Let's make some easy diverse playdough this week and use it for activities and sensory play. This easy recipe (just watch the reel above) is great and don't forget to go follow @dramamamareads on Instagram too.

Black History Giant Word Search

Our literacy activity is a giant wall word search for your preschooler to do. This fantastic idea from Happy Toddler Playtime is great for working on letter and word recognition. Adapt it by making a simple list for your child to match or more complex with a huge wordsearch you've created yourself. We love the provided list.

African Drum Snack & Black History Month Music

For our snack lets create a tasty African drum and listen to some fantastic music to inspire us. Check out the snack here and scroll down this book list to get to the spotify list that the author has put together for you to listen to.

Black History Handprint Crafts

This week we have a simple handprint craft from Happy Toddler Playtime for you to do. Our favourite the Dr Mae Jemison one to head off into space with.
