A little Life Skills help for our 3 to 7 year olds
Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you all know that the Kerikeri based, Illumination Workshop, has now gone live with their Mac's Patch website, www.macspatch.org... that supports children 3-7 years with easy to process skills for life.
Our debut offering has four beautiful short films with farm animal puppets sharing stories about resilience when changing comfort zones, learning how to compromise, staying safe around water and brushing your teeth. We support these stories with 16 activities to download and a variety of fun colouring sheets.
There is no sign up, no registration and it's absolutely free. We hope that it can become a valuable support for families who would like a fun way to learn some important things together.
Constructive feedback is most welcome on our contact page. Enjoy! :)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
