LEMON AND ROSEMARY HANDSCRUB

The Correa group children have been busy chopping , squeezing and mixing and have produced bottles of hand scrub. We noticed that there was lots of rosemary growing in our kinder garden so Narelle found a recipe we could make together.

First we picked the rosemary and chopped it into tiny pieces. Next we squeezed lemons and grated their rind. The children love doing these ‘grown up’ tasks and take great pride in doing the job right. 

Then it was time to measure and weigh all the ingredients. This was a great opportunity to practice our Maths skills as we used digital scales.

Once it was mixed, the children scooped it into small jars. To use the scrub, you place a small amount of the mixture in your palm and scrub hands together under running water. It smells amazing!

We are selling these jars at kinder for $5 jar. Please call in for a visit if you would like to buy some. Thank you!

SHARE THE DIGNITY CHARITY DRIVE

We are supporting the charity Share the Dignity again this year. It is our 7th year collecting bags for their 'It's in the bag' campaign at BHNPSK and a charity that I enjoy showing support to.

Kinder Educators are putting together handbags for women in need and we would be grateful if you could also support this charity. If you would like to participate, please bring your filled handbag (see below) before 22nd November.  Alternatively, you can just donate some of the listed products and the charity will make up the bags.

We have three types of bags we collect! (teenager/adult and Mum &bub)More info can be found on Share the dignity website. https://www.sharethedignity.org.au/itsinthebag

​Our most popular is an "Adult" bag. These bags are distributed to adults living in crisis from those experiencing homelessness, living in domestic violence refuges, indigenous communities and those doing it tough.  "Mum&Bub" bags and "Teenager" bags can also be donated.​​

​If you're putting an "Adult" bag together, please include: 

Shampoo & Conditioner-full size if it fits 

Toothbrush & Toothpaste 

Body wash or Soap 

Roll-on Deodorant (no aerosol) 

A Sealed packet of pads and tampons

​​We also recommend you add a couple of additional luxuries that an adult might need or that will make her feel special. eg jewellery, scarf, notebook, hand cream, lip balm, make up etc and write a nice card to go inside the bag.​​

Bags are due at kinder by 22nd November. The bags are then donated to charities across the country to distribute to those in need ready for Christmas. 

Thank you for your support, 

Narelle and the kinder team
