About mutter

I enjoy writing about the things I love, such as cooking, family life, poetry and living well in a beautiful, but difficult world.

The Sense Of Touch- Is It Good?

In this Lesson Plan for kids I seek to share activities that promote a healthy attitude to touching, which is often sadly missing in our modern culture where fear and suspicion are rife.

A Little Help For Telling The Easter Story

Use easter eggs and bunnies to tell the story

Not every parent or teacher knows the Easter story well enough to share simply with children. Yet every child deserves the chance to hear and decide for themselves. What Is The Easter Story sets it out clearly and naturally so that the whole story can be told. Easter is full of natural props that can both prompt and aid a conversation.

Teaching Children To Look And Learn

In this fast-paced world we can miss so much that simply passes us by in our mad quest to achieve everything! Here is a FREE lesson plan that teaches children to take note and see and understand what they are looking at with inquisitive eyes. As parents we can help them to appreciate their wonderful world by giving them time to stop and look. For example, by walking with them you can encourage them to look at things along the way that are so easily missed when speeding along in the car.
