Buttercups

We are between the age of  20 months and  2 and a half years and definitely toddlers more than babies. We are learning so much and our room is full of areas to explore! We love using our imagination.

Sometimes we love to share and join in, other times we battle for superiority and want to win. Sometimes we make each other cry but lots of times we make each other laugh too because of the antics we get up to.

We still sleep after lunch and also have soft music. We still sit on smaller chairs but we can help ourselves to our cutlery and are gaining independence and confidence. We love to paint, play with water and sand, and we like glueing and drawing. We have our own kitchen and can cook if we want to (pretend that is!) and climbing things and construction toys and puzzles.

We do lots of things with colour and shape, but we love also to listen to stories and tapes, and sing, and dance, and play musical instruments. Our room is really noisy because we are doing something all of the time. That’s the good thing about us we learn quickly and our language lets us get the message across.

We are encouraged to become independent, have drinks whenever we want them and eat nicely. We say please and thank you but often have to be reminded.

Although we are learning lots all of the time, the key word is sociable in this room as that’s supposed to be one of the hardest development areas, so let us become sociable and then we’ll learn other things too.We look forward to going to Pooh Bears and we spend time with them often in the garden on the play equipment and riding around the grass.

We love being able to move around and enjoy the sun as well as the wet because each season brings new fun ideas. Beware when you come see us in Buttercups for you may get splashed!

By the way you can wear your shoes in our room if you wish to venture in.
