A cute little paper rose craft. Crafts are a great way to build hand eye coordination and fine motor skills. It is a great way to build some creative outlet time. Folding those paper roses was also a neat mental health break. As a mentor, my role was to provide some examples, the kids took it from there.
The most important part of art is to have fun. Remember, it is about the process not the product!!!!

Fall Art can be messy but very colorful. This art work was a result of a triumphant nature walk in the creek with our toddlers. They collected some fall leaves and Maple keys which they thought were fascinating. What you see here is a non constricted art work, that was purely led by the children. We provided them with some washable paints, brushes and paper. The rest was all magic! Art should be about the process, not the product. Children love to use their senses to explore their world. Half way into this painting episode the kids were feeling the paint with their fingers, smelling it, and enjoying the colours they were unintentionally creating. After all art is all about having fun.

Children are like sponges; they absorb everything that they can hear, see and feel. Hence why it is important that we provide them rich material to learn. It's never too early to introduce children to reading. Here are some tips and benefits of reading to young children...
1) Helps with sound recognition
2) Improves listening skills
3) Opens up their vocabulary bank
4) Helps children to visualize and imagine
5) Teaches them routine
6) Provokes their thinking and inquiry

Tips to engage young children in learning..
1) Choose books with simple repetitive words
2) Books with big colourful pictures are a great choice.
3) Pick books with a few pages, if it it too long you'll loose your young enthusiastic audience.
4) Enunciate the words as much as you can.
5) Show and retell using the pictures.

Season Greetings from Grand Highland Child Care.
A little message from us to you. We are heading into the core of winter season, typically now is when you want to cozy up indoors. However it is important to bring your toddlers outdoors for a quality outdoor playtime. Outdoor play time in winter helps your child develop cognitive skills, social interaction, and sensory skills. It builds physical strength, boosts immunity, and most of all alows them to have fun in the snow. Here at Grand Highland Child Care center we make sure to gear up our kiddos and bring them outside for playtime in the snow.
