These two cheeky chappies had busied themselves transporting all the Easter items from around their room into the cosy area.

They carefully arranged the different items all over the little sofa and they proudly told their friends and the grownups that they were ‘decorating for Easter’… What they created was brilliant!

They then used what they had created within their game as they pretend to role-play going to sleep and waiting for the Easter Bunny to come!!

We really hope the Easter Bunny hops into nursery tomorrow when we are all out and about (fingers crossed for no rain!!) parading around the village… Last year he was pesky and knocked over some paint on his way into nursery and he’d left painty footprints, but also lots of chocolate eggs for us all…. So we quickly forgave his mess!! xxxx

Climbing up onto the decking via the climbing wall before building and playing, under the cherry blossom, with bricks at the top? …… it’s a yes from us!! Xxxx

Bunnies, chicks, eggs and spring blossom blowing in the gentle breeze above us…. It’s beginning to feel a lot like Easter!! xxxx

Oh my how our caterpillars have grown… Cheeky Monkeys enjoyed having another good look at the caterpillars again recently to see how much they had grown and changed since they first got them and they were amazed at the changes they could observe!!

Whilst having a close look at the caterpillars they also explored the accompanying caterpillar tray; reading through the different books and looking at the toy butterflies and discussing what they will do when they are finally here!

It will be a magical moment when we release them to fly free into the skies above…

Springtime is so very exciting as we look closely at all the changes occurring in the wonderful world around us xxxx

In an open-ended creative way!!

Will our children scoop, pour, mix, empty, fill, stir, pat, will they build a sandcastle, or make a sand pie? Will it be cups of tea all around? (as Terrific Twos have now incorporated their sand tray with their kitchen units) Or will the people/animals/creatures/aliens explore the islands/mountains,/jungles, or will they whizz off into outer space? Will gems and jewels be buried and become the very best pirate treasure?!?!

Who knows?!? What we do know though is that whatever our children decide to do next it will certainly be exciting!! Xxxx
