The pudding is clearly one that requires a Long March to the kitchen and must be shared equally among the masses (no matter how many raisins are in it).

​Incredible block play! You can really see them testing the mathematical relationships here. That hand-measure is such a brilliant display of Froebelian 'Unity', understanding the parts and the whole through discovery. #BlocksRock

A wonderful demonstration of the ways children incorporate their experiences in their play. These are children who know the story well, they have heard it many times and they are using what they know to re-tell the story. So many important skills being developed here #Froebel #ELCBeingMe
