  • Orientation Week in the Toddler Room

    We are so “hoppy” to have had a terrific frog theme inspired orientation week.  The children explored the classroom, played outside, made some new friends, sang Five Little Speckled Frogs, and did a sticker craft.  We are so excited about the year ahead!

  • Week 7: Soaking Up Summer

    The toddlers are having a great time this week.  We are very busy with crafts, games, playing with friends, fun snacks, and exploring.

    We took turns trying to lift the heavy watermelon.

    Our activity turned into a yummy snack!

    We also made a “One in a Melon” craft.

    Our sensory bin is filled with water beads and ocean animals.

    Pool Party!

  • Week 5: Dinosaurs

  • Week 4 Pirates and Princesses

    What a fun week here at Creative Tots!  We dressed up in hats, played games, and made our own pirate hats and princess tiaras to wear home.

    The toddlers used playdough and mats to create pirate faces.  We also painted our hands to create a special craft to take home.  Morning tables included a large color page and stickers!

    Pirate ship snack!

    Discovery bins full of treasure!

    At camp, we also have time to make new friends, play outside, and Music Mondays with Ms. Joanie!

  • Week 3 – Cooking Summer Playdate

    Do you know the muffin man?  We baked up a storm during the cooking summer playdate this week.  We all worked together to make blueberry muffins on Monday.

    If You Give A Mouse A Cookie…   We used the big mixer to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch on Tuesday.  The toddlers had one for snack and one to take home!  We also watched the mouse jump on the parachute!

    We had mini donuts on Wednesday after reading If You Give A Dog a Donut!  We also worked on a donut craft and Kona Ice outside!

    Pancakes on Thursday!  Each child got to choose a color and help flip the pancake!  Yummy snack!

    We also worked on cupcake crafts, played in discovery bins, had fun outside, and enjoyed music time with Ms. Joanie.  A fun week!

  • Week 2 Music Playdate for Toddlers

    We had so much fun at Music Camp this week.  Ms. Joanie came to see us everyday.  She played her guitar and sang some classics and a few new tunes.  We used shaker eggs to make our own music.

     

    We took turns painting a tambourine.  After they dried, we added stickers so we could take home our own instruments.

    Outside time is a big part of camp.  We make new friends, shoot hoops, and explore.

     

    We took some time to work on a card for Father’s Day.  After painting each child’s foot orange, we turned the footprint into a guitar.  “My Dad Rocks!”

    The Kona ice truck is always a big hit!

  • Down on the Farm – Toddler Summer Camp

    We had a fun week at toddler summer camp – Down on the Farm.  We sang songs, read farm stories, played games, did crafts, ate special snacks, and played outside!  Yeehaw!

    My cute chick craft.

    Parachute fun!

    Kona ice on Wednesday was a big hit!

    We also had pink piggies (marshmallows) in the mud (chocolate pudding).

  • Mother’s Day, Water Study, and Summertime Sweets

    Our study of gardens and flowers aligned nicely with our handmade Mother’s Day Cards.  The toddlers used stickers and drawn stems for the inside of the card while a sweet fingerprint bouquet was on the front.  We also created flowers using the bottom of a bottle and stickers.

    We moved onto our focus on water and the ocean using sensory tubs and crafts.

     

    Summer Sweets:  making muffins, creating popsicles, and ice cream match!
