On our nursery page today Saffrons Park Nursery, we have written a post about one of our favourite resources.
🏝️ Sand 🏝️
We love sand and we wanted to share some of our set ups and ideas for you to try at home or in your settings.
🧡Early Years Educators:
Try and create a large scale sand area in one of your environments. If you do this outside then think about the best way to keep it covered at night. Why not try creating a contained space and putting the sand straight on the floor? We do this with all age children.
🧡Parents:
Why not try a small tray of sand and add some every day items that will encourage your child to scoop, fill, empty and pour, such as spoons, cups, etc. Maybe have a look and see what is in your recycing; egg boxes, empty herb jars, plastic fruit tubs, yoghurt pots etc - all of these items are great to use in the sand.
