Pine Room Campsite

This afternoon J & L enjoyed a lovely day camping! After yesterday's challenge of building a tent, the kids continued with their play and began expanding it. More materials were set up to encourage more creative play.

"We need a campfire! We roast marshmallows and make food."

"I want to roast a marshmallow!"

"We can sleep in the tents when it gets dark!"

"I want to tell stories and sing songs."

"We can do that! I will sing you a song."

J closed his eyes and very softly began singing a song.

As it came to an end L expressed his desire to tell a story. In the video below you will see all of these different things transpire. It went as far as looking up at the stars! We paused play for a second to be able to cut out our own and put them on the ceiling. It was such a fun afternoon!

"Well, I have brown skin and so does my mom and my brother. My dad has white skin!" "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families. "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
