We wrapped up our third week of summer camp today!! Yay! We had so much fun exploring music and instruments this week! The children were so excited to play with the inflatable guitars and take them home at the end of the day! We also painted pictures of guitars for our art activity. The children enjoyed playing in the water table with ice, sparkles, and music note confetti. Today, we had a very special treat- ICE CREAM!!! We enjoyed a refreshing treat on such a hot, summer day! Thank you so much for joining us this week!!!

Day 4 was a LOT of fun!!! We made “rain sticks” with tennis ball tubes, mini pompoms, and rice. The children LOVED shaking them and listening to the sounds they created. We enjoyed a special snack of strawberries with whipped cream! yum yum yum!!

We continued our music theme for the week with exploring musical instruments, singing, dancing with ribbons, and so on! We’ve had a lot of fun in the music center. Also, I brought in my guitar, and we sang together at the end of the day. Miss Kate taught the children a new song: “The Baby Bumblebee Song.” It was an instant hit! 🙂 The children also enjoyed the bee wings we made to go along with our “Flight of the Bumblebee” theme for day 3. Aside from the music theme for the week, the children had fun playing with bubbles and bouncing in the bouncy house.

We started music week this week! We set up a fun music center for the children to play instruments and sing. The sensory table was also a fun place to experiment with musical instruments and sounds. In addition, we painted ties for Father’s Day! Looking forward to more days of music this week!!

We’ve had quite an exciting week of COOKING! The children loved making strawberry jam, pancakes, and carrots with hummus! We also created caterpillars in a jar to go along with Eric Carl’s book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” Children enjoyed playing with the colorful pasta in the sensory table. This week, the children brought home a rolling pin and play dough to practice their cooking skills.

We had another day full of activities and fun! Our focus for the day was “jumping!” –And LOTS of it! Today, we brought out the bouncy house! It was an instant hit!! We sang the 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and did a craft related to the song/book. We enjoyed watermelon for our special snack for the day. Our art activity for the day was making monkeys with footprints! The children laughed about having their feet painted!

We had a GREAT day today! Lots of fun and excitement! The children were so excited to see that our sensory table had sand and dinosaurs in it! Definitely a treat for them! We painted with golf balls by shaking them inside of a pitcher. Our special snack for the day was popsicles! yum yum YUM! We had fun with BEACH BALLS outside, too! Check out the photos from our day:

Today we started the first day of our SUMMER CAMP! Yay! The children were excited to see that our sandbox has new sand and toys. It was definitely a hit today! They also enjoyed playing at the water table! –Definitely an excellent way to cool off while having fun! Miss Kate introduced the children to our new friend: “Sunny the Summer Camp Dog!” He was a part of whole group read aloud time this morning. The children LOVE him!! We also had a blast painting bubble wrap and printing it on paper! At the easel, children were able to experiment with sticky paper and small pompoms. We enjoyed some tasty muffins for snack time. The children were delighted to sing along and dance with Miss Sarah as she played guitar during music/movement time. Overall, we had a great first day, and we are looking forward to more fun and excitement tomorrow!
