Rain

14degC outside. And plenty of rain - thank you, God!

A good day for a tidy up inside. Starting with the activity shelves. These are sooo useful for pre-school / kindergarten aged children. The shelves currently have:

• some simple puzzles
• dominoes
• craft punches
• a photo albumn
• colourful wooden blocks
• coloured dice (they love this one - don't ask me why!)
• matchsticks to feed through a hole in a box
• playdough with a few accessories (the one most played with)
• a box of cheap toy cars
• shells
• buttons
• beads
• rock collections
• bottles and a dropper to transfer liquid from one container to another
• seed pod collections
• magnetic pictures and letters (with board)
• a small blackboard (mostly used for water painting)
• a good supply of messy mats

We also have an activity box outside, as that's where they play most of the time. It has chalk, dirt trucks, and gardening/digging tools.
