TOTS & TALES KENT

We will be reading - Love Monster by Rachel Bright.

We will also be:

🌈 Heart Suncatchers

Children will tear and stick colourful tissue paper onto sticky heart shapes to create bright suncatchers for our windows, supporting fine motor skills while exploring colours and patterns.

💗 Love Monster Crafts

Inspired by Love Monster, children will design their own monsters using pink paper, googly eyes and pipe cleaners. We’ll talk about how everyone is different and unique, encouraging confidence and self-expression.

🎨 Heart Printing

Using heart-shaped sponges, potatoes and cardboard, children will dip and print with paint to create repeating patterns, encouraging creativity, sensory exploration and early mark-making.

❤️ Valentine Sensory Tray

Our sensory tray will be filled with red and pink rice, heart confetti, scoops, cups and Valentine treasures. Children will explore textures, practise pouring and scooping, and develop fine motor and early maths skills.

🍓 Pink Playdough Love

Children will roll, press and shape pink playdough using heart cutters, rolling pins, sequins and flowers. A gentle strawberry or vanilla scent will add an extra sensory element while strengthening little hands.

✨ Valentine Calm Bottles

We’ll also be making calming bottles filled with pink water, glitter and heart sequins, giving children a chance to shake, watch and relax as the glitter slowly settles.
