After making some very special christmas gifts, the boys and girls had a chance to build a snowman! We used paper cups to build the body, buttons, a hat and orange carrot nose! We might of also sang the song from Frozen while doing art. 🙂
The month of December we will be creating, building, and playing with things that have a top, middle and bottom! During group time we decorated a tree and for small groups we built a snowman. Keep checking the blog to see what we will be creating next!
Today was all about turkeys! The children created thanksgiving turkeys during art using their handprints and some pre-cut shapes. In our discovery tubs the boys and girls were able to create turkeys using play-doh,feathers and a little imagination. Happy Thanksgiving!
This past week we talked about cows and how they make milk for us to drink and use to make other foods.
Ms. Susan planned a special small group where the children got to help make whipped cream and butter.
We had to shake, shake, SHAKE the containers of cream to turn it into butter:
Then the children got to help make whipped cream!
In another small group, we practice “milking a cow” by squeezing the water out of a glove and into a pail.
We had a very special snack: Our very own homemade butter on bagels and our whipped cream on crackers!
This month in the Toddler room we are all about the Farm! The children have had so much fun dressing up like cowboys, playing in the farmers market and feeding the farm animals in the sensory tub. More farm activities to come!
One of the boys and girls favorite morning tables. Building and getting messy! So much fun!
This week Ms. Taylor made some pumpkin play-doh for the children to enjoy. The boys and girls had the chance to experience things from nature in the discovery tubs! There were sticks, leaves and scented pumpkin play-doh. The children really enjoyed using all their different senses to explore and create!
Today was all about spiders! Ms. Laurel brought in a daddy long leg spider for all the boys and girls to see during group time. Everyone was fascinated by the spider! We counted the spiders legs and talked about things that would be stuck on a spiders web. We read the story Spider on the floor by Bill Russell. Then the children had a chance to go up to the board and stick a “fly” on our spider web. It was very sticky!
