Spring Blossom Tree

This collage is very easy to make and it can show the children different sizes of petals, so that they distinguish between the big petals, the medium ones and the small ones.

Cut a round piece a paper and put glue near to its edges. Then, sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon ground on the circle made out of glue. When its all covered, shake the paper upside down so that the excess of nutmeg is removed. Leave it aside.

You may want to decorate the card a bit more and put a bit of colour on it. I put some random glue at the bottom of the page and glued some dried sage and cut some onion bag stripes (when you buy a bag of onions, the ‘bag’ is usually like a net, coloured red or gold and i absolutely love it for making decorations with children because it is glossy and when you cut the net it looks spiky).

Kids adore singing games because they're so much fun, and they get to move around and laugh a lot. Singing games also have lots of repeating parts, making it easy for children to join in when they feel comfortable, all while learning valuable social and interaction skills.

We have a deep appreciation for the playful nature of this adorable finger-play routine, as it also serves as an excellent tool to develop essential numeracy skills in young learners.

It's truly remarkable how, with minimal effort, educators can impart valuable knowledge to children by integrating music into their daily routine. Join us as we explore the delightful "Chook, Chook, Chook" finger-play and its educational significance

If you go in the park or in your garden, its impossible not to find some dandelions that you can collect and then make any collage you can think of, using them. First of all, its an opportunity for a toddler to learn more words and concentrate on one things when he goes for walks, and secondly, once the collage is done he can tell everyone that he collected the plants and then he made the card!
