Children are learning new things constantly, and every day they’re attempting many new skills and tasks. Sometimes, we adults forget how hard that can be. Just try learning something new as an adult, right?  It’s not always easy to try new things and learn new skills, is it? It takes energy, and if we struggle with a task we can feel defeated. 

A little love and kindness can turn that experience right around. We have two special songs that offer words of encouragement, “Everything Is Going To Be Alright” and Finny the Shark’s “Keep On Swimming”. 

Some loving words from Caitie might be a great way to celebrate this special day! Caitie’s asking her friends “how do you feel love and how do you show love?” 

Here are some words of encouragement that might come in handy on September 12th, the National Day of Encouragement. 

Everyone has bad days, and it’s okay to feel that way. 
Take some big breaths and exhale out all the icks! 
Everything is going to be alright. 
Let’s go for a walk outside. 
This is just the beginning of your greatness. 
Look up and reach for the twinkling stars. 
The more we get together the happier we’ll be. 
I am grateful to have you in my life. 
I like the way you think! 
Great idea! 
You’re amazing! 
You handled that well. 
Congratulations! 
You are a shining star. 
Great problem solving. 
You express yourself very well. 
I can see how hard you worked on that. 
I hear you. I see you. High five! 
I’m thankful that you are you. 
The world outside is waiting. Come and play!

Celebrate with encouraging words every day! Be reminded that you’re awesome, you are loved, you’re capable, you’ve got this, and you’re creative. Here are some excellent songs to enjoy on September 12th, the National Day of Encouragement!

We know that for children play is not just a way to spend time and have fun – it’s an important purpose in cognitive development. Research shows that children learn best when they are active and engaged, and it’s been found to improve a number of critical skills like language, creativity, problem-solving, math, social skills, emotional regulation, motivation for learning, as well as fine and gross motor skills. Whoa! But how can you help your little ones play in an engaging way that will aid in all this development?

We got you covered! We took inspiration from our friends The Bumble Nums and created a playset all about their favorite thing – food! With The Bumble Nums Restaurant Play Set, you’ll have all the items (or should we say ingredients?) you’ll need for engaging, interactive, and informative play. 

First things first! Download and print out The Bumble Nums Restaurant Play Set. In this package you’ll find: 

• A decorative restaurant banner
• Open & closed signs
• Welcome & ‘wait to be seated’ signs
• A worksheet to help facilitate your play
• Labels for different roles
• Order forms
• Play money
• Play food cutouts
• Play table setting cutouts
• Menus
• Coupons

If you are able, you might like to laminate some items once they are printed and cut out to improve their wear and tear. 

Once you have all your pieces you can set up your play station! We have a worksheet that will help decide certain parts of your restaurant play space. You can work through the questions on the worksheet and assign roles for each player. 

You can decide together where the different aspects of the restaurant will be and put the play pieces in place. 

You can place the signs at the front door of the pretend restaurant.

Have the table setting on the table, and the food in the back ready to be brought out to eat. 

The menus and order forms are ready to go by the table. 

You can decide how much money each customer gets and if they get any coupons! Remember to leave some of the play money with the restaurant so they can give change, too! 

Now we are ready to play! There is so much that little ones can learn from creative and dramatic play like this. 

• Planning skills in setting up the play restaurant and asking them to predict what might happen.
• Writing skills in making a menu or taking orders.
• Reading skills from reading the signs and menu.
• Math skills from adding up total costs, giving change, and adjusting for coupons.
• Problem solving skills when issues might arise, like food arriving cold or not what was ordered. 
• Social and language skills as they act out their roles.

Some children may need support when engaging in this type of play and that is totally okay!  We can help by verbalizing an appropriate thought process or help them go through the motions of play. The best thing an adult can do to support this is to engage with the kids by jumping in and playing along. You can add more ideas to play or give a child an opportunity to expand the play by making leading suggestions such as “Now we should….”

Afterwards you can further promote academic skills by having children narrate (either verbally or in writing) what happened in their play using sequencing words such as “first, then, next, and last”. Encourage them to answer questions and describe the items in play. 

We hope you give The Bumble Nums Restaurant Play Set a try at home or in your classroom. The opportunities for learning through play are limitless – we just need to give support and guide children in a fun and engaging way – and with a printable play set like this we have a big head start to create a dramatic play space to explore and learn in!

Watch The Bumble Nums and find even more play food inspiration for your play restaurant with our Felt Pizza Craft & Activity.

We have a smaller scale restaurant pretend play for you if creating an entire dramatic play station is out of reach. Our Restaurant Pretend Play Order Forms are super fun and will encourage lots of fun and educational pretend play. They would also make a great addition to this whole printable package!

The New Year is on it’s way and we have some great activities ready for you, so you can celebrate in style with the whole family!

New Year’s Eve Countdown With Caitie & Tobee

For little ones who won’t make it to midnight, celebrate early with Caitie and Tobee! Caitie is having a New Year’s Eve party with Tobee and they are singing and crafting their way to the new year. Join in with great songs and a countdown to the big moment! This is a great episode to introduce the countdown to little ones – Caitie explains why we count down on New Year’s Eve and we even do a trial run to make sure we are ready for the big moment at the end!

Confetti Poppers

In the New Year’s Eve Special with Caitie and Tobee, Caitie makes these awesome confetti poppers! They are super simple to make, and so fun to play with. They can all be made with items you probably already have at home, so it’s a great last minute activity to add in some extra excitement before the clock strikes midnight. 

New Year’s Eve Party Hats

What is a New Year’s Eve Party without party hats?! Check out our step-by-step instructions to make your own special party hats for your celebration.

The Bumble Nums Inspired Party Snacks & Kitchen Countdown!

It is no secret that The Bumble Nums love to cook, eat and countdown! Watch some Bumble Nums episodes to practice your countdown skills – each Bumble Nums episode includes the Ten Second Kitchen Countdown where we count down from ten as the Bumble Nums make their yummy dish, just like we count down on New Year’s Eve! You can also add some of our Bumble Num inspired snacks to your party table for a yummy treat, like our Bumble Num pancakes, mac & cheese wheels, and Bumble Num banana splits! 

Ten In The Bed

For more countdown practice (who can get enough?) watch our music video for the song Ten In The Bed. We start with ten teddy bears in the bed, and as they fall out one at a time, we count down! At the end of the night though, everyone ends up back in bed for a restful sleep.

Songs To Get Up & Move To Playlist

We’ve got great songs to get the party started, too! Check out our Get Up & Move playlist for all your favorite Super Simple Songs to get you up and moving! Party time!

Make Your Own Snakes & Ladders Game

New Year’s Eve celebrations are a perfect time to bring out the board games! Follow our step-by-step instructions to make your very own Snakes & Ladders game. Making your own is a great way to practice numbers, and you can switch up where the snakes and ladders are on the board every time you play, so each game is different and exciting.

Time Capsule

A wonderful way to celebrate the year we are leaving behind is to make a time capsule of your favorite things. Check out our suggestions for making a time capsule and our free printable you can fill out so you’ll always remember what you were like during that year of your life. This can become a wonderful tradition to do every New Year’s Eve. Make a time capsule and keep it sealed for a number of years, then after a few years you can start opening the boxes on New Year’s Day and remember all the years that have passed. 

We hope you have a wonderful New Year’s Eve celebration and a fantastic New Year. We will be here with more songs, episodes, crafts, worksheets, activities and more to get you through this coming year and beyond. Happy New Year!
