Items needed for an Early Childhood Education project

Barry from Otorohanga District

Hello people. My daughter helps run an Early Childhood Home-based Education organisation. They have a headquarters base where she is planning to build an Enchanted Forest which will be rearranged/reconstructed on a monthly basis, so she needs quite a collection of "treasures".
They need: Tree stumps for kids' chairs and tables. Paua shells, coconut shells, that kids can use as bowls. Large interesting buttons and beads for treasures and "silver" cutlery for making wind chimes. Painted "eggs" and glass paper weights that can be hidden amongst the trees. Birds nests in which she can put bird figures and decorative eggs/stones/precious looking items. Natural baskets and sheer scarves for dancing. Text or calls to 021 626 090 would be appreciated.

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Matamata

Hey neighbours,

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.

It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.

Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
