❤ This printable was created after a request for a Mother's day activity to that also incorporates all those other amazing people who nurture and support our kids... they say it takes a village to raise a child right?! 🙌

🧡 As well as some mindful colouring, your class could draw an image of their 'special someone' in the middle, add a photo, some keywords, or some writing!

💛 You can find this FREE colouring sheet on the Green Grubs blog here: https://greengrubsgardenclub.com/2021/05/mothers-day-colouring-sheet-for-your-special-someone/

🎯 It's NZ music month! Celebrate by colouring a large collaborative poster for your music room or class (...and if you're here in the rainy North, may I suggest that it makes a great 'inside lunchtime' activity 😅)

🎵 Check out the 32 piece (1.7 X 1.2 metre) Collaborative Music poster in the Green Grubs store.

🎸 Which band did you first see play live? (My very first was Pearl Jam, followed pretty swiftly by Pantera, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer and the Cranberries 😎🤘)

💿 Can you remember which CD or tape was your very first purchase? (& do your children even know what a cassette tape is?!)

🎯 Tomorrow is the start of NZ music month. Sharing our experiences of music in all its forms is such a great connector across cultures, generations and tastes, and can branch into deeper learning about political & social movements through the decades... there truly is something for everyone!

🎤 This FREE set of Music Month challenges is a great way to get the conversations flowing in your class and could also make a fun home learning challenge! Grab this FREE download on the Green Grubs website.

Mum: “Hey little man, how was your day?” Chil

Mum: “Hey little man, how was your day?”

Child: “Yeah ok”

Mum: “Ohh. What did you do today?”

Child: “Not much….."

🗨 This free download contains some great prompts for getting the conversation flowing after school, and will hopefully support a deeper understanding for caregivers about what’s actually been going on in their young person's day!

You could try:

🧠 "What stretched your brain today?"
🎵 "If your day was a song, what would it be and why?"
🤔 "If you had to do today over again, what would you do differently?"
❤️ "Who did you spot being kind today?"
✅️ *These are not just for kids - after a rough day, try asking your teacher colleague which song would best describe their day 😂

➡️ Enlarge these sheets to A3 & they're perfect for popping up on the classroom window for parents to have a peek at while they’re waiting to pick their young people….

‼️They also make a great 2 minute end-of-day time filler for teachers!

➡️ You can find this free download on the Green Grubs website - just search 'alternative questions!'

🧵 I absolutely love seeing all the creative way

🧵 I absolutely love seeing all the creative ways people use my clipart - look at this total masterpiece by Quilter Christine Macdonald of New Plymouth - it was just awarded 'best in show' at the Taranaki Quilt Festival! 🤩

🧶 Chris incorporated some of my native tree, plant & wildlife images to create this stunningly contemporary piece entitled 'My Little Corner of the World'.

🐈 Chris reports that the whole Quilt making process took an 18 month period all up. "This started in late 2021 with making my pattern at one eighth of the finished size. My husband thinks about 4,000 hours +/- might just about cover it - but honestly I have no idea really. Every day I worked on something. Even my cat (who liked to lend a paw from time to time) had a bed in my sewing room for the duration!"

🥇 Congratulations Chris, what an incredibly talented artist you are!

💚 Just in case you're feeling inspired to get crafty, you can find all the Green Grubs clip art sets on the website!

There's a reason why I'm not back to school full-time! 🥺😱 I just don't think I could do both roles (teaching & being a Mum) the justice they deserve.

All educators are amazing individuals, but there's a special place in my heart for full-time working parents - hats off to you all 💗
