We had our last playgroup of the term today with a visit from the Easter Bunny! We also did some amazing painting and made some Easter baskets and played with all the toys. Today I shared some cheap & easy jelly-jube lollies using one packet of jelly crystals, 2 tablespoons of gelatine powder and 1/2 cup of hot water. This was poured into silicone moulds and set in the fridge for an hour. If your child likes chewy things, this could be the trick! 👍

We resume playgroup on Tuesday 29th April. Happy Easter, everyone!! 🐰

We had fun at playgroup this morning making some green (and other coloured) sheep, then mixing up some chocolate-banana oat muffins, and then the mums made some 'self care' bags with ideas to try at home. Thanks to Emma from Rural Outreach & Support Service for this ongoing theme. The kids actually liked these choc-banana muffins, which are low in sugar with high fibre! The recipe is as below (we doubled it and didn't spill any oats on the ground this time):

2 1/4 cups of rolled oats (we used half oats and half self-raising flour)
2 ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (we used white choc chips)

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
Add oats to blender and blend so they are like flour
Add remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and blend again
Pour into a large bowl (if the blender is getting too full) and add the chocolate chips, stirring lightly
Pour batter into patty pans/ greased muffin trays
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a knife stuck in the top comes out clean
Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 5 - 10 minutes 😋

We had a focus on "Everyone Belongs" in playgroup today for Harmony Week as well as some nachos for morning tea, with a nod to the various cultures we enjoy in Australia.

The dinosaurs were let loose at playgroup today! We had dinosaur cut-outs, dinosaurs in the sandpit, and even dinosaur nuggets to eat! Then we read about the 10 Little Dinosaurs who had amazing adventures (but came home safely to Mum) 😃

We had a playgroup full of adventure today as we explored the toys outside and in, made some Valentine's bunting and had some pikelets with strawberries and cream. We are heading to the pool next week, weather permitting! 🤞
