Spring is finally here!

Time to play outside! 









Kids of all ages love the water table!
Some days we fill it with bubbles instead of just water.



                              Kids run back and forth in the backyard on windy days to get the kites flying!


The kids love our new table top sandbox!



The babies love playing together!


Trash days are exciting for the kids. If we aren't outside to watch, they grab their chairs and watch the garbage truck out the front window!


Reading stories to his little buddy.


Happy Mother's Day!

Hooray for the warm weather!

More cold weather fun!










Sensory Buckets 





Practicing fine motor skills by stringing pasta to make necklaces.







Lots of painting!
We love getting messy!












          Coloring Easter eggs (and their hands...)!







                           Lots of crafts:
Whenever possible, the craft is paired with a book, a song, or a nursery rhyme.






 The Letter "P" week was lots of fun!
Pajama Day

Indoor Pirate Picnic


Our pizza party with home made chef hats.
 Rolling out the dough.

 Putting on the toppings.

Waiting for the pizzas to be cooked.







We made rainbow crayons & ate a rainbow for the letter "R."

Cold Weather Fun

Now that the cold weather has arrived, we play lots of active inside games, bundle up for shorter periods of outdoor fun, use sensory buckets, and of course play in the snow!












The toddlers love their little buddy!



Ready Set Go... Races down the driveway! 




 We've added sensory buckets into our play, which we use on the back deck and in the kitchen.







SNOW!





Attempting to make a snowman and snow angels.



Taking turns on the sled. The other kids follow behind waiting "patiently" for their next turn! 




 Everyone gets a turn on the sled!


 Sliding into the snow!

Winter/ Holiday Crafts

Craft time has become one of the children's favorite times of day! Glue or paint, woo-hoo!
Children made crafts continuing with our letter of the week theme, but also incorporating the season.

Letter "C"




















            Elephant & Elf






                                                  Frosty the Snowman






Kids are encouraged and guided when making crafts, but they get to place the pieces down and make the crafts themselves! Makes original artwork!







 Merry Christmas! 









                  Our penguin made from all different shapes.
