The SCDC Children's Art Show is always a family favorite. As children work on their art pieces they are learning math, science and language skills. When we use the phrase, "Tell me about this..." we can help instill in chilcren that their process and thinking matter most.

When kids say “I’m bored,” it’s tempting to jump in with ideas or screens — but pause.

This morning, Ms. Emily read a few fun pumpkin stories with the toddlers and then brought in real pumpkins for them to explore. They couldn’t wait to dig in — literally! Tiny hands reached inside to scoop out all the slimy, stringy pumpkin guts.
Sensory play like this isn’t just messy fun — it helps toddlers:
🧡 Build coordination and motor skills
🧡 Explore new textures and sensations
🧡 Learn new words as they describe what they feel
🧡 Stay calm and focused through hands-on play
Who knew pumpkin guts could do so much good? 🍂🎃

💡 Swap a tablet for art, stories, or movement, and watch curiosity bloom! ✨
