Good Afternoon!

The art easel was opened this morning. Many friends took turns painting at the easel using a variety of colors as well as strokes. A couple children used vertical strokes to cover their paper while others chose to paint in a circular motion.

Our creative juices were flowing as children built using different materials while the art table was buzzing with excitement. Lately, our older friends have been starting a project at the art table that will last a couple days, often adding onto their original creation.

When we headed outside, a group gathered in the garden to pick vegetables that were ready to eat. We gathered kale, cherry tomatoes, green beans, and plums from our plum tree! Friends got to enjoy the fresh veg and fruit at lunch!

We’ve been keeping up with the garden all summer long. Children love to collect the veggies when they’re ready and truly LOVE eating them. Our Wee Sprouts offer children vegetables daily so they don’t think twice about eating them. On most days, our Wee Sprouts are gone before lunchtime!

Later this week, we may do something different with the kale… .

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal and banana.

Lunch– Scrambled eggs with cheese, english muffins, oranges/banana, and a mixture of fresh vegetables (pepper, cucumber, green beans, tomatoes, kale)

PM snack– Blue corn chips and refried beans.

Wee Sprout– Pepper and cucumbers.

Have a fantastic evening.
