Moondew Playgroup started again today. It is such a pleasure to spend time sharing stories, songs, food and play with these friends. Ned says "moondew friends" (trys to!) and is happy to see everyone and it means I get to 'keep my hand in' the world of early childhood education without having to put him in childcare.
Childcare- that is a whole other story and one I dont want to partake in with Ned.
(It is funny the amount of conversations I have with other early childhood/childcare teachers who have worked for years in good -and not so good- centres. The main topic of conversation is always how none of these mums ever want to put their own child into a childcare centre, and how many are restructuring their lives/ work situations/ mortgages etc to support this ideal. Childcare is such a controversial topic, isn't it. )
Anyway, here are some pictures of the resources/play things at Moondew.
Perhaps something might inspire you for your play set up at home.
It isn't my perfect set up, as I don't have a 'special, just for playgroup' room, but we do a good job of making do!!
(This was Henrietta's 6th birthday present - she is now 16-
so it takes pride of place in the Moondew lounge)
I love this swing on the treehouse!
2 thoughtful sentiments from YOU!:
Just recently found your blog. I'm in North Carolina and hoping to start a little farm and forest co-op soon. I'm finding alot of inspiration in reading it. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful photos. These are lovely! How was the large turtle (in the last photo) made? My boys love turtles.
Amber, did you knit the seven dwarves? My youngest saw those and wanted to get some. They are adorable!
