Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you have all had a fabulous week.

“The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.” ~Peggy O’mara

Today friends spent quite a bit of their morning in the kitchen manipulating puzzles and coloring with crayons. Puzzles are always an exciting and very cognitive activity that we enjoy very much. Teachers are always intrigued while watching our little ones working hard on puzzles. Puzzles are a great way for our toddlers to develop both their motor and thinking skills.

According to Play Group WA Inc, “Completing puzzles helps develop essential visual perceptual skills that are required for handwriting and other important daily activities later on. It is important to match the difficulty level of the puzzle with your child’s stage of development. Toddlers can loose interest in puzzles that are too easy, and become frustrated and give up if puzzles are too difficult. Having fun is key.”

 

Breakfast: Whole grain Chex cereal with Apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat/grain English muffins with marinara and mozzarella cheese, peas and PPC cantaloupe.

Snack: Whole grain cheese crackers and Colby cheese cubes.

Wee Sprouts: Peas.

Have a fantastic weekend, we’ll see you all on Monday!

Marty
