Surveying

B set out onto the playscape with one goal in mind, survey the plants around the property. He went straight to the far fence and noticed the rose bushes growing on the opposite side. 



B walked up and down the fence a few times looking through the holes and spaces between the structure. He began running his fingers along the bumpy divider and giggled along the way. 



B decided after a few passes by the fence that he wanted to check out other parts of the playscape. He would gaze through the leaves looking at the movement from the wind and the sun coming through the branches. 



 B walked down to the garden and began looking at the different herbs growing. He noticed the large sunflower dragging on the ground and giggled before stepping over it. B then went behind some trees to look a little closer. 



Once again, B stared through the leaves and the trees. It had me wondering what was so intriguing about the plants. Was it the breeze creating movement within the leaves? Or was it the sun catching the color of the leaves just right? B quietly walked off to his next destination into the garden. 


B made a few loops between the shed and the fence on the far side of the garden. He climbed over obstacles in his way and even had a few friends following his lead. 


B finished his surveying by looking at the corn in the garden. He stopped for only a minute to see the plants looking down on him. Before I knew it, he was headed towards the slide to for one final pass before heading inside.

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.

Rainbow Snow!

  The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow.  "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
