Week of February 24

Polar bears visited Toddler Time this week. If you hear some growling from your little one, that's the sound a polar bear makes.

Our book this week was Polar Bear Polar Bear, What Do You Hear.

Our songs this week were ABCs and Jesus Loves Me.

For our sensory activity, we played with "snow dough". It was made with 2 1/4 cups of corn starch, 1 cup of hair conditioner, and lots of white glitter. It made for a very soft dough. We had fun molding it and cutting it with cookie cutters.

For our art activity, we made hand print polar bears. For our fine motor activity, we made Eskimos to go with our polar bears. They turned out so cute. Make sure you let your little one show you their art work in the hallway. They are very proud of their work.

Wednesday was our field trip to CMOE. It was fun to see so many of our Toddler Time little ones join us at the museum.

Week of February 3

With Valentine's Day coming, it was a week of hearts in Toddler Time.
Our story this week was ABC I Love You.
Our song was Jesus Loves Me.

We painted pictures by stamping heart shapes in red paint. Everyone enjoyed the paint and the noise made when they stamped.

We worked on our fine motor skills by stacking heart shaped pasta on straws. All the little ones had fun and did very well!

Hugs are the best in Toddler Time!
