Birds of a Feather

Wow, anyone else tired?! I truly hope everyone gets some good rest in over the weekend because these kids played hard this week! And with the upcoming warmer weather we will only continue to play outside and get in some good exercise.

Before we began our hard play outside today, the kids took some time to slow down and focus on some painting. We weren't going to use regular paint brushes though, that simply would not do. The other day L mentioned that it would be cool to use feathers to paint and we thought that was a great idea. We loaded up the paint trays, found lots of different feathers and got to work.

It turned out to be quite an experience as the paint didn't spread very well with the delicate feathers. Maybe it was too thick? Maybe we needed different feathers? Either way, the kids enjoyed using a different utensil to paint with and liked the fact that if we let the feathers dry out with paint they might "transform into a new color!"

It's always fun to try a new ways of painting. It truly brings out a very creative side to our kids. Have a great weekend!

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...
