Hello There!!!

We are back!!! We had a summer break because, mummy needs to rest too and we are back! How was your summer holiday? We made a slight change to the 52 weeks theme-based toddler homeschooling activities for the rest of the year.

Here is our updated list but our Sections is the same. So, let's go to the theme for the week!

Fine Motor: Coloured rice sensory bin, pouring and dumping, animal hunting
Gross Motor: Horse back ride, act like an animal
