This morning started off with an opportunity to practice matching uppercase and lowercase letters with some plastic Easter eggs! Some of our older friends worked on finding the matching letters.

Below, Maddie found “her M!”

Our younger children focused on putting the eggs together, a task that can be quite challenging for little fingers. It’s a great accomplishment when it works!

Today, thanks to the Purple Porch, we had the opportunity to try a papaya! Friends gathered around the island as we cut the tropical fruit open, took out the seeds, and then tried the fruit.

The reactions were mixed:

This morning children were invited to the art table to decorate an egg with strips of tissue paper and glue. Each friend tackled this project in their own way, some choosing to make stripes, while others opted for a more random placement.

There was lots of focus and concentration using fine motor skills to create this festive art. The final results will be displayed back in habitrail!

The colder weather didn’t stop us from spending some quality time outside.

A big game of chase got our blood pumping today!
