Exposing children to Aboriginal artwork offers numerous benefits. It fosters appreciation for diverse cultures, promotes creativity and imagination, encourages respect for nature and the environment, and provides opportunities for learning about Indigenous history, stories, and traditions.

Have you thought about establishing a Community Garden within your service?  It is such a wonderful way to create a sense of belonging, children will love to offer the herbs/vegetables/flowers to Adults and it is perfect to invite parents/grandparents or members of the local community to share their knowledge with the children and educators alike.  It really does build a great sense of Pride.

A mirror is great for exploring small, interesting loose parts. Try painting clouds on the sky it is a terrific mix of sensory play and art.  The blue sky reflecting in the mirror provides the perfect surface for painting big, fluffy clouds.  A mirror is a wonderful place for children to explore seasonal materials.  Try a  mix of natural and artificial items for the nature table.  The colours and textures are made even more interesting by the mirrored surface beneath them. A paintbrush glides so smoothly over the mirror is lovely too.  This activity always keeps the kids busy and entertained for ages.  And when we’re finished, simply wash the mirror in soapy water and soft cloth and it  is ready for another fun day in the future

Why we need to encourage recycling in a child's early years. The skills children learn from recycling will create a sustainable world for them and future generations to live in. They will develop a greater appreciation for the way things work, and a better understanding of our precious ecosystem. How to start Start this learning in the early years of a child's life.  If a child is old enough to clear away their own mess and put something in the bin, they're old enough to learn about recycling. Buy the right bin, and label it so it is a visual reminder of what items go in it. Encourage children to donate cloths and toys to charity stores
