Movement + rhythm help children develop phonological awareness, which supports early reading. Singing repetitive songs strengthens memory and sequencing. Dancing to music improves coordination and focus. Music supports emotional expression — children can “show” feelings when they can’t yet name them. Interactive singing (copying, call-and-response) strengthens listening and turn-taking skills essential for conversation.

Sensory Food Exploration - Taste Tray Provide taste, touch, smell, and colour experiences with safe raw ingredients using a taste tray! You can use anything you have, including a muffin oven tray. Make sure that whilst your preschooler is sampling foods, you are encouraging descriptive language (soft, crunchy, juicy, smooth, etc.). Some taste test ideas could include; crackers, cheese, sliced ham, pickles, olives, melon, carrots, celery, apple, raisins, popcorn, cottage cheese, marshmallows, raw peppers etc. Printable: Protein & Fat Food Wordsearch Activity Sheet Print off this food-inspired wordsearch, and let your preschoolers enjoy! To level up this activity, you could even have samples of each food item, so once they have found the word in the wordsearch, they can try and see whether they like that food item!

Smelling Jars are a great sensory tool that allows preschoolers to identify and compare different scents, learning to discriminate between them. It also improved memory, focus, builds cognitive association and promotes independent learning. We would recommend using strong scents ( essential oils on cotton wool, kitchen spices, citrus fruits, vanilla extract, but the options are endless!). To expand on this activity, ask your child to play a matching game! Print off photos of the items you select, and see if they can identify the hidden scent to the correct photo.

  • Gardening & Nature Activities | Ducklings Preschool

    Explore the outdoors and help teach the future generation to become more environmentally aware, through the use of simple gardening activities, nature hunts, and hands-on learning ideas to help preschoolers discover the natural world. Outdoors, Gardening & Nature Ducklings Gardeners projects engage all sorts of senses and help children to develop and recognise them without even realising. Being exposed to new textures like soil, flowers, seeds, and petals, these hands-on experiences are learning opportunities that also increase their environmental awareness and teach nutrition by connecting growing food with the importance of a good diet. We aim to teach our children and the future generation to be environmentally aware.

Not only do the children love to be outdoors and see all the nature, they also love getting their hands muddy helping out in growing the fruits and vegetables, and they love the storytimes there. If you'd love to see some Ducklings Staff reading popular stories at the allotment click here. Project: Build a Bug House Building a bug house only requires an open-fronted box – the rest is found in your garden already! Twigs, pine cones, stones, broken pots, cardboard toilet rolls, drilled pieces of wood, dried grass, old bricks, the options are endless, and will help attract ladybirds, butterflies, woodlice, solitary bees, dragon flys, and if you're lucky, the occasional toad, mouse, or hedgehog! Project: Build a pond in a pot Building a pond in a pot is super simple and requires little effort to maintain if done correctly! Get a large, shallow container with no drainage holes, and add a selection of pond and marginal plants, plus an oxygenator to help keep the water clear and odourless. Once set up, move the pond pot in a slightly shaded area, avoid full sunlight, and top up with water whenever needed. There pot ponds will help attract birds, insects, and other forms of wildlife, while also being a ton of fun to build for kids who love getting wet and muddy. For complete instructions click here. Project: Make Fat Cakes for birds Birds love fat cakes, as they give them energy and help keep them warm. and these feeding balls don't need to be shop bought; you can use all sorts of kitchen scraps such as cheese, dried fruits, and dry porridge oats. Just mix with melted lard or suet in old yogurt containers with a string, and set in the fridge overnight. For more instructions click here. Project: Make a Bee Hotel Offer solitary bees five-star accommodation with an easy-to-make bee hotel! Use anything for the frame - an wooden box or an old bird house for example, so uncycle it to become a home for solitary bees which help pollinate local plants! Full the frame with brown paper, pencils, bamboo canes, plant stems, drilled pieces of hardwood or logs, and let the bees move in! For more instructions, click here. Project: Make a Bird Bath Birds need water for many more reasons than just hydration. In the winter, birds will bathe to clean their feathers so they can fly further, and in the summer, birds will use water to help cool themselves down. All you need is a terracotta pot and saucer, and all-purpose glue and you're good to go! Simply flip the pot upside down, and glue the saucer on top of it (like in the photo below). Add in some rocks for small birds to land on, and top up with water whenever required! For more ideas click here .
