The Kinder Cottage Child Care

We had so much fun exploring shapes at The Kinder Cottage Child Care! My little learners dove into a lesson all about our three-sided friend, the triangle.
​The children got incredibly creative with their themed coloring pages and crafts—how absolutely precious is that little triangle mouse 🐁? Our pizza slice craft was an extra special hit because it came paired with a real pizza party for lunchtime! 🍕
​To wrap up our shape adventure, we watched some fun educational videos and went on an exciting "hidden triangle" scavenger hunt all around the playroom. Learning is always a fun, creative adventure here at The Kinder Cottage Child Care! ✨

This week at Kinder Cottage Child Care, we focused on the shape SQUARE! ⬜
The children explored squares in so many fun and creative ways throughout the week.
We::
✨ Created abstract square art
🤖 Colored robots made from squares
🧵 Made a “Patchwork Square” creation
🎶 Sang songs and watched learning videos all about squares
🔎 Practiced finding squares in everyday objects around us
Learning shapes helps build early math, observation, and fine motor skills — and the kids had such a great time learning through art, music, and play!
I love watching their creativity grow each week. 💛

🔵 Circle!! Circle!! Let’s learn the shape CIRCLE 🔵
We had so much fun exploring circles all around us!
What we did for CIRCLE 🔵 Week ::

We searched the room to find, circles everywhere 👀—from toys to everyday items!
We practiced recognizing circles by watching a fun video and choosing which objects were circle-shaped.
Then we got creative 🎨
🌼 We made a beautiful flower wreath using circle shapes
🧁 We used cupcake liners to design the colorful flowers with circle centers
🐞 Created adorable ladybugs with circle spots

Learning shapes through play, creativity, and discovery helps little minds grow strong 💛
Can you find something shaped like a circle around you today?

Just another day at The Kinder Cottage where tiny fingers are doing BIG things 🐝🦋 🐞

Our friends worked on their fine motor skills by peeling and placing stickers—such a simple activity, but it takes a lot of focus and coordination at this age! Watching them carefully choose their spots and proudly press each one down is always the best part.
And let me tell you… the concentration faces were EVERYTHING. Tongues out, brows furrowed, full focus mode 💯
It’s these little moments—where learning and play mix together -- one tiny sticker at a time 💛

Butterfly life cycle week at Kinder Cottage 🦋

With my sweet 2-year-olds, we kept it simple, hands-on, and fun! From coloring their own little caterpillars to making colorful butterflies, they got to explore how a caterpillar turns into something beautiful.
Watching little minds grow is just as magical as watching a butterfly 🦋
Simple, hands-on learning + lots of creativity = my favorite kind of days 💕
Enjoy the wonderful art work from a special group of 2 year olds 💗

Spring has officially arrived at The Kinder Cottage 🌸
Behind every little masterpiece is a whole lot of prep… finding the perfect “Welcome Spring” page, hand-cutting each flower and pot, and getting everything just right for my kiddos.
It may look simple, but it’s made with a lot of love 💕
Seeing their faces when they create something they’re proud of… that’s the best part.

Here are their beautiful creations 🌼
