Here are top tips for parents to do at home

• Can your toddler help you make a picnic?  Support them to chop some fruit and vegetables or make some sandwiches for a picnic.
• Using strips of paper, show your toddler how to weave the paper together to make a pattern like a picnic basket.
• Hide some toy teddies around your inside and outside area for your little one to “rescue”.
• Talk to your toddler about why bears have fur.  Explore some different materials with your little one, how do the materials feel? Use the language “rough”, “soft”, “smooth”, etc.
