IS HANDS-ON LEARNING? Hands-on learn

🖐🏻 WHAT IS HANDS-ON LEARNING?
Hands-on learning is when children learn by doing.

HANDS ON DEVELOPS OUR BRAIN 🧠👀
Children are natural born explorers. When a child is really engaged in an activity, they take charge of their learning. They use their senses to absorb and discover the world, which is why hands-on learning is so beneficial - children learn through their sense of touch. Their hands are learning receptors, communicating messages of marvelous discoveries to the brain.

🏡 How can hands-on learning be implemented effectively at home?
We've been asked this question a lot, and your learning space needs to be structured to support hands-on learning. Young learners learn best when they are allowed to explore and move. A child needs space to move and not be static for long periods. Incorporate a diverse range of materials and open-ended resources, such as loose parts, playdough, art materials, geoboards, building blocks, etc.

💭 Here are some questions to think about before setting up your activities:

* Is it based on your child interests?
* Does it appeal to the senses?
* Is it age appropriate?
* Is it joyful?
* Does it invite your child to explore?
* Does it allow for trial and error?

📍Visit our ‘GUIDE’ for more inspiration on hands-on activities!

Since our daughter took a keen interest in the cac

Since our daughter took a keen interest in the cactus plant🌵, we came up with 'Colourful Geometric Boho Art' 😌 to further explore her interest.

Children as young as early toddlers are ready to explore basic geometric principles.

The boho style gave us freedom to express through combinations of colours and different kinds of geometric shapes. We both enjoyed exploring this expansive style together. 🥰🌸

Born out of a child's curiosity, this activity led to so many learning possibilities.
* Mixing colours 🖌
* Exploring geometric shapes 🟧🔸🟠
* Exploring shapes in nature 🌼🍂

🧵 ART = PROCESS not product

We believe that authentic preschool art is never meant to be perfect. There's a story behind every child's artwork, which is far more important than the result.

📍 MATERIALS:
* Mixing Colours Canvas from @life.littlelearners
* Geometric Boho Printable from @littlelegend.natureplay
* Handmade Nature Press from @littlelegend.natureplay
* Washable Acrylic Paint
* ‘Raising a Forest’ a book by Thibaud Hérem

* Geometric Wooden Stamp from @playandprove

Learning Values Through Play ♻️ The values our children learn now, will shape the entire future.

📍In the early years, children absorb the world through their senses and values are often developed through play.

Hands-on activities and a few well-chosen learning tools can solidify concepts, such as where our waste needs to go. 🌿🍂🪱

Young children form their own conclusions about what is important in life, based on everything they absorb, and experience for themselves consistently.

Let sustainability become our childrens' second language ♡
