Good Afternoon!

Hope that everyone had a great weekend! We started our day off at WWF with a sensory activity! Our friends were introduced to ‘clean mud’ which is a mixture of borax and toilet paper. They used their hands to feel the texture of the clean mud and also their noses to smell. They rolled the mixture into balls and different images.

While our friends worked with the clean mud, a few of the kids chose to do their own activity whether it was reading a book, building with legos, or playing with animals. While doing different activities, children had great conversations with their friends such as talking about the animals they were playing with. As a group, we also listened to a song about different animals and the noises that they make. This prompted children to go and retrieve a few animals that we have at WWF and talk about the noises they make.

After our inside time, we took the kids outside to play in the wonderful sunshine! Some kids chose to swing on the swing while others chose to play in the big sand box. Our friends loved running around in circles on the bike path! Their coordination while playing actively outside is amazing!

For AM snack, our friends enjoyed orange peppers. Lunch consisted of whole wheat pita bread sandwiches with turkey and melted cheese along with cucumbers and craisins. This afternoon we had animal crackers and cheese.

Have a great evening!
