Here’s a little fun playtime package to use at home. A colouring sheet, Welcome to my home, and The Block Song. The on-line newsletter reminds us how important playing is, and the interaction we have with our tamaiti while they play.

You could take some time to colour in the Welcome to my home and if your child is old enough, talk about what they think makes your home a welcoming place. Then get out the blocks and model what the lyrics are stating for The Block Song.
