SCRUMPTIOUS SLIME

THE SCIENCE BEHIND EDIBLE SLIME

T H I S S L I M E F LO W S L I K E A L I Q U I D B U T C A N B E R O L L E D L I K E A S O L I D - A N D T H E B E S T PA R T I S T H AT I T ’ S E D I B L E ! H E R E ’S W H AT YO U ’ L L N E E D :

» Saucepan » Plastic sandwich bag » 10g (1 tbsp) cornflour/cornstarch » 45ml (3 tbsp) chocolate syrup » 395g (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions 1. Pour the milk into the saucepan and heat on a low heat. 2. Slowly stir the cornflour into the warm milk. Continue heating and stirring over a low heat for 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens. 3. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate syrup. 4. Place in a sandwich bag and refrigerate. 5. Once cold, roll and squeeze into any slimy shape you want and watch it flow!

Cornflour or cornstarch is a starch made up of long chains of sugar molecules called glucose which are joined together in a coiled up ball. When exposed to heat and milk, the starch particles absorb water from the milk, causing them to swell. These swollen particles start to press up against each other. This reduces the movement of the liquid, resulting in it thickening or becoming more viscous. Eventually the starch particles burst, freeing up long strands of starch which swell further and absorb the fluid outside the particles. This traps the remaining water in the mixture and turns it into a highly viscous gel or slime. The slime flows like a thick liquid but can be rolled around like a soft solid. The advantage of this recipe is that the slime is edible once you have finished with it!

Dr Michelle Dickinson (MNZM) – prize winning nanotechnologist, researcher and educator – has made it her life mission to make science and engineering accessible for all. Her new book The Kitchen Science Cookbook is packed full of fun ‘recipes’, each teaching an important scientific principle in a format that is perfect for parents and children to enjoy together.

HOLIDAY AT THE FARM a parent’s recommendation

We have been holidaying at North Hayne Farm in North Devon since our daughter was 18 months old. She is now 8½ and we are on our 12th visit as I write this! We have stayed at a lot of places around the UK since having our daughter but I can honestly say that nowhere compares.

But how can I explain what makes this place so amazing?

The main thing is definitely the team. The owners, Cheryl and Roger, go above and beyond to make sure your stay is the best it can be. They are so dedicated and such lovely people. We have visited every year since discovering the farm, at all different times of year, and all have been amazing. Cheryl and Roger have seen our little girl grow up and they have been part of that process. She calls the farm her second home and that is exactly what it feels like every time we visit. North Hayne Farm has so much to offer for children. The animals are a big part of the experience - every day the children can feed them, ride a donkey and enjoy a ‘close encounter’ (handling, feeding or walking an animal). They can experience forest school sessions, be a farmer for the morning, go on bat walks and exploration trails, play in the games room and indoor play barn – and all this within safe, secure surroundings. Cheryl and Roger have made the whole site autism friendly and suitable for those with disabilities.

And the parents aren’t forgotten – there is a hot tub for every cottage and beauty treatments on offer, plus things to make life easier such as frozen homemade meals and a babysitting service. Even your supermarket shop gets unpacked! I can categorically guarantee that this place has it all - if you’re looking for a really special holiday, then this is it.

Written by Kym, Daniel and Sydnee – May 2018 Holidays start from £440 for 7 nights. www.northhaynefarmcottages.co.uk.

HOW TO INTRODUCE YOUR BABY TO

SOLID FOOD Written by Sally Rowden, Nursery Nurse and Jo Fletcher, Clinical Team Lead,

0-19s Children’s Universal Services, Northants

Getting the correct advice before introducing solid food to your baby will not only help your little one grow up to be healthy, but it will also help you to enjoy this special time.

you w ill learn Responsive introduction to to how m gether solid food means following u how o ch and your baby’s lead when your ften yo ur baby is around 6 months old. baby w ants Just like feeding with milk, you to eat will learn together how much and how often your baby wants to eat. For some babies this will be a slow process of having little bits of finger foods to finally eating 3 meals a day, and for other babies they may really enjoy joining in with every family mealtime very quickly. Whether slow or fast to enjoy solids, by responding to your baby and enjoying the process together you start ith are helping them to enjoy their baby w y r food, make healthy choices and savou d foo control their appetite. finger

The most up-to-date research tells us that babies need only breast or formula milk up to the age of 6 months. During the following few months, you can relax and really enjoy the experience of introducing solids, safe in the knowledge that baby’s nutritional needs are still met by their milk intake. You may recall health visitors and feeding specialists talking e about ‘responsive’ feeding iv s n o Resp s - the style of feeding mean g in d fee promoted by our teams aby b e h t that od o and around the world to f d e r is offe ey are get children off to the best h t n e wh start. Responsive feeding y, hungr means that the baby is offered food when they are hungry, and that they join in with the experience of controlling their appetite.

