It's the most wonderful time of the year! At this time schools across the country are preparing for the Christmas nativity, searching for the missing wise man, wondering how on earth they are going to get the glitter out of the carpet, hoping that the staff room is full of chocolate treats and working out which Christmas card delivered into the post box needs to get to which child.

For all those in between moments 2Simple have a range of stocking fillers and Christmas activities to see you through the weeks ahead; from writing projects, to mash cams and everything in between, there is something to suit every year group over the next couple of weeks.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth. This will focus on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month, if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody bag!

December's Mash of the Month is 3D design tool 2Design and Make!

Looking to avoid Black Friday and all the supposed 'bargains'? Why not celebrate Buy Nothing Day instead? This year, we're supporting Children's Book Project in their mission of collecting one million books and redistributing them to children who do not have a book of their own. Find out more about how you can join and donate your own books in our blog.
