Little Buckets Kinross

Today our toddlers learned an important life skill – blowing their own noses!

With winter here, we talked about the importance of keeping warm and helping to stop the spread of germs by coughing and sneezing into our elbows and using tissues when we have runny noses.

The children practised coughing into their elbows before having a go at blowing their noses with a tissue. Some children are still developing the blowing motion, so we worked with them individually, demonstrating and encouraging them along the way.

It’s wonderful to see our little learners building independence and healthy habits as they grow.

Little Buckets Kinross is a small, family-run early learning centre just near Currambine Train Station and close to the freeway.

We’ve got a close-knit team, with many of the same educators caring for the children each day, so little ones get to build familiar, trusting relationships and feel comfortable when they arrive.

It’s a warm, relaxed environment where children are supported as they learn and grow at their own pace and families are always part of the journey too.

Last week at Little Buckets, we explored Aboriginal art and culture through a hands-on creative experience.

The children created their own handprints and then decorated them using cotton buds to make traditional dot-style patterns. We used Aboriginal-inspired colours to bring each piece to life, focusing on the meaning and beauty behind this style of art.

It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to connect creativity with culture, develop fine motor skills, and express themselves through art in a meaningful way.
