Term 2 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾....

Welcome to another exciting week from Brisbane, Australia. We've got a packed newsletter sharing our favourite Things in Early Childhood Education and Development, Parenting and being a Modern Woman.Now, a little backstory. During my morning walk through our beautiful Brisbane neighbourhood, I stumbled upon two very special friends with quite the mystery on their paws! Meet Xin Xin the Pug and Fu Fu the Shih Tzu—two clever Brisbane locals who've captured my heart with their incredible stories. As we chatted under the Queensland sunshine, I discovered these two share our passion for discovery, learning, and turning everyday moments into magical adventures. But here's where it gets interesting... Xin Xin and Fu Fu have a puzzling tale about their missing buried treasure that's perfect for our Little Explorers to investigate! Their story beautifully weaves together everything we love at Labelleworldkids - STEAM discovery, problem-solving, and that special Brisbane community spirit that connects us all to this beautiful Turrbal and Jagera Country we call home. I couldn't resist inviting them to share their adventure with our Labelleworldkids families. After all, the best learning happens when curiosity meets community, and these two have both in abundance!

Introducing Xin Xin the Pugventor and Fu Fu the Shih Tzupreneur -s🐾✨

THE STORY: Woof! I'm Xin Xin the Pug, and this is my friend Fu Fu the Shih Tzu. It's winter here in Brisbane, and our human caught a cold, so they're making delicious chicken soup with lots of vegetables! They love carrots, and so do we. Our human left some carrots in the fridge for too long, and they began growing "fur" (sprouts!), so we decided to bury them in the garden yesterday when we were let out for some fresh air. When we went back to check on our buried treasure, we discovered a hole in the ground and the carrots were gone! What happened to our carrots? Let's investigate together! 🕵️‍♀️

Fu Fu the Shitsu asks, “What do you think happened to our carrots?”

Gel Nails that don’t damage my Nail Bed and take Minutes - Blue Sky Starter Kit - Includes some Classic Colours that suit most skin tones. After visiting many salons, I have yet to experience a Manicure that would last beyond a few days or not leave my Nails Brittle. If I tried Gel Nails, my Nails would break. My beautiful Friend in Israel, Kelly, sent me a Gel Nail Set that has a Rubber Base, and I fell in love. No more heavy-duty buffing or chemicals to soak off my Nails, which left my skin dry and Nails Brittle, just a gentle soak in Olive oil and warm water and a little buffing and my Nails peeled off. Yes, sometimes it’s nice to have your nails done in a Salon; however, for regular maintenance, you can do them at home at a fraction of the price. Well, that’s what I’ve been doing, and I’ve never been happier. For Gentle Mani-Pedis that Take Minutes. Buy it via this link https://amzn.to/3HLJVg7
