Helping kids into healthy habits!

Life's Little Bugs launch new online workshops!

We are excited to announce Life's Little Bugs, five new online interactive workshops for 2021.
We successfully piloted our online workshops with many Berkshire schools over three months with Get Berkshire Active and Berkshire School Games' support and received this positive feedback.
School testimonials on our online workshops

2020 was a challenging twelve months, and education was one of the many victims during the pandemic lockdown.

Zooming and video became the new way to communicate and teach, and to be honest, both can become quite repetitive after a time.

Child looking bored

Now more than ever, our children need to include healthy practices daily for their well-being. Using our Life's Little Bugs characters we've enabled the healthy habits we teach to be fun, and children relate with them to practice with a good understanding and reason. These virtual resources have been written and produced for teachers, nannies, childminders and homeschoolers to use with children aged 5-8yrs and support their COVID recovery plan.

Each workshop has a lesson plan, printable activities and modules can easily be integrated into lessons.

The details of the five workshops are shown below...

We’ve taken Life’s Little Bugs ethos outside to teach children respect, self-care, and healthy living in nature. Lockdown has bought awareness of many things, with around 70% of us living in urban areas, our parks and green spaces have never felt so important for our mental & physical health.
Linda Beckett and her book Where's Arty?

The Important Topic of Children’s Mental Health

By Linda Beckett • 09 Apr, 2020
Having studied with the Open University for six years, Linda attained an Honours degree in Psychology. This enabled her to become a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society. She is also a member of the Society of Authors and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Linda has a keen interest in Mental Health issues, particularly where these issues are affecting children of primary school age, and this is why she wrote her book. Inspired by tales of woodland animals told to her by her father as a child, Arty the Bear was created.
Hands being washed.

This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands!

By Tina Stubbs • 31 Mar, 2020
Washing hands has become a new mantra. Life's Little Bugs has always encouraged this healthy habit through our books and workshops. Unfortunately, the current Covid-19 crisis has highlighted the importance of this daily practice, even more so. Understanding we have to be mindful when educating children, so as not to trigger OCD tendencies, I have written this simple blog to outline when and how to wash hands.

THE POWER OF STORY TELLNG

By Tina stubbs • 13 Jan, 2020
One of the most amazing things to give is the gift of reading and the love for books. If like me, you are an avid reader, then you are aware of the places it can take you and the escape it can offer from your normal every day. But it can also be a very powerful tool to open up discussions with children and a way to communicate when other methods have failed. Relating through examples in a book or using the characters to talk through can be a great way to get the point across or explain a delicate subject. The results can be very potent!

TEACH CHILDREN THE GOOD HABIT OF MONEY MANAGEMENT

By Tina Stubbs • 11 Dec, 2019
One of the most helpful habits we can teach our children is to value and respect money and learn how to save and invest. In this digital world of touch cards and cash on tap, it is easy to understand why children expect instant gratification when purchasing and not getting to grips with patience and saving. No wonder debt is such a massive problem to so many. Again teaching the basics through education can only benefit for their financial future. Metro Bank offers a great workshop to do just this, and it's free! A no brainer for schools!
