It’s hard to believe that it is our 5th week of summer camp!!! This week our theme is “Bubble, Bubble, Pop!!” Bubbles EVERYWHERE!! Check out some of the activities and faces of this week’s summer camp! 🙂 We’ve painted by blowing paint bubbles onto paper. We used bubble wrap to paint whales. This week has been lots of fun so far!!! 🙂

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!!!

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 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:

The Toddlers are having a blast exploring at the sensory tub this month. It is filled with (Easter) grass, tongs, and lots of bugs! The boys and girls used their fine motor skills to pull out the insects hidden in the grass. They love to tell us about all of the different bugs they find!

This month we have been learning about pets in the Toddler room. In the dramatic play area, the children can feed their animals bottles, play with their “pet’s” toys, and care for them in the pet nursery. During small groups, the boys and girls took turns giving the dirty dogs a bath. The tubs were filled with soapy warm water and the children washed off the spots. They loved splashing around in the water while caring for their pets! 🙂

The Toddlers are learning about winter this month. The boys and girls explored the “iceberg” with penguins, sea lions, and polar bears. The ice was cold to touch, but they loved to watch it melt!

The Early 3’s are exploring winter weather this month. We took a closer look at our arctic friends and their habitat. We talked about what ice feels like, and whether it felt cold/hot, slippery, hard, etc. The early 3’s had an Arctic blast playing with these icebergs!
