This Month’s Edition
Welcome to the August edition of the
As the hot weather continues for most of us, we bring you some fantastic ideas for activities for the children to do – not just within your setting, but that can be shared with parents as they prepare for the long school holiday. There are around six weeks of summer holidays – that’s 42 days to fill!
We look at some of the more traditional ways to keep the little ones occupied, like keeping a summer scrapbook, or holding a teddy bears’ picnic. These give such wonderful opportunities for making precious memories, at the same time as keeping their creative and literacy skills alive. More ideas can be found on page 16 – one for every day of the holiday – and all can be done on even the smallest of budgets!
We really hope you enjoy all the new stories, advice articles and craft activities in this month’s magazine – all of which are written to help you with the efficient running of your setting and to promote the health, happiness and wellbeing of the children in your care.
