Happy World Kindness Day! 💛

From our team: tiny acts of kindness grow big life skills such as empathy, listening, self-regulation, and confident communication.

Try these today:
🩷 Kind words countdown: say 3 specific compliments.
💜 Listening like a statue: 5 calm breaths, eyes/ears ready, then reflect back what you heard.
💚 Share & swap: take turns with a favourite toy or activity.
🩵 Note of thanks: draw or write a quick “thank you” for a teacher, carer, or friend.

Let’s spread kindness everyday! 🌟

Play Pick of the Week: Dancing Caterpillar 🐛

A wobbly, giggly fine-motor challenge! Stack as many balls as you can on the caterpillar’s hand! Slow, smooth, steady wins.

Make it easier:
    •    Use your fingers to pinch while the caterpillar gently dances.
    •    Or use the matching tweezers with the caterpillar still (no dancing).

Extra challenge:
    •    Use the tweezers while the caterpillar dances! 💪

Great for pincer grasp, hand strength, focus, and patience.
(Heads up: small parts. Adult supervision needed.)
