Playdough is always a hit with toddlers! It's even more fun when little animals are hidden in the balls of dough! E even noticed that there were pairs of animals, with a baby and parent.

This week, the children were introduced to some "new" technology: a typewriter!

They enjoyed testing it out!

And when everyone wants a turn, we take out our writing tools and make a waiting list!

Back to play this week!

Getting ready to use the dot markers, but they have to be shaken first! Shake, shake, shake!
Then the markers are ready to use!
Then trying to use a paper punch, S discovered it works best to step on it. She knows it works when she hears "the paper crunch!"

Experimenting on unique paper in class today. One side is slick, the other side is slightly tacky. The children had markers, crayons, sharpies, and colored pencils available to choose from.

These are pearls. I’m giving these to my mom because I love her.

Now we stop! Now we stop!

Creativity with the objects at school. These girls are packing snacks in containers (made from Magna Tiles) for a visit to the doctor.

There was also a Momma kitty with 2 baby kitties at school today. One of those kitties had a broken leg😲

We love to see the imagination in play and the children working together to determine where the okay takes them!

Another busy morning at preschool! Using colored glue to create collages, along with beads, loose parts, produce from the garden.

Have you ever used colored glue? It is so fun to use and make interesting creations!

Making playdough together! These scientists each had an opportunity to feel the playdough ingredients, add an ingredient, and they all voted on which color to make the playdough.

Talking with the children, hearing their voices and perspectives, seeing the smiles on their faces, and watching connections grow. All part of the day at The Cooperative Preschool!

One of our families gave us this puppet theater! You never know what the show is going to be about, or what characters will star in it, but you do know there is a lot of joy behind the story!

Watch our scientists! Using baking soda, vinegar, and a pipette (great for fine motor skills), A spent the entire time inside watching, learning, and layering the reactions! Each child will approach the materials in their own unique ways.
