New on the Baby Blog - At First Sight: the prenatal origins of face recognition by Karol Poles, Irene Ronga and Francesca Garbarini infantstudies.org/at-first-sig... #infantstudies

If you work with babies I highly recommend this webinar. If you work with babies in Wales I would love to network with you. Listening again to this I realise what an advantage we have in Wales to have the ECPLC @froebeltrust.bsky.social #Babies www.froebel.org.uk/training/fil...

It was wonderful to deliver a clay workshop this weekend at the @froebeltrust.bsky.social conference with the lovely @katesmithok.bsky.social I learnt, I listened and I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Kate for being such a great partner 💚🍃

Studying #unity through a #Frobelian lense and enjoying this incredibly interesting chapter. I am struck by how much of Froebel's early writings refer to God and unity with God. I want to know more and delve deeper. It's so interesting. #Froebel #pedagogy #earlyyears

House work done! Shopping done! Some reading / studying before feeding of the five thousand ! Okay feeding of the four adults, 6 teens, 1 tween and a toddler !!! #froebel #froebelresearch #unity&connectedness #earlyyears

Cosy evening in. Coffee, crochet blanket and a bit of reading from the Travelling Tutor reading list 💚 #Froebel #EarlyChildhood #play @froebeltrust.bsky.social

So much joy watching my great niece grow and change. She's 8months now and reaching for objects and trying to crawl! She smiles and laughs so much and she's even started to wave! Proud great aunt! #babydevelopment #childdevelopment #earlyyears

👏 great work Neath Port Talbot the #CommunityofPractice in Cardiff #Ely and #caerau are looking forward to meeting you @savethechildrencym.bsky.social

Can't stop thinking about the webinar! The childhood stories of these Froebelian icons were so powerful, a real reminder of how early experiences shape lifelong values. #Froebel #earlyyears #earlychildhood #playmatters #edusky #moreplayplease #ScotEduSky

Eeek 7 more sleeps! #Earlyyears #Froebel #earlychildhood

I'm really liking it here. I can actually find the people I'm interested in and my feed isn't full of Temu ads and US politics. It feels like a real relief. Follow the #Froebel feed and the people in the Froebel starter pack to connect. go.bsky.app/PRrznhV

Nature always provides the very best invitation to curiosity and learning #Froebel

Really really enjoying re-reading this! Recommended by our #froebel tutors 💚

I've jumped over to Blue Sky but I'm a bit lonely here I need some #EarlyYears #play friends and some #froebel #educators and #nursery or #earlychildhood pals to interact with and to chat about #childdevelopment and #earlylearning plus #observation and #outdoors. Come join me?

The Froebel Trust pamphlet on Clay by Lucy Parker is a fabulous resource #Froebel www.froebel.org.uk/training-and...
