🌲Budding artists celebrate National Tree Week🎨

Our Mount Annan and Minto Playgroups have returned, and the children celebrated with rollers, paintbrushes and dotters.

There were cars, dolls and bubbles to get creative with, and our mums and kids enjoyed delicious fresh watermelons, apples, bananas and strawberries.

We loved welcoming some new families.

This is Rose, and here's why she joined us.

"Hello everyone! 😊

I’m Rose, and I’m excited to be joining the team as a Family Worker!

I’m looking forward to connecting with children, young people, and families in our community and supporting them through early intervention and playgroups.

I’m passionate about listening to people’s stories, building genuine connections and trust, and helping families access the support they need to create positive outcomes for their young people.

My background is in juvenile justice and youth work, which has allowed me to work alongside some incredible people and families.

I’m excited to bring that experience, along with my passion for supporting others, into this new role. 💛

When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me training with the NSW Rural Fire Service, playing with my kelpie, Mando, or watching a good true crime documentary!

I also love spending quality time with my partner, family and friends.

I can't wait to begin this journey with Disability Macarthur - family support & care and get to know the wonderful people in our community.

Thanks so much for reading this far 😂 and I can't wait for what's ahead."

Welcome Rose. We are so happy you said yes.😊

Are the kids bored already? 😧😂

This easy no-cook playdough recipe is the perfect way to spark creativity, imagination, and hours of hands-on fun. And there's no cooking required. 🎉

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup salt
2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups boiling water
Food colouring (optional)

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and cream of tartar.
Add the vegetable oil and boiling water, and using a spatula, mix until combined. Once it’s cool enough to handle, use your hands to knead the playdough in the bowl until it becomes smooth, about 2 minutes. (It may appear wet at first, but it will dry as you knead and the water gets fully absorbed.)
Turn the playdough onto your work surface and knead it until it is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Use the homemade playdough as is, or if desired, colour with food colouring of your choice. (If using food colouring, it’s best to use gloves.)

Enjoy with your little ones. 🎉

We love helping Macarthur families thrive through parental support, activities, counselling and our playgroups.

✨ New families welcome at our free playgroups ✨

This week, our little artists had a wonderful time exploring dot painting.

Through experimenting with colours, patterns, and designs, they expressed their creativity and imagination.

Activities like this help develop important early learning skills, including fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, concentration, and confidence.

It was lovely to see each child’s personality and creativity shine through. 💛

As we wrap up Term 2, we’d like to thank all the families who joined us this term.

If you’re a mum, grandparent, or carer looking for a welcoming space to connect with other local families, we’d love to see you in Term 3.

• Monday 27 July – Birriwa Reserve Community Hall, Mount Annan

• Tuesday 28 July – 4–6 Surrey Street, Minto
