Join us this Friday, Febuary 12th for our annual celebration of Valentine’s Day with Creative Tots Special Person’s night. Each preschooler is encouraged to invite one person that is very special to them to help celebrate this special day. We will make a craft, share some fun together with friends and make a valentines day card. The kids are always excited to see the chocolate fountain make an appearance and quickly realize that even the best snacks taste better covered in cocoa.
A turkey is a funny bird
The children have been using bright and beautiful water colors to create turkey feathers. This week we have been talking about the Thanksgiving holiday and they couldn’t wait to create their own turkeys! Here is a song we have been singing that you can try to sing at home!
(to the tune of “Pop Goes the Weasel”)
A Turkey is a funny bird
His head goes Wobble, Wobble
He only knows one word…
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!
sensory table colored pasta
This week our sensory table is full of colorful noodles! The kids have been digging their hands in this colorful pasta and scooping and dumping it! They have been using spoons to scoop the noodles into the bowls and pretend they are making soup! Since all of the noodles are different colors this has been a great way to practice our color recognition as well!