We suggest starting baby with savoury finger food that babies are able to pick up and put in their own mouths. This is a really great opportunity for your baby to practice their developing skills and to have fun. Your baby will learn skills in choosing the foods that you want them to continue to eat as they get older. Mealtimes are great opportunities to come together as a family, so building that sociable, relaxed time into baby’s day will also help her to enjoy those healthy foods – a chance for her to see, feel and taste new flavours and textures. And don’t forget - now baby is having solid food, it is important to offer water from a free flowing cup with meals to help her digest the food.

The benefits of this are huge - your baby will feed the right amount to gain weight according to their own individual needs; they will learn to feed to the capacity of their tummy; and they’ll enjoy feeding times as baby and carer tune into one another. Just like adults’ your b aby will fe appetites vary from person ed the right a to person, so do babies’. m to gain ount Grownups simply cannot weigh a c t cordin understand how much or g own in to their how frequently our little dividu ones want to eat without needs al their help.

The Community Nursery Nurse Team within the 0-19 Children’s Universal Service Team are now offering Introducing Solids workshops to all parents of babies in Northamptonshire, which include an informal discussion about the guidance around feeding plus many ideas and suggestions to make it safe and fun, such as what foods are safe, allergies, portion sizes, ready-made products and oral health.

ABOUT REFLUX

Common symptoms DO NO include vomiting or spitting, T LAY YO arching the back, irritability, UR B ABY FL frequent hiccups, gagging and AT AFTER choking, raspy wheezy cough, very A F EED windy but problems burping, poor sleep patterns, excessive feeding or refusal to feed, bouts of inconsolable crying and white covering on the tongue (not oral thrush).

Reflux – when babies bring up milk during or shortly after feeding – is pretty common. It isn’t usually a cause for concern and you don’t normally need to get medical advice if your baby seems otherwise happy and healthy, and is gaining weight appropriately. However, in some cases, babies suffer from extreme reflux – also known as GORD (Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease). This is a long-term form of reflux where the stomach contents rise up and irritate the child’s throat. It can be painful and is often misdiagnosed as colic.

IS THERE A CURE?

No, but it can be controlled. Give your baby smaller, more frequent feeds. Keep baby’s body straight whilst feeding and hold your baby upright for a while after feeding - do not lay them flat on their backs after the feed. Prop the cot up whilst the baby is asleep. A feed thickener can be added to milk or expressed breast milk or a pre-thickened formula can be tried. Find out more about Reflux at www.nhs.uk/conditions/reflux-in-babies/

WHAT CAUSES GORD? The muscle and valve that lead into the stomach are not working properly, which allows the feed, along with gastric acid, to be regurgitated causing the contents of the stomach to flow back up into the oesophagus. You can also have “silent reflux”, when the child is not actually sick.

Controversy Corner

EAR PIERCING FOR

Babies and Toddlers... SHOULD IT BE BANNED?

By Laura Chesmer from www.autumnsmummyblog.com

Whether you pierce your baby or toddler’s ears is a personal choice that most parents have strong opinions about. The argument for banning it ignites online and in the media every once in a while, and petitions for making it illegal it garner thousands of signatures. Some people even claim it’s a form of child abuse. Why do people pierce their baby’s ears? C U LT U R A L E X P E C TAT I O N S A N D G E N D E R REINFORCEMENT In many parts of the world, it is a cultural expectation that a baby girl should have her ears pierced. In fact, to this day some hospitals in Spain carry out ear piercing within hours of a girl being born. In such places, even if a girl is dressed in obviously feminine clothing, she may be continually mistaken for a boy due to her unpierced ear lobes. There is also the possibility that this may trigger bullying when the child reaches school age as they are likely to be the odd one out.

GET TING IT OVER AND DONE WITH Getting a piercing is painful, so some parents decide to pierce their daughter’s ears as a baby to get it out of the way. After all, the vast majority of women have their ears pierced. In getting it done before they’re really aware of what is going on, it gets it out of the way and they probably won’t remember the pain. It may also be easier in some ways for parents to ensure that the fresh piercings are properly looked after than when the child is older.

Why are people against piercing ears so young? B A B I E S D O N ’ T U N D E R S TA N D W H AT ’ S HAPPENING As they’re so little and don’t understand what’s going on, babies and toddlers can’t agree to having their ears pierced. One moment they’re on your lap happy and gurgling and the next they’re in pain. There was actually a video that went viral around this time last year that showed just that, which made for upsetting viewing. (See toddle.club/earpiercing) T H E Y M I G H T N OT WA N T E A R P I E R C I N G S

TRADITION Of course, part of these cultural expectations are formed by tradition. If your grandmother had your mother’s ears pierced as a baby, your mother had yours pierced under 6 months and it was the same for the rest of your family, it would seem quite normal to you. If there is a tradition such as this within the family, you would be more likely to follow it and also get your baby’s ears pierced.

