Disability forums for parents

Parents and carers of children and young people with a disability can go to webinars and workshops during September 2020 – register for a parent workshop.

Bake your cake and eat it too

Your child can learn a lot when cooking with you. Why not make a cake together? What does the recipe ask for? Do you have all the ingredients?

This is one of our many GreatStart - learning with your child activities.

Splish splash – I’m having a bath

Splish splash, I’m in the bath and having lots of fun. Let your child play, exploring the water and how it moves as they swish their hands and legs. Let them try and scoop up the water with their hands, exploring what happens when they open their fingers. Does the water stay put or does it trickle out slowly and run back into the bath?

This is one of our many GreatStart - learning with your child activities.
