Curiosity's Child

We continued our work on seeds and sunflowers today with this collaborative art piece painted with the colors found in the sunflower.

We listened to beautiful music while painting and let all the creative feelings flow through us.

Last year it felt like we didn't get back in the yard until June, so we were all super happy today to be back here before we say goodbye to April. We ate lunch and PM snack outside, and we reminded ourselves how wonderful it is to be in the world without walls.

Just space and fresh air. And the freedom to work and play all day outside.

We hope you enjoyed your Monday just as much as we did!

We had so much fun with the open sensory play this week, scooping and pouring and dumping everything in to all places imaginable!

Clean up this weekend is going to be a blast 😆

Have a little look at why this type of sensory play is so important to our learners of all ages.

We found the BIGGEST puddle!

Which meant the best fun with the best friends. EVER!

We hope your day is going as splashingly as ours.

This curious crew has been enjoying their recent baking burst - from a discussion on brown bananas, we've had banana muffins, strawberry cakes, homemade playdough, and now banana and blueberry loaf!

They do the majority of the tasks solo, and only really look to me at oven time and clean up time! And honestly, besides the one or two seasonal boogers in the mix, this loaf was blooming lovely!

We had a great time Friday making child safe microwave playdoh! Everyone got to make their own and get their hands dirty and take it home with them at the end of the day.

This is such a beneficial sensory experience for the children, engaging each one of their senses as we see, smell, taste, touch all of the ingredients and then shout about how wonderful it all is.

Super simple to do at home, too.

Have fun!
