With just days to go until the big day, everyone is in full festive swing. This month up and down the country (and in Australia!) we at Little Learners have been busy running Christmas themed classes. Here are a few of the activities the children at Little Learners Basingstoke took part in – let us […]
At Little Learners, we LOVE a themed class and this term I decided to do a Dinosaur Play theme for Ziggy, one of The Mark Makers, week. There is something special about dinosaurs, their size, their unique names and there is a slight mystery about them. All in all, they are a perfect theme for […]
I can’t believe it… Easter is just round the corner. At Little Learners up and down the country, we have been busy running Easter themed messy play, classes and events. This is definitely one of my favourite times of the year – any excuse to use lots of cocoa and have lovely smelling trays! I […]
At Little Learners we LOVE gloop. I often get asked how I make it and what is in it. The answer is simply cornflour and water! That’s it. It’s a fascinating substance that is both a liquid and a solid. You touch it in the tray and it feels hard like a solid but when […]

Pudsey wears a bandana with spots which links perfectly to our Swirlo mark of circles and swirls. In this blog, I will share the activities we had at Little Learners Basingstoke. Coloured Rice An all-time favourite and […]
At Little Learners we LOVE a good party and what better way to celebrate than with messy play, playdough, paints and even a cake smash tray! Over the past few months I have planned, hosted and set up a number of different parties. I thought I would write a blog to give you an example […]
At Little Learners we LOVE sand. You can feel it between your fingers, close your eyes and imagine you are on the beach somewhere. Ok so, we might not be able to create miles of sandy beaches but we can create sand in our tuff trays. Sand is brilliant for messy play and a […]
At Little Learners we create lots of different trays each week and so, I thought I would share my top 5 edible messy mark making trays. The trays you could re-create at home and perfect for those teething babies/ toddlers who put anything and everything in their mouths. That phase where they test everything […]
