Learning about shapes

Last week, we had lots of fun learning all about the geometrical shapes such as: circle, square, rectangular, and triangle 🔺️ 😀. For arts and crafts, we had drawn shapes using the geometrical inserts from our Montessori material, painted using the wooden blocks of different shapes and colours. For our sensory play, we had a competition through which we had to match the different shaped wooden blocks to their matching drawn shapes on a big poster, and then we coloured them.

Also, of course, we enjoyed our garden time, disco dancing, games, and playing with our friends 🧡.

Haloween

Halloween is such a fun and special time of year for our little ones at Little Stars on the Lane. We get to really use our imagination and have so much fun.
