Pounding Flowers

🌸Flower pounding is a fun and easy way to create botanical prints on material with your children. The flowers and leaves dye the fabric and leave a pretty colourful imprint behind.🌸

Happy hammering! 🙂

Super Snail Sleuths

🐌Being  a ‘super snail sleuth’ is a relaxing and fun way to whittle the hours away.
Did you know that snails are very helpful to humans? 🐌

They are like vacuum cleaners in our gardens, eating fallen, dead or dying plant matter and they help us turn this waste in to soil. Sadly, many snails get a bit too excited about the plants in our garden and eat the ones that are still alive, so some gardeners regard the common garden snail as a pest.  

Before you go snail hunting, you might like to put on some gardening gloves.  You will need a container to put them in and a magnifying glass can be helpful too. Once you have found some garden snails, you might want to draw a small circle inside a bigger circle on the pavement with chalk and have a ‘snail race’ with a friend.

Place your chosen snail inside the small circle and watch to see whose snail makes it past the bigger outer circle first.  You might just want to sit back, relax and watch the snails move and munch their way through some juicy green leaves (a magnifying glass can be handy). Shhhhh if you have a hen house, don’t let on to your feathered friends you found lots of snails because chooks love eating the insects we regard as garden pests.   

We encourage you to wash hands with warm soapy water after watching the snails.  You may like to make a paper snail.  See poster attached for instructions.   Random fact: Did you know that the snail is a delicacy in French Cuisine, called Escargot, and eaten in many other countries often as a fried meal? 🐌🌿

I'm Joanne, first a mum to 3 incredibly amazing children and of course the owner & founder of this small beautiful business. When I first launched the brand, my vision was to provide parents with easy access to open-ended and play based toys and resources but also understanding what those are, without breaking the bank. Through my children's journey at a Montessori Early Learning Centre, I learnt more about them and how to support them through their journey of becoming an individual. It was through this journey, that I created our first product the Play & Learn Subscription boxes. 

Now, The Curated Parcel has a whole library of products, all designed to work synergistically together to promote learning through fun and building towards your child's development. And certainly not forgetting those newborns and the early toddlers as well, which we will be extending our range in the near future.   

Being a hard working small business owner I pride myself on allowing my passion to help other local small businesses thrive alongside my own business, that is why The Curated Parcel sources local Australian made and/or Australian brands especially those from small businesses wherever possible. In addition to that, we are doing our part to pay it forward by donating a portion of our profits to 2 charities that are close to our hearts. So thank you for being here, as you are supporting more than just my business!
