Next week will be February half term break for many children. Some fun activities your little ones might want to try include…

🎂 Baking treats is a great way to support executive functioning skills (organising, planning), language development (taking about the different ingredients and the method) as well as reading skills (reading the recipe)

🪴 Gardening- as the weather is warming up here in the Costa del Sol, now is a great time to start planting seeds and flowers, supporting gross motor skills (body strength, coordination), manual dexterity (using tools for digging, sorting seeds with fingers) and sensory regulation (being outdoor in nature is a calming experience)

🚲 A family bike ride along the promenade to work on gross motor skills (co-ordination, balance, body strength)

🎨 Arts and crafts to get messy and work on fine motor skills (cutting and pasting, hand painting)

👫Play dates with friends to support social skills, communication skills emotional regulation

Shine Child Development will be open next week and so if you would like to arrange any last minute sessions, contact us today at admin@shinechilddevelopment.com

🌧️ Rainy Days = Stay Safe & Play Inside! 🌈

With the current rainstorm, we want to remind our families to stay safe, take care when travelling, and enjoy some cosy time indoors with your little ones.

Rainy days are a great chance for fun, connection, and creativity at home! Here are a few easy indoor activity ideas for babies and young children:

🖍️ Creative time – drawing, colouring, or sticker play
📚 Story time – snuggle up with favourite books
🎶 Music & movement – sing songs, dance, or action rhymes
🧸 Imaginative play – teddy bear picnics or role play
🧩 Puzzles & building – blocks, stacking, and problem-solving fun

Remember, simple play moments help support your child’s development just as much as big adventures.

Please stay safe, dry, and cosy
