I have been so pleased with this years sunflowers. They have been growing steadily since we first planted them. I think any day now we can expect to see some beautiful yellow blooms. Watch this space!

Sowing and Growing: Cress Heads
Here at Aston Childcare we have had great fun growing these fun Cress Heads.
We filled our pots with soil and sprinkled a generous amount of seeds on top. We watered our pots and then covered them with a piece of paper and secured with an elastic band. We then popped them up on a sunny windowsill and waited. In just a few days the paper on my sons pot was bulging and he was so excited to take the paper off and see the cress beneath. My seeds took a few days longer to grow but still a great result.
These are great for kids as a first gardening project and super easy. These pots just have mine and my sons name on but you could go to town on your plant pot with stickers, paint and pens to make them extra fun if you wished.
Cooking with kids: Paw Patrol Cupcakes
Whilst the baby had her nap this afternoon, the elder children loved making these Paw Patrol Cupcakes.
They loved the blue icing and the edible Paw Patrol characters and loved eating them at the end even more!
Fine Motor Skills: Bead Bracelets
The children had lots of fun putting their fine motor skills to good use in making these bead bracelets and necklaces at the start of the Summer Holidays.
Didn’t they do well?!
