https://padlet.com/fwoollard/hpwd9cpeh4gntugv This is a fun activity for parents and young children to do together – with a little extra exploration for parents. Feeding babies can often be a joyful and satisfying experience. But things don’t always feel so good. Many women suffer from shame, guilt and embarrassment surrounding decisions about how they feed their babies, whether they are breastfeeding directly or feeding breastmilk or infant formula in a bottle or tube. It can also be hard to talk to other parents about our decisions. Fiona Woollard’s research in philosophy of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood explores why this happens and what we can do about it. Fiona will talk about her research while showing you and your child how to make matching heart decorations. Children can enjoy being creative while parents may use the decorations to explore their feelings about their own experiences of feeding babies. The activity will launch at 11.30am UK time on Thursday 12th November 2020 - but you can do it at any time. You can post questions, comments or pictures of your creations. There are also posters to look at, a short animated video to watch, and a website to explore. This activity is part of the University of Southampton Human Worlds Festival 2020 en-us 2020-10-26 19:39:35 UTC 2023-01-24 04:51:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f469-1f466.png fwoollard https://padlet.com/fwoollard/hpwd9cpeh4gntugv/wish/863392980 The activity will launch at 11.30am UK time on Thursday 12th November 2020 - but you can do it at any time.

To do the activity you will need:
Paper 
Scissors
Felt tip pens or crayons
String or ribbon
Sticky tape

A hole punch is also useful but if you don't have one you can use a pen / pencil and blu tack or just scissors.

For decorating, we used glue, glitter, stick on foam shapes.
But pictures from cards and magazines, foil or shiny chocolate wrappers, or anything else you have around the house would work well too!]]> 2020-10-26 19:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/fwoollard/hpwd9cpeh4gntugv/wish/863392980 fwoollard https://padlet.com/fwoollard/hpwd9cpeh4gntugv/wish/863431132 I had fun with my son and daughter today decorating some hearts.
The next step will be to thread these on to some ribbon so they can hang up!
