Eye Eye! Pic Monkey Nip and Tuck #snaphappybritmums

I had already taken this picture a long time a go .. I have to add that my cat was perfectly happy to do this. I don't normally dress it up my I saw the opportunity and took it.

The image on the right was enhanced using Pic Monkeys nip and tuck

The picture on the left is the one before and the one on the right is the altered shot, you have to look very carefully at the cats eye!

Bubbles

A child with bubbles  other a plethora of play opportunities. They are reaching, while balancing and working on fine and gross motor skills while she they try to catch a bubble. At In The Beginning Child Development and Preschool, children are exposed to a lot of different age appropriate development activities that are both fun and challenging.

I found that during a recent SEN session bubbles were a fantastic tool , for example with prepositional language  for example when I was blowing the bubble the child said.

"The bubbles are in the box"

Fantastic this was such a surprise to me and made me feel very proud as all my hard work and theirs was clearly paying off. Bubbles are such a cheap resource that you should never me without a bottle of bubbles.

Its ideal for working on their fine and gross motor skills especially when you encourage them to pinch the bubbles between their thumb and forefinger.

I love bubbles do you ?

Bubbles fun.
