This is the Jibber Jabber News Wire. It is our online connection with the families that allow us the privilege of spending our days with their children. This newsletter is where we share funny stories and exciting events that take place while your children are in our very unique childcare. We will allow them opportunities that not every child would be allowed to have to explore new things in their world at a young age. We love to watch them investigate and see what happens as they try new experiences and gain so much knowledge. Please take a look and see all of the fun we have been having while we learn and get ready for school.

Let there be goo...












We love to play with goo. Goo: Cornstarch and water. It is a very unique texture and consistency. It is so cool! You can pick it up like a solid ball of dough and it will melt slowly in your hand as if it were a liquid. The kids love it, I love it. You can just sit there and play :)

Lets Beat The Heat








In the crazy weather we have to stay armed for whatever comes our way :) We went from hail to 100 degrees in less than 3 weeks. That just makes the children (and most adults) crazy! Since they didn't get much of a spring we have jumped right into summer. We are doing our best to stay cool by whatever means necessary.








We had a water balloon toss the other day. Which ended up being a game of how many kids could sit on the water balloon before it popped. Turns out, most of our kids are not all that good at catching and it is fairly hard to convince the little ones to throw the balloon to their friends because that would mean that their turn was over. But we had lots of fun. They had a blast and a little break from the heat.








We have broken out the sprinkler. This is my favorite way to do water play, because it is so open to interpretation. They can run through it, catch it on their tongues, in a bucket, or sit and just let it rain down. Plus it waters the grass. They love it, just the simple sprinkler no bells or whistles or moving parts.








It is going to be a long hot summer. We will have to be creative from here...

Toy Wash!





We had a toy wash. We pulled out all of the outside toys and gave the kids buckets of soapy water and sponges. I wish adults still found it so fun to wash stuff. The kids were so excited! They went from toy to toy seeing how many bubbles they could get to stay on the toys. There was a contest to see who could find the dirtiest toy. There were some dirty ones... And of course there were the kids who just dipped the sponges in the water and threw them so they could see the waste stream off through the air and get everyone else wet. Good fun and somewhat cleaner toys. Glad we got one good water play day in during this crazy weather.
