Cakes and I have been discussing Australia day (Australia's national day celebrated on the 26th of January) recently as she is into time lining events (mostly in the lead up to her birthday in May). When asked what she knows about Australia she said "It is my home and the Wiggles home". With a little prompting she added that "We have beaches and farms and animals". These are the things I am hoping to involve in her play on the lead up to Australia day (as well as a few activities that expose her to Indigenous Australian culture and our currency).
 On our recent holiday to the Gold Coast, Cakes collected some shells from the beach. We had put aside a few with small holes at the top in her room while we were deciding what to do with them. While watching Surf's up, Cakes pointed out Cody's necklace. It was a sea shell on a piece of string. She ran to her room and asked to make one for herself and one for me. |  |
This was a quick easy activity that just made her beam. Threading the string through the shell hole proved to be a little difficult for Cakes though the perseverance she showed was amazing. She was so determined to make herself a 'pretty' necklace. We found threading both ends of the string through and looping it over the shell holds the necklace in place on our necks the best.
