All our children really enjoy exploring new textures to feel and new food tastes that they have never tried before. Exploring your senses is really important as your body develops and involving different textures in children’s play is a really fun challenge.

Chinese new year is a wonderful festival to be able to try new tastes and the staff together with the children at all our settings have created some wonderful activities to understand and explore the celebration of Chinese New Year.

At our Horsforth Trinity setting they have been testing their smell sense by involving mint in lots of different activities from creating a tasty drink to crushing the leaves, freezing it in ice cubes and seeing how fast it will grow.
