We are back!

As Christmas approaches the Littlemagictrain has been reflecting on 2023 and how we have had our heads down beavering away. Find out what we have been up to in 2023 and don't miss the great offer from the fabulous Creative Steps Magazine. Hold on to your hats...

On the 28th of October 2023, Littlemagictrain entered into a partnership with De-SkooliT, an esteemed educational services company founded by Aadhi Dileep Kumar, an alumnus of prestigious institutions such as the IIM, in India, and the University of Sussex, in the UK.

This collaboration, with De-SkooliT, aims to bring our bespoke innovative 3L Program - focusing on Language, Life, and Logical thinking skills - to young learners aged 2 to 10 years within Indian schools.

Through this alliance, we aim to help De-SkooliT revolutionize education in India, by blending our innovative program with De-SkooliT's expertise in curriculum, extra-curricular, and co-curricular support. Together, we are dedicated to nurturing well-rounded, empowered young minds, fostering a love for learning and personal development from the very foundation of their educational journey.

Since our last newsletter, Littlemagictrain has been nominated as a winner for their Imaginative Role-Play awards in 2022 and 2023.

'Dinosaurs on the Loose!' won the 2023 award. This is what the judges said:

"Excellent product, great activities, and ideas - loved all the extra resources, especially the yoga cards. The kids all loved taking part in this - really engaged and helped their imaginations. Great topic for kids."

'Toy Shop at the North Pole' won the 2022 award. This is what the judges said: "The music files supplied were clear, fun, and engaging and inspired our early years setting to move their bodies to the tempo and beat! We enjoyed the sensory fun ideas and extended learning opportunities for older children. Allows children to develop their gross motor skills through dance and movement."

Our Dinosaur adventure, delivered by the fabulous Red Coats, has been a source of pride. Throughout the year, the Littlemagictrain has had the privilege of entertaining and educating young minds at Butlin's Minehead, Skegness, and Bognor.

In 2023, we enhanced our interactive adventures by incorporating yoga to help you focus on nurturing the physical well-being of your children. Each session is thoughtfully designed with selected yoga poses, providing a fun and engaging way for your children to expand their yoga vocabulary and build strength. Join us on this journey of health and mindfulness!

Are you ready for January? We have the perfect activity for your little ones to learn about the environment, Polar Bears, and Seals on our adventure at the 'North Pole'. And there is even a snowball fight - how can you resist?

Don't forget each interactive adventure comes with music, illustrations, sensory, speech and language, yoga, and lots of fun activities for hands-on creative play.

This year we have been on the road, showcasing Littlemagictrain at the Childcare and Education Expos in London, Bolton, and Coventry. The National Education shows in Llandudno and Cardiff. In the Autumn we visited several Flying Start settings in Barry and had lots of fun and a few delicious Welsh cakes. In November hopped on a large train to attend the Rochdale Early Years Conference.

It has been a wonderful year chatting to all the amazing and very passionate early years teachers out there. We are looking forward to our booked events in 2024. Hope to see you soon!

Early this year we released our brand new Amazon Adventure which is full of creepy crawlies, spiders, frogs, turtles, monkeys, sloths, toucans, and of course a snoring black jaguar. Think of all the fun learning ahead!

If you go on our 'South African Safari' don't forget to pack your binoculars as you don't want to miss the springbok, hippos, lions, meerkats, elephants, baboons, and porcupines. How can you say no?
