Exciting Adventures at Fun Box Day Nursery: Fine Motor Fun, Food Tasting & Creative Play!

Another busy week at Fun Box Day Nursery

Food Tasting

It’s been another action-packed week at Fun Box Day Nursery, with plenty of learning, laughter, and hands-on experiences! Following last week’s theme, we continued our celebrations for the Year of the Snake with some adventurous food tasting. The children had the opportunity to explore new flavours and textures, trying out unique vegetables such as water chestnuts, beansprouts, and bamboo shoots. Of course, the biggest hits were the ever-popular noodles, egg fried rice, and prawn crackers! 🥢😋

Fine Motor Fun

Our fine motor skills practice took a fun (and slightly messy!) turn with a noodle challenge in our sensory tray. Using chopsticks, the children worked on their hand-eye coordination by picking up and transferring colourful noodles—an engaging way to build dexterity while having lots of fun!

Worm Hunting in the Garden

Out in the garden, our young explorers put their skills to the test once again, this time with a wriggly worm hunt in the compost trays. But don’t worry—no real worms were harmed! Instead, we used coloured spaghetti as a safe and playful substitute. Equipped with tweezers, the children carefully picked them up, further developing their fine motor precision while enjoying a sensory-rich experience. 🌱🐛

Creative Bubble Painting

Meanwhile, our creative corner was buzzing with excitement. Lately, the children have been fascinated by tools—hammers in particular! So when we were given a huge roll of bubble wrap, our brilliant deputy Lena came up with a fantastic idea: bubble wrap painting! 🎨 Armed with hammers, paint, and boundless enthusiasm, the children explored colours, textures, and cause-and-effect while creating their own unique artwork.

It’s been a truly wonderful week filled with new experiences, skill-building, and plenty of giggles. We can’t wait to see what next week brings! Stay tuned for more adventures at Fun Box Day Nursery. 😊
