Afterschool Outdoor Activities ❄️ Regulate & Ground Your Child 👇🏻

3 Simple Activities - Pick One to Try Tonight (or more!)
• Nighttime flashlight snow walk
• Snow pile jumps or slow-motion runs
• Build a tiny snow world near the door

Why it Works
❄️ Cold air before bed helps reset busy bodies after school routines and weekly rhythms and turns it into shared family time.

🥾 Big jumps and slow, heavy movements give deep body input that helps emotions move and nervous systems settle.

🌎 And creating something small means you can head back inside and enjoy your mini snow world from the warmth of the window later. Who doesn't love a tiny snowman family?

Ten minutes, Twenty minutes, an hour - Gear up and stay out as long as they will!

Let the season do the rest. ❄️🌲 Be sure to save this for later!

Muskoka, it's been a blast! As we arrive home from the Pedagogy of Care conference hosted by the we are overjoyed with how visible care was in every aspect of this wonderful event.

From the event organization to the laughter and helpful nature of the participants, the Muskoka early learning community lifts one another up! The reflection, connection and creativity was in full effect during our Mountains and Molehills Educator Art Sessions and the results speak for themselves - have a look! Each painting held a story, as each of us do. We shared our stories through the art created, the conversations shared during the process and the words we used to describe our creations once completed.

Our paints are empty and our hearts are full 🥰🎨

Until next time!

Try something new - explore your interests and get creative!

We had an amazing day at the Growing Together Professional Learning Day with St Thomas-Elgin in London ON. We reflected on our happy places and how it mirrors our sensory preferences, while considering children's behaviour as messages about their sensory needs and preferences too.
There are 8 senses? There is sensory seeking and avoidant behaviour? How can we infuse more sensory input into the classroom and the experiences?

We answered these questions and shared some Ah-ha moments about observations from participants own experiences in children's programs.

"I didn't think about anything except what I was doing, I don't often take time to do that"

"I'm actually much better than I thought at this!"

"I wish teachers knew about this when I was in school"

"I didn't know about the connection between senses, well-being and learning, I always wondered why bright lights bothered me"

The photos speak for themselves, have a look!
