Navigating the journey of weaning your baby can be daunting, especially when it comes to introducing common allergens. Early allergen exposure has been shown to strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of allergies, particularly in children at higher risk. This guide offers essential tips, safe practices, and insights on recognising allergy symptoms to support you in this important stage of your child's development. Whether you’re introducing peanuts, eggs, or other allergens, our team is here to help you every step of the way.
At Teepee Day Nursery, we focus on play-based activities rather than formal writing in early years, allowing children to develop essential motor skills and core strength at their own pace. This approach builds a strong foundation for confident writing when they’re ready. Read more about our early literacy philosophy in our latest blog!
Why We Use Scissors in Our Early Years Setting (and How You Can Support at Home)
At Teepee, we introduce children to using scissors as part of their fine motor development. While it may seem like a simple tool, using scissors safely and properly helps children build essential skills such as hand-eye coordination, strengthening hand muscles, and practicing focus and patience. Cutting activities also boost confidence as children master new tasks.
We ensure safety through adult supervision, teaching children to sit while cutting, and guiding them to use scissors carefully. You can support this at home by providing child-safe scissors, creating simple cutting activities, and supervising their practice.
With time, your child will grow in confidence and coordination, all while enjoying creative fun!
