🫧💦 Sensory Fun in the Twos! 💦🫧

Our two-year-olds had an absolute SPLASH this week exploring the sensory table filled with bubbly, soapy water! 🧼✨

Little hands were scooping, pouring, squeezing, and swirling — making mountains of bubbles and lots of happy giggles along the way! 😄🫧 From practicing fine motor skills to exploring textures and cause-and-effect, this hands-on play was packed with learning (and a little splash zone fun, too! 💧😉).

There’s nothing sweeter than watching their faces light up as they discover something new. 💙 Sensory play helps build coordination, creativity, and confidence — all while having a bubbly good time!

We love learning through play! 🫶

WEEK 30- MAGIC UMBRELLA
I will choose a child to be the weather reporter. The child will wear the weather apron, look through the window or door, and report the weather. I will explain that the weather reporter checks the sky and tells others about the weather. I will show the children an umbrella and ask what it is and what it is used for, welcoming all responses. I will define an umbrella as protection against the rain or sun and demonstrate how to open and close it. I will show the chart paper and explain that we will create a story about a magic umbrella. I will invite each child to contribute a line and record their words, encouraging them to speak in complete sentences. Once the story is finished, I will model reading by slowly pointing to each word. I will ask each child what color their magic umbrella would be and then transition to the next activity.

OUTCOMES
❑ demonstrate use of
expanded sentences and
sentence structure
❑ describe activities and
experiences using details

WEEK 30- WET CHALK DRAWINGS
I will help the children put on smocks and invite them to create pictures using the materials on the tables. I will remind them that they have learned about different types of weather and umbrellas and encourage them to make pictures of rainbows and weather scenes. I will show them how to dip the chalk into water and ask if they think wet chalk looks the same on paper as dry chalk. I will continue this activity in groups of three to six children until everyone has had a chance to participate.

OUTCOMES
❑ use a variety of tools and art
media to express individual
creativity

WEEK 30- SPLATTER PLATTER PAINTING
I will provide each child with a ball and explain that they will dip or roll the ball in blue paint to create “rain puddles” on the paper. I will model how to gently throw or roll the ball onto the butcher paper to make splatter and puddle effects, reminding them to aim only at the paper. I will encourage the children to observe how the paint spreads and forms different shapes, just like real rain puddles after a storm. I will replace the butcher paper with a fresh sheet as needed. I will continue this activity in groups of three to six children until everyone has had the opportunity to participate.

OUTCOMES
❑ use a variety of tools and art
media to express individual
creativity

WEEK 30- STORM REPORTS
I will choose a child to be the weather reporter. The child will wear the weather apron, look through the window or door, and report the weather. I will read a weather-themed book about storms and ask open-ended questions throughout. I will explain that different kinds of storms happen and that a hurricane is a tropical storm with lots of rain, lightning, and strong winds. I will ask who has heard about a twister or tornado. I will show the children a soda bottle and say, “I have a tornado in a bottle.” I will let each child take a turn shaking the bottle and invite them to describe what happens. I will transition to the next activity with a song of my choice.

OUTCOMES
❑ observe and discuss
changes in weather from
day to day

🌸🎨 Creative Exploration with Our Little Artists! 🎨🌸

Today our sweet infants explored art in the most adorable way — by painting with a flower! 🌼💛

Tiny hands grasped soft petals, dipped them into bright, beautiful colors, and stamped their own little masterpieces onto paper. 🖐️🎨 Watching their curiosity bloom as they discovered new textures, shapes, and patterns was pure magic! ✨🌈

There were giggles 🤭, colorful surprises 😲, and lots of proud smiles as each little artist created something uniquely their own. 💕
