Water Day!!

We had a fun day in the water today!

We played in a few different sprinklers, used our ramp as a water slide for our cars,

played in the water tables, and had popsicles!

  The flower sprinkler was a hit!

 Henry was washing dishes in the water table!

 Raegan was watering her flower :)

Hayden and Audrey filled up their cups from the "fountain"

Hattie & Addie took shelter in the house :)

We had so much fun that we are hoping to have another water day tomorrow!

Toddler's Under Construction!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

We had a very busy day today... from digging in beans with our construction trucks, to running them through shaving cream, to listening to the pop of the trucks running over bubble wrap, it has all been so much fun!

We also made a ramp outside for the children to run their cars down.  The children then  decided to build themselves a rock mountain to see if they could balance on it.

We love watching their imaginations at work!

"Bumpy Road" (bubble wrap)

Shaving cream is a great sensory activity!

 Andrew's truck was a "snow plow, covered in snow!"

Balancing act from the girls!

Fine motor skills at work

Did you know that ripping paper is one of the basic fine motor skills that most children at the toddler age are not able to do quite yet?  Here we are working on ripping paper and coloring with crayons.  This will help strengthen the children's fingers and is one of our weekly Handwriting without Tears curriculum pieces!

Popsicle art!

We had a lot of fun with our fine motor skills today!  We used different textured materials, such as popsicle sticks, pom poms, and tissue paper, to glue down to a big piece of paper to make a cool masterpiece!  Once it's dry, we will try to hang it on the wall for everyone to see.

Squeezing their own glue bottles is a great way to get their fingers moving!  As well as carefully placing small items on the paper. Andrew's imagination was hard at work as he told us he was making a picnic table!

                                                 Such a great day in the Toddler room!
