✨NEW RESOURCE✨

Looking for an easy way to spark meaningful mat-time conversations? This resource encourages children to share what they already know about animals. Each card (27 animals in total) features a real-life image and space for you to record children's ideas. This is a great child-led, discussion-based approach.

Perfect for mat time, small group activities or animal inquiries 🐾. Support oral language, confidence, and thinking skills.

Lately, while looking for inspiration for new resources for tamariki, I've realised most use cartoon images which got me thinking.

I've decided that going forward, most of my resources - beginning with the 2 I created today, will feature real-life photographs. As a kaiako, I feel this supports tamariki to better connect their learning to the real world - helping build understanding, language, and recognition in a more meaningful way.

I want my resources to feel natural, inclusive, and truly useful in everyday learning spaces, whether that's at home or in an ECE setting. 💛💚

With the heat making everyone a little tired and grumpy, I created a new set of Emotion Cards to help tamariki talk about how they were feeling instead of acting it out💛.

I printed the cards out for my 4 year old this afternoon, and they were a total hit for him⭐️. I enjoyed asking what he thought each one meant. His answers were thoughtful and honest, and gave me a sneak peak into how he sees feelings and experiences.

These moments remind us that children don't always need the right words - sometimes they just need the right tools🌱

I have been working on making the website easier to navigate, so all new resources will now appear on the home page🌿.

I've also just added "Aroha for Tamariki" - printable cards to teach tamariki what aroha looks like in everyday moments. Lulu the friendly monster shows us how we demonstrate kindness and aroha through simple, positive actions.

Perfect resource to use for Valentine's Day💚.
