With the cooler winds blowing and Old Man Winter about, some children gravitate to more inside play where the heaters are keeping our cottage toasty warm. In the pictures above (clockwise from top), Mercury has built the biggest ‘dragon’ we have ever seen out of the blocks. Pippa is ‘telling us a story’ with our new story pieces, hand felted by Quinn’s and Neela’s Mum Karuna. Shearwater graduate and playgroup parent, Cobberty, shows us how to finger-knit the fastest way. Raffaella and Ayla are experiencing the colours carmine and ultramarine, which together make many shades of purple. Elara and Taloe are using the same colors and creating their own unique tones.
Ren has a handle on the nutcracker and is helping the younger children to get a macadamia nut out of its hard shell. Raffaella is collecting some flowers in the garden, but not too many, as the busy bees will need flowers to make honey, particularly over the winter months. Ren and Taloe are and enjoying a leisurely swing and keeping ‘warm’ wrapped up in the hammock (kindly donated by Susan).
Warmly,
