🐸 Five Frogs on a Log 🍃🌸

Bring a favourite rhyme to life with this hands-on, playful resource! Perfect for extending mathematical learning and language development, children will love singing Five Little Speckled Frogs while physically moving the frogs from the log into the “cool pool” below. 🎶💦

It’s a fun and active way to support early counting, one-to-one correspondence, taking away, and rhythm—while also encouraging imaginative play and social interaction.

How many frogs are left on the log? Let’s count together! 🐸💚

Tumbledown Tower 🍃

Who could be lurking in the tower? You could use an ogre, a dragon, a wolf or a group of goblins. Or maybe some forgotten treasure is hidden inside waiting to be discovered.

🌍 Happy International Mud Day! 🌿💦

There’s no better way to connect with nature than by getting hands-on in the mud - and our resources love a little dirt too!

Whether they are creating muddy meals, bug habitats, or simply feeling the textures between their fingers, every moment is full of discovery and delight.

Mud is more than mess — it’s learning, play, and connection with the world around us. 💚

🐛 Celebrating National Insect Week in the most magical way! 🐞🦋🌿

What a wonderful bug exploration setup by @little_house_on_the_green — a true celebration of the fascinating world of insects and their vital role in our ecosystems. 🌼🍃

The children had the best time going on a minibeast hunt, using magnifying lenses to discover tiny creatures hiding beneath leaves and in the grass. 🔍🐜 The adventure didn’t stop there - they explored textures with bug-themed playdough, matched minibeasts to sensory stones, and created their own insect-inspired art using nature’s treasures. 🪲
