Find the right activity for right now

Collect acorn caps in autumn and spin them like tiny spinning tops on a flat surface.

After reading a favourite story, act it out together — your child becomes the main character and relives the plot.

Sing Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, Wheels on the Bus, and Five Little Ducks back to back — non-stop movement and language.

Sing nursery rhymes with matching actions and movements — active learning through music and play.

When your toddler says a word, you add one more — 'car' becomes 'fast car!' — gently expanding their sentences.

Use big, fast brush strokes on large paper to express angry feelings through colour and movement — a safe outlet for fury.

Redirect big feelings into loud, satisfying stomps along a path.

Waddle like a duck, hop like a frog, gallop like a horse — follow a trail of animal cards and move like each creature.
