An invitation to play on St. Patricks day βοΈ
βοΈ Some coloured rice (green!) You can make your own easily - bowl of rice add paint and mix (easier if you pop it all into a freezer bag)
βοΈ Then mix bicarbonate of soda with paint/food colouring to a paste like consistency you can make them like small rocks.
βοΈ I hid little gems inside them π
βοΈ Then add vinegar (also make this green if you want)
βοΈ Droppers or spoons - you can always use the calpol syringe, cups, stones whatever you want then the kiddos can suck up the vinegar and dissolve the bicarbonate of soda and play away for ages π

Have a safe & happy Halloween π
Please don't make kids go, do, dress up, tell jokes, preform in any way or even go outside - its ok for them not to enjoy all of this! πΈ
It can be a very over stimulating time and can lead to very BIG feelings.
Give them a cuddle tell them these feelings are perfectly normal and offer them options to trick or treat early before the crowds or go home if it's just too much π
Enjoy the fun & frolicks - and remember your never too old to dress up and play! Xx
And.... mind your fur babies π

The sun isn't everyone's friend!!
We aren't great for the heat in Ireland (wel im not anyway!)... but taking a few mins to get organised for our kiddos before they head off for the day and when they get home can help them with the extra tiredness, emotional regulation and internal nagivation system that can come from playing in the sun or sitting in warm classrooms all day.
Hope this helps ans please add anything below that support you & your kiddos

Mind yourself, physically & emotionally, mentally this season can be overwhelming.
ππππππππππππ
Don't forget though keep an eye out on vulnerable family, friends & neighbours. π
ππππππππππππ
Most importantly do something that makes you happy π
Ps you don't need to constantly entertain especially your kiddos - make memories, go on adventures, play games, sit & cuddle π₯°
