Bubbles, Bubbles!


We're LOVING Family Time here at Serendipity Studio! 

We've been focussed on Bathtime for the past couple of weeks, and have been brainstorming loads of ways to make splashing in the bath even more fun than it is already is!

A few of our fantastical ideas:
  • Make soap pens! Using empty liquid glue pens (well washed!), mix together clear liquid soap, detergent, or shampoo, and add a few drops of food colouring. Give it a good shake, and you have a soap pen! Best just to write on the bath itself, or the glass door - just in case the colouring stains the shower walls ;) 
  • Make bath finger paint! Mix soap/detergent/shampoo, food colouring, and a little cornflour together to make a paste. Use as above!
  • Blow bubbles! Get pieces of food grade hosing in different widths & lengths. Blow bubbles!
  • Cooking Time! An old fashioned hand beater is an awesome bathtime accessory - mix up the bubbles :)
  • Row your Boat - best with two! Play, sing and splash away!
  • Blow bubbles - take your bubble mix and wand into the bath, it doesn't matter if it gets spilled!
We'd love to hear your suggestions - if you have a fun bathtime idea, feel free to add it to the comment section.

Have a musical day!

Creatures in my Backyard!


What will we see in term three?

Look up high in the trees! Now see what's down on the ground..Dedicated to the great outdoors, the environment, and our many animal friends, Creatures in My Backyard is full of songs, finger-plays, nursery rhymes, musical stories & dances that will inspire toddlers & their parents to explore, wonder & discover the wonders of the natural world.


As many of you will know, our classes will be taking a break later this year while I add another little person to our Kindermusik Family! 

This is one of the reasons I've chosen Creatures for term three, as it's an extra special five week programme for our very special toddlers, aged 18 months - 3. 

This is a very special programme indeed - as well as your usual At Home Materials, for the first time you'll have access to Kindermusik's brand new, state of the art, digital home materials! You'll find videos, activities, stories, tips and developmental information especially for our class. 

Kindermusik's dedication to providing you with the best ever programme means that our curricula are now being updated constantly - meaning you get the benefit of our ongoing research and expertise :) Pretty exciting stuff!
