Little Lambs Learning Center

This week the toddlers focused on food. They cooked lots of soups, pizza, and veggies. The warm weather later in the week coincided perfectly with the opening of an ice cream shop!

The preschoolers focused on art and having fun outside. They drew lots of pictures with chalk, from food to scribbles to animals. They also blew bubbles and played in the sandbox.

Set your alarms! ⏰ Starting this Sunday, June 7th, our service time is moving back to 9:00 am on Sunday mornings! There will no longer be afternoon services.

We hope to see you then! ☕️

Services will also continue to be live streamed and available on our YouTube channel. You can find the service details here: dulutheran.org/virtual-worship-service

This week the toddlers focused on animals. They played with the felt board animals and loved seeing if they would stick to their shirts. Then they rescued animals wrapped in aluminum foil. It was a great way to work their finger muscles.

While the preschoolers didn’t focus on a specific topic, they did do a bunch of activities. They built sandcastles, drew chalk pictures, and played basketball. They also got ready for their spring program and graduation!

The toddlers were little gardeners this week! They helped fill pots with soil, plant zinnia, cucumber, and sunflower seeds, and then water them. It was a great way to practice taking turns with the different tasks.

The preschoolers focused on spring. They spent a lot of time outside as the weather allowed. They made flower gardens and decorated butterflies. They also loved picking the dandelions!

This week the toddlers played with flowers. They arranged flowers in vases and “built” flowers out of manipulatives. They loved smelling each other’s flower arrangements.

The preschoolers learned more about gardening. They dug up the garden, planted seeds, and watered them. They planted lots of beans, sunflowers, cucumbers, peas, and flowers.

This week the toddlers worked on their Mother’s Day gifts. Then they decorated wrapping paper for them. They ended the week by coloring pictures with crayons.

The preschoolers learned more about weather. They explored wind by blowing bubbles. Then they went on a nature walk and packed bags for imaginary trips with different weather conditions. They ended the week by making a sun craft.

This week the toddlers explored many different manipulatives. We built towers with smaller blocks and with mini waffle blocks. Then they twisted nuts on and off of bolts.

The preschoolers learned about dinosaurs. They started the week by making paper plate dinosaurs. Then they made dinosaur fossils in playdough.

This week the toddlers worked their finger muscles by playing with playdough. They made snakes, hot dogs, and cookies! They also loved getting out the toys on the playground.

The preschoolers learned about bugs! They looked at bugs through magnifying glasses. They saw hairy legs, pincers, and lots of eyes. Then they used all sorts of shapes to build their own bugs.

This week the toddlers were architects and builders. They built towers, houses, and robots out of Duplos. Then they made more towers and houses with magnatiles. They also loved playing outside in the warm weather!

The preschoolers focused on pets. They gave toy animals a bath in soapy water. Then they worked their fine motor skills to make collars for stuffed animals. They ended the week by classifying which animals would make a good pet.

This week the toddlers worked their fine motor and hand-eye-coordination by doing several lacing activities. They made necklaces and snakes out of large beads and shoe strings. Then they made creations out of paper tubes and pipe cleaners.

The preschoolers did several experiments. They explored magnetic objects and mixed colors. They also hypothesized and tested objects to see which ones would sink or float.
