Our daycare week

 Washing/water play Tuesday- we washed our wooden blocks. In the water the blocks became all sorts of jumping and splashing animals!

 we also played with the silky chicks

Painting day Wednesday- finger painting!

I make up a cheap, easy and relatively natural (water based at least) finger paint using powder paints. It saves money by using little of the powder paint and also doesn't crack and crumble when dry like powder paint is notorious for.
here's the recipe-

2 heaped tea spoons of corn flour
3/4 cup water
a sprinkle of powder paint (technical measurement I know:)

Put corn flour in a glass and add enough water to dissolve it.
Add 3/4 cup of boiling water and stir.
Divide into bowls and add separate colours to each. It doesn't take much powder to get a nice colour
Let paint cool to a comfortable temperature. Its nice to use when its still warm

This amount makes a good amount for 1 or 2 children, I double it for 4

 Finger painting is lots of fun but I think they like cleaning their hands and paint bowls afterwards just as much!

Baking day Thursday- We had our first birthday for the year, little miss Rhylee turned 2!
For our baking activity we made wholemeal spelt carrot cakes and as you can see she enjoyed them!

Tomorrow we will be going walking and then polishing our wooden blocks.
Then ill be packing ready for a very fun weekend away
