🎾✨ Wimbledon Fever at Monkey Puzzle Grange Road! ✨🎾
Our talented preschoolers have been getting into the Wimbledon spirit in the most creative way—by crafting their very own tennis rackets using wool and thread! Through a delightful mix of weaving and imagination, the children explored fine motor skills while learning about this iconic sporting event.
Each racket is a mini masterpiece, full of colour, personality, and determination—just like our little ones! 💪🎨
We couldn't be prouder of their focus, patience, and creativity. Who needs Centre Court when you’ve got a room full of champions in the making?

Loose Parts Play in Action at Monkey Puzzle Grange Road 🧺✨
At Monkey Puzzle Grange Road, we believe in nurturing curious minds through imaginative, hands-on experiences. One way we do this is by embracing Loose Parts Play—a powerful approach where everyday materials like fabric, stones, and cardboard spark creativity and exploration.
Through this type of open-ended play, children build problem-solving skills, develop fine and gross motor coordination, and gain confidence as independent learners. It also fosters collaboration, emotional expression, and supports key areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage including literacy, maths, and understanding the world around them.
Loose Parts Play empowers children to take the lead in their learning—because sometimes the best ideas start with a simple cardboard box!