As babies don’t understand what’s going on and can’t speak, they can’t tell you that they don’t want ear piercings. They might grow up to not want any piercings and then they’ll be left with scars on their ear lobes when they stop wearing them. There’s also a small chance that they could grow up with gender dysphoria. If they feel like they’re supposed to be male and decide to change to that gender, those scars could be a painful reminder of a time when they were a girl. Many parents, myself included, think it should be the child’s choice to have their ears pierced. Oct-Dec 2018 Toddle About Milton Keynes & Buckinghamshire 23

Others believe there should be an age restriction applied, making it illegal to pierce the ears of children under a certain age. Purely from a practical point of view, this would be difficult to put into practice however as children don’t have photo ID to prove their age. A birth certificate could be taken along, but it would be easy to borrow the birth certificate of a sibling or friend’s child if you’re insistent on having your child’s ears pierced below the legal age. Such a law might even drive parents to pierce their children’s ears at home, which could also be very risky as they may not use the proper equipment or sterilise things correctly.

IT ’S SELFISH Some people think it’s selfish to pierce a child’s ears so young as it is putting them through unnecessary pain in order for their daughter to have pretty ears, as though they are some kind of fashion accessory. Some even go as far as calling it child abuse as it is physically harming them and causing them distress, while other types of physically harming children are illegal. While it is annoying to have to correct people who call your daughter a boy, is it worth putting your child through pain to show they’re a girl? I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s selfish - however, I wouldn’t personally do it. Even after seeing my daughter in immense pain after open surgery at 5 weeks old, I still find it difficult when she cries in pain for far less serious reasons. She recently cut her cheek badly and we had to go to A&E for it to be glued. Seeing her cry while the nurses cleaned the wound and glued it was awful and I’d never put her through any kind of pain that I didn’t need to.

People who want to make ear piercing illegal are in the minority however - whether they agree with piercing babies’ ears or not, most people believe that it shouldn’t be illegal. After all, there are already so many rules on how we raise our children, this would be yet another way of restricting parents. It is also worth pointing out at this stage that male circumcision is perfectly legal, but is painful and the child has no choice. It goes without saying that circumcision carries far bigger implications than ear piercing, yet it never seems to attract the same attention as ear piercing babies.

F N O

C te

S O… I S I T A B U S E ?

So, should it be illegal? From time to time there is a surge of interest in this debate. Tens of thousands of people have signed petitions calling for it to be illegal to pierce a baby or toddler’s ears. Some even extend their views to it being banned for any child. This is for a variety of reasons, but the most common explanations are that the child isn’t old enough to understand the ramifications of piercings, or that they are too young to look after their piercings properly, putting them at risk of infection.

Some say that piercing such a young child’s ears is child abuse, however, there are far worse things that happen which make this debate pale in comparison. Calling it child abuse seems too harsh a label to me – and calling it such would potentially make real child abuse seem less significant. Ear piercing isn’t generally done maliciously, so it probably shouldn’t be considered as abuse.

U LT I M AT E LY, I T ’ S YO U R D E C I S I O N Whether you want to pierce your daughter’s ears or not, it isn’t currently illegal. As such, it is your choice and you know the decision that you think is right for you and your child. Just make sure that you choose a reputable piercer in a clean, sterile environment and look after your child’s ears with care.

POM POMS AND PINECONES

Christmas Ornaments T H E S E A R E S U P E R E A S Y ! A N D T H E Y LO O K A M A Z I N G ! H E R E ’S W H AT YO U ’ L L N E E D : » Pinecones » Tiny pom poms

Use multicoloured or single colo ured pom pom s.

» String or ribbon » Hot glue gun/PVA 1. Start by adding a small glob of hot glue/PVA to the underside of the pinecone “branches”.

2. Then take about 30cm of string or ribbon and hot glue it to the top of the pinecone.

Then stick a tiny pom pom onto the dab of glue. Repeat for all the pinecone tips.

3. Clean the pinecones up by peeling away any glue strands. These are really simple to make and look great!

The little pom poms look just like ornaments hanging from a tree!

Forest Schools for all MK Nurseries Hosted at The Childcare Hub, the home of nature-based play in Knowlhill, Milton Keynes We embrace nature-based play at Kids Play Childcare and this includes Forest School trips for all our MK Pre-Schoolers. All within your nursery fees, we love seeing children attend these sessions who grow in confidence, improve selfesteem and connect with nature. Run by qualified Forest School practitioners who use a range of child-centred learning, your child will join bug hunts, build dens, make tools and build camp fires (perfect for toasting marshmallows!). For more information on Forest Schools, book a Showround at one of our Day Nurseries & Pre-Schools, please visit www.kidsplaychildcare.co.uk
