Chinese New Year...

Hey everyone! :)

On Wednesday we had a wonderful time at our second themed class... all activities based around 'Chinese New Year', here are a few photos:


All set up :) Can you spot our daughter Daisy?


Spaghetti and rice trays


 Daisy and daddy having some playdough fun!


Tissue paper strips and Chinese fans


Red & yellow playdough with gold & red glitter


Blue waterbeads and dragons


Some wonderful artwork! Cherry Blossom Trees and a dragon! :)

We gave out our brand new loyalty cards (please remember to bring them each time you come!) and the biscuits and juice went down a treat! (As well as the prawn crackers, although I think I must have eaten most of them! haha)

Our next class (Weds 25th) won't be themed, but will still be filled with messy and sensory fun! Our next themed class will be EASTER themed on Weds 1st April.

It's been an exciting post week so far! :)

We're thrilled to have been given the opportunity to review some sensory toys from the lovely people at BigJig Toys who are based in Folkestone. They sell a variety of bright and colourful toys for babies and toddlers ranging from wooden train sets to outdoor games, party bag fillers to things for children's bedrooms, all at great prices. Please go check out their website: http://www.bigjigstoys.co.uk


 For the purpose of our review we were kindly given the following:
- Belltree
- Animal Maracas
- Bruno Activity Cube
- Ice cream sandmould (x5 pieces)
- Assorted sandmoulds (x4 pieces)
- Animal Shape Lorry

As well as introducing these to our daughter Daisy, I will also be bringing them along to our sensory class next week for other babies and toddlers to play with them and tell me what they think :) I will write a dedicated blog post about this next week (watch this space!) and I will also be featured on Big Jig Toys 'Big Blog' (http://blog.bigjigstoys.co.uk) where I will be writing about the importance of sensory play... a link will follow shortly!

Also this week...

My super bright 'Sensory Sensations' t-shirt came... you won't miss me coming now! :) I had to order an X-Large, which still is a bit snug with my bump, haha, so I'm hoping when baby is here it will fit abit better!

Our last piece of news is that we are now able to offer mini professional photoshoots for your little ones in our classes from now on. My husband Tony is a filmmaker/photographer and has over 20 years experience making and editing videos and photos. He will spend 20 minutes with you & your child for a minimum of 5 professional photos (they will be colour graded, suitable for framing). This will cost just £20 as an introductory offer. If you would like to have some professional photos taken of you & your child whilst at our class, you will need to book a time slot inbetween 9:00am-11:30am, to avoid disappointment. Your mini photo shoot will take place on the stage, so away from all the messy play! The photos will then be emailed to you same day. :)

Please contact me to book a slot by email: sensorysensations@hotmail.com or through our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/sensorysensationsclasses ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Phew! It's all go! 'Zoom zoom zoom we're going to the moon... we'll get there very sooooon!'
