Looking for some outdoor play toys for daycare, or home? Do you often wonder what new shiny toys you can buy for the children at home or childcare?
There is no need to spend big dollars on plastic fantastic or even purpose made children’s toys that get used a few times and then forgotten about. Why not pull out those left over pavers you have hiding down the side of the shed and let the children explore with them along side the leaves and trees.
The children at Ballajura childcare Centre had some great fun with some old pavers and here is what will they learn from this……..
- mathematics skills – counting, shape recognition, weight, pattern, problem solving
- social skills – working as a team
- language skills – communicating ideas
- science skills – material matter
- creative skills – texture…………………. and many, many more
Next time you are looking at what you can get for the children to play with, look no further than your garden.
Happy recycling and learning.

It is interesting to think about how are we being ‘made’ to raise our children, when people in suits are taking the fun and play out of childhood! (more…)

So you may have seen in the media over the past few days that the Australian Greens released survey results showing that places for babies at childcare had reduced nationally in recent times – 10% they claim.

The cost of child care is often overstated in the mass media, and just as often understated by Ministers and the Government of the day when they are talking about what a great job they are doing as opposed to their predasessors. The true cost of childcare is a very individual calculation, hopefully this article will give you a little more insight into how childcare fees work and what it is likely to cost you, your real out of pocket childcare cost.
