🎃🍂 Fall Fun at Schaefers Pumpkin Patch! 🍂🎃

Our Learning Express Birth to Three families had the BEST time on our field trip to Schaefers Pumpkin Patch! 🧡 We filled the day with fall fun, family memories, and plenty of opportunities for our little learners to explore!

🚜 We enjoyed a fun hayride through the pumpkin patch, played in the corn pits, and got up close with the animals at the petting zoo! 🐐🐓

Of course, no field trip is complete without some yummy snacks and a little craft time! 🎨🍎 Our families enjoyed creating, exploring, playing, and spending quality time together.

We are so thankful for our wonderful Learning Express families and the opportunity to make these special memories together! 🍁❤️

Learning through play, exploring together, and making memories that last! 🎃✨

Happy October!!! Check out our Learning Express Newsletter for all things Birth to 3!!!

We love playdough here at the learning express.

Playdough is such a fun activity with many benefits, that many families that our in our program, often request our "No-Cook Dough" activity!

If this is one you think you and your little would like to explore with, let your family support specialist know!

Little Fun Fact- Playdough inside a balloon also makes a super cool stress ball for parents too!

I know all of you have creative ways you use play dough to build fine motor, visual motor, & sensory motor skills. Let’s hear ‘em!
