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.

Winter Wonderland!

Winter is here and so is the cold weather! Since we don't get snow ourselves, we decided to start off this theme by making our own!!!



First you have to squish it up to get the right texture! Everyone is excited to get their hands dirty!


Well, almost everyone!


Once it's all mixed together, the action begins!


Elijah and Sammy made it sprinkle down like snow falling from the sky!


Then they squished it, played with it, and tossed it around!


The end result, a white winter!


We love snow!

After the snow day we decided to make some snowflakes of our own! With help from Ms. Christy, we carefully twisted pipe cleaners and dipped them in "magic snow mix" to let them grow! You can see them hanging in the playroom!


Something we do get around here is rain! After making some umbrellas out of cupcake liners, we glued them down and let the rain come!



What a fun activity!

Last but not least, we made rain sticks! This was such a fun project! We started by painting them in fancy shimmer paint and then filled them with coiled up aluminum foil and rice! After securing the ends with tape, we had fancy rain sticks! Everyone was so excited with how much they sounded just like the rain!







We hope you have enjoyed our winter theme as much as we have!
