Why can’t reindeers be blue? Make Christmas crafts about enjoyment rather than the end product.

Annie Tierney, Head of Operations, speaks about how easy it is for us to lose sight of what is important for the child when making Christmas crafts, and focus too much on creating something for the parents or a display board. When we do this, we are only thinking about the end product and not on the child’s creativity, imagination and the benefits which they gain through being able to freely be involved in arts, crafts and creative activities.

Learning about colours

This activity provide an opportunity to explore a few different colours at a time and can be tailored to the child's age and development.
