Spring animal activities arriving soon

April started with a theme of snakes, turtles, frogs, and lizards. A frog finger puppet accommodates a song. It's fun to match small snakes, turtles, lizards and frogs.

The next few months, we are diving into music! We took two of our shelves and filled them with instruments for the children to create music whenever they feel inclined.

Toddlers take on leadership roles

As we move along in the school year, there are more opportunities for children to take a leadership role. This could be teacher-initiated, or we might suggest the child look around to see if a classmate is available. It’s usually thought that the older children are the leaders, but sometimes a … [Read more...]

Hearts, ladybugs for February

February began with a theme of love and valentines. I love the heart activities that we have created for the toddlers over the years!

Following the seasons of our general cultures, we have Christmas objects to name, sort, match and explore, and Hanukkah is represented by a menorah, a dreidel, and the cookie cutters to match and name. If you have anything related … [Read more...]
