Good Afternoon!

Imagination: the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the sense.

Imagination would be the best word to describe our day.

This morning, Maddie and a few of her peers used the pegs on the peg boards but they weren’t just pegs; they were popsicles! The popsicles had several different flavors that corresponded with the colors. For example, the green peg was avocado flavor on Maddie’s popsicle but on Maxwell’s popsicle, the green tasted with jalapenos! They made up popsicles for their peers and taste tested them before sharing them.

The rest of our morning was full of activities that grabbed our attention such as the art table and building with magnatiles.

We continued our bug journey as we searched mostly low for bugs ranging from rollie pollies to caterpillars to worms. After children find a bug or two, they’ve been making a habitat in their bug jar.

A group of our younger friends made up a game today. Here’s how you play:

Step 1: A friend pretends to be a cat that’s asleep. Chloe just happened to play the role perfectly!

Step 2: Friends walk up to her quietly and try to wake up her. But when she’s woken up, she’s becomes quite unhappy and roars at them.

Step 3: Run away screaming!

This game kept our attention for the last hour of our outside time and drew in more friends each round that the game was played!
