Happy Holidays everyone. I know I have been MIA on here but the littles keep me busy! I just wanted to share this advent calendar I found off season. It couldn’t be more perfect since my love for Little People is what inspired my daycare name!! It’s a Little People Advent calendar and the box doubles as a holiday scene. Some of the pieces from the calendar are to be used with the box like the star for the tree we uncovered today!! We are having so much fun exploring this calendar and seeing what comes next!!

For June we have been talking about birds and birdwatching. So we made some binoculars and took them out with us on our morning walks. I also downloaded an app that will listen to the bird calls/songs and then let you know what birds are in the area. We had fun listening to the different calls. I picked up some books about birds at the library and created a sensory bin filled with bird seed, sunflowers, a little bird house (which was also a craft as the kiddos got to paint one), two small birds, a “nest” made from a small wooden box, flowers, feather and small sticks! Can’t wait to see what we discover this week!

Happy St. Patrick’s day!! We watched some videos of people celebrating St. Patrick’s day in Ireland, listened to some Irish music, read a couple stories, made and enjoyed eating traditional Irish soda bread along with our Irish boiled dinner (corned beef, potatoes m, carrots and cabbage) and we made cupcakes with green icing for part of our snack!

Weekly round up! This week was a quiet but busy week. We started the week celebrating pi (e) day with a homemade key lime pie, then some more St. Patrick’s day inspired crafts (bingo dabber rainbow art and a gluing craft with a variety of materials (variety of coloured tissue paper, paper pot cutouts, gold coins, cotton balls and google eyes as per request!). The kiddos love collecting things on our walk and this week it was Little Rocks, they enjoyed exploring the tents and having play picnics! So much more happened but this is a small highlight reel of our week! And of course we celebrated St. Patrick’s day, but that’s on another post!!

IG have me troubles on Friday, so let’s try this again! Last weeks weekly round up!

We started to talk about St. Patrick’s day! We read stories, listened and danced to some st. Patty’s day songs from YouTube kids, started some shamrock crafts but the highlight was getting out on the couple really nice days for long walks and stopping to watch the ducks and geese. On our walks we talked about all the signs of spring we could hear, see, and feel!

Going to try a new thing, Weekly Roundup! Every Friday I am going To try and post a small snapshot of our week!

This weeks focuses were Arctic life/animals and the letter “F”! Even though we have these “focuses” every week, I do very much follow the children’s interests and don’t force anything. So some activities/ideas are a hit or a miss. The beauty of home childcare is that we get to be more fluid in our learning. And learning. Happens everyday in its own way! The last picture is of todays snack of homemade double chocolate chip muffins and fresh homemade bread that went with a nice warm bowl of chili for lunch.

We are such a fun and loving bunch and we are looking for a couple more friends to join us!! If you or someone you know is looking for care, send them my way!!

Happy Hanukkah to all that Celebrate!! Last week and today we have been learning about Hanukkah and some of the traditions, words and the story of Hanukkah. We painted Star of David decorations, made hand menorahs, learned the very fun game of dreidel and used glass beads as our “gelt”, lit our menorah everyday and watched videos and listened to Hanukkah music. Today we tasted some yummy food that is typically served during Hanukkah, latkes (potato pancakes), corned beef (which I learned is Jewish and Irish) challah bread and I also picked up some fresh bakery bagels.
