What to bring to Kindergarten
When you come to Kindergarten you need to bring:
* A named bag with a change of clothes inside.
* For our Older Group (Mon, Tues, Wed) a lunch box with a healthy snack and lunch inside. It is important that there are no nut products in your lunchbox as we have children/teachers with severe nut allergies.
* For our Younger Group (Thurs, Fri) a lunch box with a healthy snack and lunch inside. You may like to have morning tea in a separate container to help you recognise what to eat for morning tea.
* In summer you need to bring a named sunhat to keep ourselves sun safe and we suggest you apply sunscreen before you arrive. This is in line with our sun safe policy. The teachers will re-apply sunscreen after lunch for during our longer session days.
* We discourage toys coming from home as it can be very upsetting for you if you lose something that is precious to you. We are really excited about you coming to join us and can't wait to meet you and your family.

Body Glitter Recipes for Kids
By crafting together a family can make not only cool projects, but quality memories. Body glitter is an excellent craft to make with children. It is easy to make and fun.
Materials
In order to make a jar of homemade body glitter, one needs to have several items on hand including; aloe vera gel, glitter in any color, shape or size, a small jar, mixing spoon and optional essential oil or favorite fragrance.
Instructions
To make the body glitter directly in the container, fill it about ¾ full with the aloe vera gel. Make sure to leave enough room for the other ingredients and for mixing. Next, add the glitter slowly, and stir constantly to avoid clumping. If adding fragrance, add it after the glitter-aloe mixture has been mixed thoroughly.
The body glitter can also be made in large quantities by emptying aloe vera gel into a large mixing bowl. Carefully add the glitter, and then the optional fragrance. Use a silicone spatula to fill individual jars. This would be a great way to help children create presents for friends and families.
It is important to note that fine glitter will make the body glitter have a thinner sheen. But patterned glitter and larger glitter flakes can be used for differing looks. Remember to ask the child which look they want before purchasing supplies.
Variation
A simple variation to the body glitter recipe is to substitute the aloe vera gel with a favorite lotion. Simply empty the lotion into a small squatty jar, leaving room for the other ingredients, and then mix the glitter into it. As the lotion dries, the glitter will remain. This is a great way to enhance a child's favorite lotion.
